The relevant FE wheel body deformation components for the load distribution across the facewidth are no longer determined via the virtual central nodes; they are now directly determined from the other deformation components. This affects the 2D proposed modification and the input variables for the analytical 3D load distribution.

The reduced stiffness matrix on the housing is now deleted when material data on FEM subcomponents is changed.

Specification of the bearing clearance is now considered for plain bearings that are defined as a linear stiffness.

An error in the profile generation of ring gears that are manufactured with two tools has been fixed.

For the notch types round notches, v-shaped grooves, and transverse bores the evaluation position for the calculation and the representation in the 3D model has been corrected.

GDE import:

- The "relief_length_actual" parameter is now imported correctly

- Irrelevant "measurement pointsets" are not now filtered out

GDE export: Two new selection options are available in the GDE export settings.

The default is "evaluation_by_segments." In this case, the design_profile and design_helix outputs are not exported in the GDE file. Alternatively, "evaluation_by_design-curve" can be selected. In this case, the above-mentioned outputs are exported. The corresponding switch is also noted in the "evaluation_parameter" section.
