About this release

BETA CAE Systems announces the release of v22.1.3. The deployment of v22.1.3 will maximize the performance and enhance the daily practices of those who already enjoy the benefits of the previous releases of this version, but especially of those who have not yet migrated to v22.x.

Follows a selection of the most important items:

Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Known issues resolved in ANSA

CAD Import/ Export

CAD to ANSA parallel translation would not release translation credits upon translation completion.

Multi-instantiated parts with different CAD references would be erroneously positioned and potentially existing double dollars '$ $' in the filename would be erroneously translated into single dollar '$'.

Furthermore, regarding Product Tree Editor and especially CAD to ANSA functionality, the Vismockup plmxml parser has been enhanced to read the Part Names from ProductInstance, when no ProductRevisionView is defined.

GUI

The pull-down menus of some Module Buttons might not be visible when placed in a custom menu if the GUI Settings *.xml file has been created before v22.0.0.

Moreover, when double-clicking on User Attributes Lists in Settings, unexpected termination would occur.

Data Management

Referring to DM Cluster functionality, when executing "Send to DM" process more than once, despite the successfull transfer between the source and the local DM, ANSA would erroneously cease the "Send to DM" process due to Source and Target DM incompatibility.

The number of displayed results under base.OpenDMObjectsInNewTab() would be falsely limited to 1000.

Modular Run Management

ANSA would unexpectedly terminate upon displaying the "Interface Node->MBContainer" column in the INTERFACE POINTS list in Database Browser.

Connections & Assembly

Projection Method on RBE3 - HEXA - RBE3 would result in misplaced RBE3s, when the connectivity entries of Adhesive Lines were on the same Part.

Shell Mesh

Running the script function mesh.ReconstructShells() would occasionally lead to unexpected termination, due to corrupted tria shells with common nodes in wrong positions.

DECKs

Occasionally, when opening (via File > Input) large files of whole vehicle models containing approx. 5 to 10 million elements and 500 to1000 MB in size, the Database Browser update would require more time than expected.

Report

In Deck Report and Deck Info, requesting "Batch mesh statistics" for multiple scenarios, would fail.

For LS-DYNA models, scaled mass would be erroneously calculated, in case MAREA mass existed in the model.

Moreover, in Radioss, TOTAL MASS would be erroneously calculated after a Subsystems DM> Change Representation of Lumped Mass.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Known issues resolved in META

General

META would unexpectedly terminate, when launcher.txt file had a reference to an *.xml file that didn't exist.

Read Results

When reading LS-DYNA results, the Integration Points order for tetrahedron elements and the mean pressure result would not be read properly.

Also, Radioss USER VAR 5 results were occasionally not read correctly.

Managing Curve Data

Curves of AnimatorDB couldn't be plotted, when an Animator database was read like a common 2d-time history file.

NVH Calculators

The numerical accuracy for transient response analysis has been improved for cases where rigid body modes contribute to the response.

Report

Adding an *.xlsm file in the Report Composer would produce an error, when saving the report as a *.pptx file.

File Export

Unexpected termination could occur while generating preview of the exported CSV Results file.

CompositePost Toolbar

The execution of Plot results 2D vs. Thickness command would lead to unexpected termination, when unavailable results were requested under Plot results 2D > Options. To overcome this, a check has been added and unavailable results are now skipped.
