CAD Translators
CATProducts of R32 no longer lead to error, thanks to the integration of the updated CT libraries (CT_2022_SP4) in the new release.
CAD Import / Export
The Product Tree Editor would cease to respond during parts' selection in the list, while trying to highlight them in the viewer.
In addition, the META Viewer would only interact (e.g., via Show, Hide, Show only) with the tab of the Product Tree Editor that was active when the viewer was launched.
Modular Run Management
Significant speed-up has been achieved upon opening the Renumber Tool, in models that contain Subsystems with per-type numbering rules, as well as in functions that modify the contents of Subsystems by adding or removing entities. The latter improvement is particularly noticeable in the Copy functions of the Database Browser lists.
Unexpected terminations had been noticed, in sessions connected with SPDRM as an SDM back-end. This occurred when a Subsystem was selected in the Model Browser and ANSA attempted to fetch its metadata from DM, in cases where Subsystem overwrites had corrupted the indexing metadata of the Subsystem in DM.
Volume Mesh
As for the Layers of the Structured Mesh, it would not be possible to assign different Growth Factors to different Properties.
Connections & Assembly
Regarding Connection Manager, the Nodes marked as FROZEN_DELETE, created upon Realize would be deleted upon Erase FE.
As for PENTA-CONTACT-ON-SOLIDS FE Representation, penetration values defined in the Realize field would lead to abrupt termination of ANSA.
LS-DYNA
Executing the function Checks>Contacts twice would cause unexpected termination.

Performance
Significant speed-up has been achieved in cases where multiple RESVECS were requested. In specific, requesting RVDOF in 900 DOFs, the time spent went from 2h:40m to 25m.
SOL200
Unexpected error would occur in the sensitivities calculation of an MFREQ subcase with zero load.
SOLUTION TYPES
Unexpected termination would also occur, when single node CBUSH1D elements existed in the database.
Enhancements and known issues resolved in META
Known issues resolved in META
Graphics
Executable scripts of ANSA/META have been updated, to handle the case of launching many jobs on cluster with nodes sharing a common user home directory.
Handling Entities
Unexpected termination might occur, when feature selection was used on tetra or penta elements or when feature selection was used and, as next step, a new model was read.
NVH Calculators
In cases where the maximum frequency requested in FRF Assembly was the same as the maximum frequency in a UNV file with Transfer Functions of a component, it could be possible, depending on the frequency request resolution, that META would not allow the FRF Assembly calculation to proceed, reporting that the frequency range of the respective UNV file is smaller than the frequency request.
Solver Files
Nastran: Vectors for Aux Forces of BEAM elements read from punch file would not be drawn correctly.
LS-DYNA: Displacements from .d3rms files would not be loaded correctly.
Permas: It was not possible to read Scalar results in a local coordinate system.
META Viewer
Error messages and unexpected termination could occur when importing project METADB files.
