Known issues resolved in ANSA

CAD Import/Export

Regarding API242, two parts with the same Properties would be considered as different if their representation file had the same filename but different file path. In this case, no instances would be created.

Model Browser

Error termination could occur while clearing Filter in Lists.

Modular Run Management

The representation file of a Library Item in DM, when edited with a text editor, would be overwritten, despite selecting to create a new version of the modified file.

Data Management

Sync Representation would not have the expected result on occasions with multi-instantiated groups.

Connections & Assembly

Upon Realize execution, unexpected termination would occur, when the Cut-Off Adhesive Elements option was activated, and the adhesive was passing over holes.

Abrupt termination would also take place when a seamweld was realized with the "Flange to Flange" search pattern.

Topo

ANSA would unexpectedly terminate when executing the Curves > Create function.

Feature Manager

Focusing on Stamps and Fasteners, an abnormal closure would happen during feature recognition of fasteners or stamps, if the setting "Decks>Copied entity id" had a different to its default value.

Plugins

ECAD Importer would unexpectedly terminate, when using trace mapping with layer features smaller than a pixel of the discretization canvas.

The plugin would cease to respond if the imported IPC-2581 file contained inconsistent component definitions (i.e. components with different height, despite belonging to the same package type) .

 

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

SOL200

Abrupt termination would take place during topology with stress constraints, when the analysis was MODES, DFREQ or MFREQ.

Output

Energies ESE and EKE were not written correctly in .op2 file for transient analysis SOL109 and SOL112.

 

Known issues resolved in META

Graphics

Polyhedral elements would not be displayed correctly when per element color or transparency was set.

Moreover, Top and Bottom results would not be drawn precisely on 2nd order quads when fringe quality option was used.

Decks

Unexpected termination could occur in the following cases:

- While executing the command "read geom contents pids shell all" for an Abaqus .odb file.

- When reading Ensight results on bar elements.

- When reading on Linux OS OptiStruct H3D results that contained PSOLID elements.

Annotations

Filtering would not work properly when using variables as fields to search with.
In addition, Edit could not work when picking multiple annotations from screen.

META would unexpectedly terminate when using the advanced option for filtering the annotations list.

Unexpected termination could also occur when setting the number of rows to add a table in annotation's text.

Managing Curve Data

Focusing on LS-DYNA, while reading curves from DEFINE_CURVE_TITLE keyword, the offset and scale of curves (SFA|, SFO, OFFA, OFFO) were not read correctly.

With reference to Madymo, the time history result files would not be read properly since version 23.1.1.

Speaking of NX-Nastran, Panel participation analysis results were not read correctly.

NVH Calculators

Concerning Modal/FRF Correlation, AutoMAC values would be incorrectly calculated from Abaqus result files.

Regarding Modal Response, if an output frequency other than 1 was specified in Modal Transient Response, the timestep for time t=0 was not calculated, and the rest of the results were calculated with an offset of one timestep.

Report

Unexpected termination could occur when saving a spreadsheet that contained unsupported conditional formatting.

File Export

META would abnormally exit when an invalid path would be provided to ATFX output.

Automation

Command for deleting a spreadsheet column that did not exist resulted in unexpected software abortion.

 

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Data Management

Lifecycle Graph tables would not display the attribute values correctly. This would take place either on certain Windows OS or when dealing with Japanese encodings.

Configuration

Unexpected termination would occur, in case no Mime Types for files had been registered in the SPDRM back-end, and the user pressed Next Iteration.

Furthermore, the <profile_name>.db settings file, would not be read when KOMVOS was launched connected to an SPDRM backend, configured with only one Settings Profile.

Scripting

An SPDRM action that was configured to run a script with input arguments would lead to an error message, although the actions were normally executed.

 

Known issues resolved in FATIQ

GUI

Fields: Start, End, Offset, Scale and Repeats of Assign Loads window in time domain would falsely accept blank values.

Calculations

For the results Log of Damage and Log of Life, natural logarithm was returned instead of log10.

Task

FATIQ would unexpectedly terminate when deleting multiple tasks.
