Known issues resolved in ANSA

CAD Import/ Export

The queue time for an available license via BETA LM is now controllable, through a dedicated setting.

Database Browser

Loading an ANSA Database with numerous User Attributes has been accelerated by 93%.

Modular Run Management

While saving a Simulation Model or Loadcase in SPDRM, the "Representation File Content" attribute would randomly be omitted, leading to errors during the export of any Simulation Run that used the problematic entity.

Connections & Assembly

Concerning "Bolt On Solid" representation, the "Create contacts between parts" function execution in conjunction with D=0 would lead to aborted operation.

Unexpected termination could occasionally occur when realizing a connection while FE perimeters were visible, or while defining a connection curve manually via using different selection options.

Shell Mesh

Several cases that could lead to aborted ANSA operation have been successfully combatted. Such selected cases included:

- Applying Middle Mesh > Auto Generate [Extrude] on non-extruded parts.

- Replacing the existent layer elements connected to the external geometry.

- Executing Middle-Mesh on O-Junction (shells).

DECKs

Deleting modified entities during Model Cut would lead to unexpected termination.

During Beam creation process, ANSA would abort when edges were selected with "SelectFront Only" option.

Output of models containing SETs with ranges would require excessive time.

 

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

Performance

A significant performance increase (~3 times faster) has been achieved for the last frequency step in SOL111, in cases where Block Lanczos was used and multiple frequency steps were calculated.

Output

Unexpected termination could occur when calculation of participation factors was requested with the AMLS method, as this calculation is not currently available when the AMLS method is used.

SOL103

Abrupt software abortion could occur in SOL103, in case of multiple SUBCASEs with different output sets.

 

Known issues resolved in META

Managing Curve Data

"Performance has now been significantly improved while reading curve data from THP files, reaching to 2.5 times faster on Linux OS and 5.5 times faster on Windows OS.

Moreover, axes titles and values would disappear, when applying a non-existing value as specific abscissa.

Curve Functions

META would unexpectedly terminate when multiplying curves via session commands.

Data Management

During Session Recording, META would not create the correct $ {DM_GEOMFILE_0 } variable in the session to automatically read the correct geometry, resulting in wrong outcome.

FEMZIP

Abrupt META abortion would occur, when reading LS-DYNA geometry from a FEMZIP file.

NVH Calculators

Focusing on FRF Assembly, the frequency range check for FRF components with uneven frequencies could issue wrong errors, if the required maximum frequency matched exactly the available maximum frequency.

Regarding Random Response, RMS result was not loaded for Auxiliary Stresses of CBAR elements.

User Toolbars

Grouped toolbars were not loaded correctly from the "Load" button of the Toolbar Designer.

 

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Data Management

Overwriting the existing DM item after editing its representation file, could unexpectedly fail.

The values of "ANSA Creation Date" and "ANSA Modification Date" displayed in the list of search results could be erroneous.

Machine Learning

The License Server arguments "lm_retry" and "lm_retry_timeout" are now also effective for the ML Toolkit during ML training or prediction.

 

Known issues resolved in FATIQ

Abaqus

Calculations for Abaqus Random Response were wrong in the case of multiple Analyses.

Calculations

Intermediate results would not be calculated when changing loads and re-running the analysis.

Post-processing

Transfer function plot could not be read from an .xml file.
