* Gravity Loads – G loads can now be added to a model through the Model Browser. * Contacts – Users can now designate whether neighboring parts should be bonded, contacting, or have no contact for more realistic optimization results.

Inspire’s workflow identifies areas in the model with aligned holes to make the process easy and intuitive. * Fasteners and Joints – Connect multiple parts in a model using bolts, screws, pins, or sliding pins.
