Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Known issues resolved in ANSA

JT Translators

Attributes�f Key text and all related information from JT files would be missing from the Parts Comment field.

Apart from that, the output process of JT files, unreasonably taking excessive time, has been accelerated from approx. 800s to 30s.

Data Management

Considerable performance improvement has been achieved for all operations involving the reading of 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 with 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, up to even 100 times for getting DM references of LS-DYNA Subsystem.

Nastran

Unexpected termination could occur during the input of files with MODULES and "frozen" ANSA comment.

In addition, automatic conversion of Pyramid Elements (CPYRA) to Tetras (CTETRA) on output would lead to unexpected termination, whenever recognized FE perimeters were affected.

Abaqus

A considerable speed-up of ?20% has been achieved during the output of models with large number of BOUNDARY entities.

LS-DYNA

Focusing on Safety and, specifically, Dummy [Articulation], LSTC dummies with lumbar operations on "Contact" mode would unintendedly cease functioning before process completion.

Kinetics

Abnormal termination would occur while opening the edit card of a contact, after a body of the contact's container was deleted.

Optimization

The optimization process is now terminated if there is no valid result passed to the optimizer.

Contacts

Data recovery when DISPLACEMENT on SET was requested would lead to unexpected termination.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Known issues resolved in META

Graphics

META could come to abnormal closure when High Quality Fringe was enabled for QUAD8 elements with missing middle nodes.

Nastran

When reading large .pch files of size ~13Gb, some data could be plotted as zeros.

LS-DYNA

Node Ids under *NODE keyword would be wrongly aligned when LS-DYNA .key file was output from META.

PERMAS

It was not possible to read Scalar results in a local coordinate system.

 

Enhancements and known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Process Management

Focusing on the Application Settings of the Process Design, command line option with Name left blank would not be accepted, although valid for several applications.

Furthermore, the deletion of a connection line would not trigger the modification of the workflow.
