BETA-CAE Systems 22.1.3

Known issues resolved in ANSA

CAD Import/ Export
- CAD to ANSA parallel translation would not release translation credits upon translation completion.
- Multi-instantiated parts with different CAD references would be erroneously positioned and potentially existing double dollars '$ $' in the filename would be erroneously translated into single dollar '$'.
- Furthermore, regarding Product Tree Editor and especially CAD to ANSA functionality, the Vismockup plmxml parser has been enhanced to read the Part Names from ProductInstance, when no ProductRevisionView is defined.
GUI
- The pull-down menus of some Module Buttons might not be visible when placed in a custom menu if the GUI Settings *.xml file has been created before v22.0.0.
- Moreover, when double-clicking on User Attributes Lists in Settings, unexpected termination would occur.
Data Management
- Referring to DM Cluster functionality, when executing "Send to DM" process more than once, despite the successfull transfer between the source and the local DM, ANSA would erroneously cease the "Send to DM" process due to Source and Target DM incompatibility.
- The number of displayed results under base.OpenDMObjectsInNewTab() would be falsely limited to 1000.
Modular Run Management
- ANSA would unexpectedly terminate upon displaying the "Interface Node->MBContainer" column in the INTERFACE POINTS list in Database Browser.
Connections & Assembly
- Projection Method on RBE3 – HEXA – RBE3 would result in misplaced RBE3s, when the connectivity entries of Adhesive Lines were on the same Part.
Shell Mesh
- Running the script function mesh.ReconstructShells() would occasionally lead to unexpected termination, due to corrupted tria shells with common nodes in wrong positions.
DECKs
- Occasionally, when opening (via File > Input) large files of whole vehicle models containing approx. 5 to 10 million elements and 500 to1000 MB in size, the Database Browser update would require more time than expected.
Report
- In Deck Report and Deck Info, requesting "Batch mesh statistics" for multiple scenarios, would fail.
- For LS-DYNA models, scaled mass would be erroneously calculated, in case MAREA mass existed in the model.
- Moreover, in Radioss, TOTAL MASS would be erroneously calculated after a Subsystems DM> Change Representation of Lumped Mass.

Known issues resolved in META

General
- META would unexpectedly terminate, when launcher.txt file had a reference to an *.xml file that didn't exist.
Read Results
- When reading LS-DYNA results, the Integration Points order for tetrahedron elements and the mean pressure result would not be read properly.
- Also, Radioss USER VAR 5 results were occasionally not read correctly.
Managing Curve Data
- Curves of AnimatorDB couldn't be plotted, when an Animator database was read like a common 2d-time history file.
NVH Calculators
- The numerical accuracy for transient response analysis has been improved for cases where rigid body modes contribute to the response.
Report
- Adding an *.xlsm file in the Report Composer would produce an error, when saving the report as a *.pptx file.
File Export
- Unexpected termination could occur while generating preview of the exported CSV Results file.
CompositePost Toolbar
- The execution of Plot results 2D vs. Thickness command would lead to unexpected termination, when unavailable results were requested under Plot results 2D > Options. To overcome this, a check has been added and unavailable results are now skipped.

Compatibility and Supported Platforms

ANSA files saved by all the first and second point releases of a major version are compatible to each other. New major versions can read files saved by previous ones but not vice versa.

META Project files saved from version 22.1.3 are compatible and can be opened by META version 16.0.0 or later.

Support for Mac OS has been discontinued.

Support for 32-bit platforms has been discontinued for all operating systems.
