BETA-CAE Systems 24.1.4

Known issues resolved in ANSA

CAD Import/Export
- During the transition of CAD Body names to ANSA PID names while importing STEP files through ANSA Translator, Part names were not retained.
Model Browser
- The Global Scaling would be erroneous for Linux with KDE desktop manager.
Model Browser
- New Shells/Solids would not be automatically placed in the current Subsystem.
Modular Run Management
- Focusing on Intermodular Assembly, a connecting Subsystem would always be marked as incompatible, in the case of next iteration on a regular Subsystem that contained geometry mesh.
Connections & Assembly
- Converting Shells or Faces to Adhesive Faces would lead to an unexpected termination, in case of using a Subsystem as Current and having the Subsystem Draw Mode active.
- Furthermore, realizing connections massively would take an excessive amount of time on Windows machines.
Shell Mesh
- The "Improve" option from the "Paste" function would not work as expected.
Batch Meshing
- ANSA would falsely split warped quad elements at anisotropic zones, even if the option "Split Violating elements" was not active.
LS-DYNA
- Output of a file with Curve IDs above LS-DYNA limits would lead to unexpected termination.
- Moreover, ANSA would cease unexpectedly when changing the T1 of SECTION_SHELL.
Pam-Crash
- Pam-Crash orientation file did not contain the material orientation data for trias, 2nd order quads and solids (excluding hexas) when placed inside an Include.
OptiStruct
- PBUSH card in Nastran deck was not output correctly when switching to OptiStruct deck.
Laminates
- Upon execution of "Generate Report" function, ABD matrix was not printed if PCOMPs were attached on geometric faces.
Optimization SOL200
- Through Topography Wizard, ANSA would produce extra Task Items, not related to Topography Optimization.

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

General
- Significant performance improvement of ~60% in data recovery phase has taken place for transient analysis with many time steps.
Output
- Incorrect results could occur for models that contained CONM2s elements with zero mass matrix but nonzero moments of inertia.
SOL109
- Transient Analysis with many TLOAD entries has accelerated to x40 times, compared to previous versions.

Known issues resolved in META

General
- META would unexpectedly terminate when accessing "Materials" window after deleting laminate property.
- Sudden software abortion would occur when box-selecting solid elements, in case some of them were drawn as spheres
Read results
- Template reading was incorrect when "Activate models of active window" was enabled.
- In addition, UFF file format with curve data was falsely recognized as ASCII format, when loaded in META.
Nastran
- Stress results on the Superelement part were not read, when the geometry was retrieved by the corresponding .op2 file.
Abaqus
- Surfaces from solid elements were not created properly for Pyramid elements type.
- User-defined results in the .odb files were occasionally not detected.
- Failed CAX axisymmetric elements were not loaded correctly.
- Inconsistency in average-compute and compute-average stress calculation for shell-continuum (SC) elements took place. This inconsistency has now been resolved by handling the SC elements as solids.
LS-DYNA
- LS-DYNA hierarchy was not read, if geometry had been read from METADB file.
Permas
- META would cease unexpectedly, when reading large Permas input files.
OptiStruct
- Penta elements were not read properly.
Managing Curve Data
- Unexpected termination would occur while exporting curve data in .csv column format, when the option Multi column was enabled.
Curves from ERFH5 files were read multiple times, when read from session file.
- TDMS files were not read correctly.
NVH Calculators
- Referring to FRF Assembly, NVH Insights would just animate the component where the response was taken and not the complete assembly.
- Focusing on Modal/FRF Correlation, an unexpected termination would occur when loading results from Nastran SOL105 dynamic subcase solution.
Report
- Saved presentations with embedded Excel tables could not be read by the latest versions of Office365, because of a new format. A presentation with the old format can now be automatically converted to the new format upon saving.
File Export
- The selected states would not be stored in the U3DPDF file, even though the option "Selected states" was used during the export.

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Data Management
- Several attributes and properties of a DM item could be missing from the Details tab and Show/Hide Columns menu.
Machine Learning
- The name of the Predict Session function was erroneously changed to Predict Library Sessions.

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 24.1.3 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.
