Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Known issues resolved in ANSA

General

Focusing on GUI Settings and, specifically, on Mouse/Keyboard operations, unexpected model rotation would be observed by modifying selected mouse button operations settings.

CAD Import / Export

Thanks to the implementation of CT 2022 SP2 library package, the below formats are now successfully interpreted, in addition to the already existing ones:

• Catia V5-6R2022 (R32)
• 3D Experience R2022X
• Solidworks 2022
• NX CR 2007
• Parasolid 34
• Creo 9

Furthermore, the Product Tree Editor was suspended during parts�f selection in the list, when attempting to highlight them in META viewer.

CAD to ANSA Translators

*.plmxml files failed to be successfully interpreted with the standalone CAD to ANSA translators.

Data Management

Considerable performance improvement has been achieved for all operations involving reading information from file-based DMs. Saving a Simulation Model or a Simulation Run in DM, retrieving the "where-used" references of a Subsystem in the DM Browser, or simply navigating through the "DM" and "Details" bottom tabs in the Model Browser are now considerably faster, particularly in big DMs.
This accelerated performance varies from 1.5 to 4.5 times for usual actions in DM Browser and Model Browser, 2 to 13 times for usual DM operations, and up to even 100 times for getting DM references of LS-DYNA Subsystem.

Topo

Function execution of Offset [Faces] would lead to erroneous selection when the Feature Selection (Feature Area or PID etc.) and Highlight Hover were both activated.

Batch Meshing

The Holes 3D would not always acquire the nodes number according to the rule definition, when zone treatment was specified. Moreover, perimeters in Holes 3D would erroneously not be created even if "Create Perimeters" option was active.

LS-DYNA

Focusing on Analysis Tools and, specifically, on Deck Report [Masses], TOTAL_BODY_MASS would be erroneously calculated, when mass from PART_INERTIA was added. Furthermore, reading unsupported value for NOTYP field of FREQUENCY_DOMAIN_SSD would lead to unexpected termination.

Abaqus

Focusing on Auxiliaries and, specifically, on Contact [Assistant], GEB_SB would not be created at the last step, when elements of main and secondary sets were created through connections.

Radioss

Unexpected termination could occur upon Contacts Check, in case one of the SETs contained SOLIDFACETs.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Known issues resolved in META

General

Focusing on Parametric Points and specifically on Strain Gauge, unexpected inaccuracy would occur between the Scalar and Vector strain results of the LS -DYNA solver and the results calculated by Strain Gauge tool from META.

NVH Calculators

Focusing on Modal / FRF Correlation, modes in universal file format in datablock 2414 were not correctly transformed to local coordinate system.

Regarding Modal Response, unexpected termination could occur when calculating corner stress results on TETRA10 elements.

Flow Paths

Speaking of Streamlines, Flow Paths could not be generated from surfaces in cases of very dense boundary layer meshes.

Report

Adding text in a spreadsheet using the spreadsheet script functions has been accelerated, equivalently to using session commands.

Automation

The script function plot2d.CurvesTypesIsoWithNames() was not working as expected on Windows OS.
