In substrate dominated stress function a form of 'all' that is only compatible with 2018b+ is used. That needs to be replaced. Use 'reshape' and remove 'all' from the argument list

Stress matrix is (X,Y,Z,t) dimensions for a transient analysis. For a static analysis it is only (X,Y,Z). When passing this to visualize it uses 4 dimensions resulting in an error. The stress matrix needs to be made 4 dimension whether or not the analysis is static or transient.

Hi! - Let's suppose I am cooling the base-plate of a power module using impingement cooling. To apply a heat transfer coefficient (HTC) that has large in-plane gradients, I would have to stick zero-thickness elements onto the surface and assign a value of HTC to each of them. That can be time consuming. Is there a way to map a f(x,y) onto the nodes of the boundary surface in PPower?
Thanks!

Hi - I was reading the manual and I don't understand what the domain of the solution is. It looks like the solution is calculated at the center of the mesh cell and therefore any solution value searched on a surface/interface between features would have to be extrapolated over a half-cell span.
Is that correct?

If a material database includes a material type that doesn't exist any more (ppmatXXXX) then MATLAB returns an error. The error should be properly trapped and that material should just not be added to the current library.

Hi - I was wondering if there is an automated way to mesh cylindrical sub-features like fillets instead of having to manually calculate the equivalent, stair-stepped mesh. Thanks.
