About this release

We gladly announce the second bug-fix release of v24.1.x series, for ANSA, EPILYSIS, META, KOMVOS and FATIQ.

The new v24.1.2 comes to enrich prior releases with critical bug fixes and improvements.

In this release, RETOMO also receives an update advancing the Volume Image reader.

A detailed list of the new features and improvements follows.

Known issues resolved in ANSA

License Management

In case of license unavailability, pressing any button within the User Interface, while the Confirmation window was active, would lead to software abortion.

CAD Import/Export

During translation ANSA would terminate unexpectedly, in case the function base.UpdateMatsFromMDBBy() was executed through TRANSL_FUNCTION_PER_PART.

GUI

While applying a transformation belonging to an include, with the Connection Manager up and running, the software would hang.

Compare

The Compare tool would erroneously attempt to generate a comparison report for the Result Model. From now on, a Model Report is generated instead.

Data Management

Defining a Logbook template, without having set a DM path in advance, would result in an unexpected termination.

In such cases, the addition of new template and the editing of existing templates are disabled, and a related informative message is printed in the Info window.

Connections and Assembly

Upon Input of Connections via .xml file, Connection's comments containing the word "length" would not be read.

Moreover, ANSA would abruptly terminate upon Realization of RBE2-HEXA-RBE2, when "ANSA settings > Connections > General > Spotwelds Cut-off Adhesives" flag was activated.

TOPO

With the Grids flag enabled and the Wire flag disabled, the Curves > Create function would not snap on nodes.

Shell Mesh

Focusing on Octree function, abnormal termination would occur when running Leak tool function and using the option "wrap inner volumes" .

Renumber

Execution of the function Renumber > Offset would lead to unexpected termination.

Furthermore, the renumbering of a model would need excessive time when many entities (approx. 1 million ELEMENTs or > 1 million NODEs) with FROZEN_IDs were involved.

Scripting

Abrupt software abortion would occur during the execution of function base.GetNormalVectorOfShell() for 2nd and high order elements.

 

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

Calculation

Mass calculation with NSM applied to 2nd order shell elements would not consider the NSM.

SOL200

Unexpected termination would occur in the following cases:

-When a DVCREL1/DVPREL1/DVMREL1 had PMIN or PMAX and the DESVAR was dependent on another DESVAR.

-When DRESP2 referenced a DESVAR that was dependent on DVCREL1/DVPREL1/DVMREL1 with dependent DESVAR.

 

Known issues resolved in META

Graphics

Unexpected termination could occur when applying transparency on airbag particle properties.

General

META would cease unexpectedly when trying to calculate section forces from LS-DYNA INTFOR results and the geometry was read from *.d3plot or *.key file.

Nastran

Unexpected termination would occur while reading "Contact Results" from *.hdf file.

SOL145, Flutter results would not be read correctly.

Strain Energy results of 2nd order tetra elements wouldn't be read from *.hdf results files.

Abaqus

Amplitude's names would be ignored in Modal Response when reading an Abaqus load case.

LS-DYNA

Results from femzipped intfor files, would not be recognized properly.

Optistruct

Includes with relative paths ".\ " were not read properly.

States and Animation

Abnormal software termination would take place when trying to access animation bar options under specific scenario with interpolated states.

Managing Curve Data

Unexpected termination could occur by reading data from a DIAdem *.tdms file, as well as when reading curves from a Permas *.hdf file using a python script.

NVH Calculators

Modal Response would not read Abaqus amplitudes with option INPUT from extra file.

Images and Video Handling

Aspect ratio of the Active Window was not respected during image drop in a report.

 

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

GUI

DM Object lists would not retrieve the last used filter mode or sorting attribute.

Data Management

Deleting an attached file of a DM Item through KOMVOS would unexpectedly fail.

Machine Learning

Predictors could not be transferred to other file-based DMs.

 

Known issues resolved in FATIQ

Loads

During a Sine Sweep definition of type decibel or octave, wrong frequency values were calculated.

Calculations

Abaqus beam elements would produce erroneous results.

NASTRAN CBEAM elements would produce wrong damage values under specific loading.
