Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Known issues resolved in ANSA

CAD Import/ Export

Upon Input Model Definition, unexpected termination would occur when activating the Settings via Product Tree Editor > Utilities menu.

Model Browser

Thanks to new methods added in Product Tree class, relations can successfully return among instances of the hierarchy via the respective script function; This refers to, the ids of the top root instances, the parent instance, the children' instances, as well as the corresponding part id of the instance.

Data Management

The user interface area of the main window would cease to respond, when trying to save a Simulation Run in DM using the Alternative FE-Representation, due to an exception that occurred in Build script.

Topo

From now on, the option "Handle as single solid" successfully enables the extraction of middle surface for multiple separate volumes.

Marc

ANSA would unexpectedly terminate when importing a Marc deck file with unsupported syntax.

Optimization

Optimization Tool: Abnormal termination would occur if the Optimization workflow was empty and the "Save in DM" option was selected.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

SOL200

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

Unexpected termination would occur in Optimization with frequency response and enforced motion.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Known issues resolved in META

Read Results

Geometry d3plot and results reading is no longer detained on Windows OS.

Annotations

Animation performance would be decelerated, while creating an annotation via "On Selection" option.

Managing Curve Data

Scaling and offset of *DEFINE_CURVE keyword from LS-DYNA input files (entries SFA, SFO, OFFA, OFFO) would not lead to the expected results.

User Toolbars

TPA What If Toolbar would not function properly, in case transfer functions, forces and point mobilities were displayed as curves.
