Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Known issues resolved in ANSA

Modular Run Management

The performance of Check build actions has been improved up to 70%, combatting unexpected delays tracked in previous versions.

A duplicate transformation keyword would be written in the Simulation Run main file, in addition to the one written in the adapted Subsystem or Library Item, if the respective item was loaded upon defining the transformation.

Data Management

When trying to delete a Subsystem Group from DM, the contained Subsystems would also be erroneously deleted.

Downloading an FE Representation for a Part through DM Browser would not update the "DM Update Status".

Connections & Assembly

When executing the Connectivity > Auto function on Adhesive Faces, parts outside the search domain might wrongly be detected.

Shell Mesh

Performance increase up to 80% in the Grids Align function, when aligning a high number of grids onto geometrical surfaces.

Mesh Generation: The sub-options for Batch [Visible, Select, Re-Generate] would be inappropriately missing.

Volume Mesh

Running the Map algorithm, unexpected termination would occur in cases with several outer caps involved.

Batch Meshing

Running the CFD meshing algorithm, occasionally the algorithm would fail, resulting in a mesh result of poor quality with large growth rate and element size differences. Also, proximity and size fields would not be taken into account.

LS-DYNA

When working with Analysis Tools and particularly with Joint Assistant, unexpected termination would occur when an entity list was activated from the Database Browser.

OPTISTRUCT

Converting BMFACEs to elements would occasionally lead to abnormal termination.

Output

Unexpected termination would occur in SOL110 with EKE output request.

SOL200

Unexpected error would also occur in case of ANALYSIS=DFREQ/MFREQ with adjoint response and structural damping.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Accelerated Performance in META

Apart from a significantly decreased solution time thanks to the support of Message Passing Interface (MPI), a noteworthy speed-up has also taken place in the output of large HDF5 files, as well as in the Data recovery of ESE, EKE and DISPLACEMENT results for a large number of modes.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Actions

Thanks to the addition of right-mouse button Actions on Library Files via dm_views.xml, the user now can directly "Open in ANSA", ANSA databases residing within KOMVOS structure.
