Common issues resolved

Communication with License Manager

A new option to "Save & Retry" for license has been added in the CONFIRMATION dialogue window that pops up in ANSA and META, when the communication with the license server is interrupted. In this way, the user will be able to first save the file and then retry re-acquire license.

Graphics

ANSA and META could potentially fail to launch on a unique display, while executing batch jobs in parallel via VirtualX.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Known issues resolved in ANSA

Connections & Assembly

The calculation of skipped adhesive elements (Cut-off Adhesives) for spotweld and adhesive line realization would produce erroneous results.

Safety

Unexpected termination of the Seatbelt Tool would occur, when changing the Number of Shells during Seatbelt re-creation.

Scripting

The Node Ids would be erroneously renumbered and duplicated, when using the function base.AddToModelContainer(), because of the numbering rules applied on the Model Browser container of the Nodes.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

SOL200

Unexpected termination would occur in optimization with frequency response, coupled with enforced motion.

In SOL200 runs, the CDAMP1/CDAMP3 elements would not be connected correctly with PDAMP properties. In addition, values from DVPREL entries would not be not passed.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Known issues resolved in META

BETA Packager Installer

The Toolbars Packager can now handle function calls that use the "dotted" notation. The dots will be automatically replaced by double underscores, so that the respective functions are created without any issues.

Nastran

Unexpected termination could occur while reading curves from .h5 files, due to memory leak.

Pam-Crash

Results could not be loaded correctly while reading .erfh5 files.

Managing Curve Data

When reading Contribution analysis results without Total Curve, the corresponding plots were not populated correctly.

LS-DYNA: Curves would not be properly plotted from a binout file, when the same Id was available for different entity types of 'swforc'.

Total Panel contributions would not be not read correctly for NX-Nastran.

Subcases States were missing when reading Nastran .h5 SOL111 results with Stresses.

NVH Calculators & Modal Response

FS Coupling: Too many structural elements would be included in the FSI, when the fluid mesh penetrated the surrounding structure in a way that the free surface rested significantly outside the surrounding panels.

When two FLUID PIDs had common faces, the FSI calculation would occasionally take into account faces which were not part of the outer surface of the fluid.

Fixed inaccurate numerical transient response analysis results, in cases where rigid body modes contributed to the response.
