BETA CAE System S.A. announces the release of 14.2.2 of ANSA & µETA pre- and post- processing suite. This maintenance release focuses on the correction of identified issues and on the enhancement of our tools portfolio.
Enhancements and Known Issues Resolved in ANSA:
Topo:
- The script function HotPointsIntersect would lead to unexpected termination.
Shell Mesh:
- Creating a solid representation of a surface mesh by applying the VOLUMIZE function with the option “Merge” active, would lead to unexpected termination.
- Certain types of surfaces could lead to problematic CFD mesh.
Volume Mesh:
- Very large Layer heights would cause layers to intersect.
Connections & Assembly:
- The option "Do not Reconstruct" is now provided for all relevant to Seamwelds FE representations.
- Unnecessary checks would delay significantly the .xml file import.
- When HEXA CONTACT was applied with the option “single contact” deactivated, it would generate 2 contacts for each connection instead of 2 contacts for all connections.
Scripting:
- The SetEntityVisibilityValues function would not work in no-GUI mode.
Solver DECKs:
- After using "Apply" for the FE representations, a user-attribute is now created in the connection’s card that notes whether the Seamline elements are attached on the feature line or shells.
- The EL. THICK view mode combined with the User Min Max option (Color Bar section) of F11 card would lead to unexpected termination.
- Switching elements order through Change Order function occasionally would produce improper results or cause unexpected termination due to linked faces.
- Renumbering elements through RENUMBER function would occupy unusually high amount of memory in 32-bit machines.
- For Entities belonging to different includes, non-existing intersecting ranges would be reported.
- The NASTRAN PBEAM property cards did not store some values when saving the database.
Extensions & Known Issues Resolved in µETA:
Fringebar:
- The default title text of the scalar and vector results fringebars is now “Scalar” and “Vector” to help the user to distinguish them.
Section Forces:
- Section forces for solid elements are now calculated from the stress tensor.
User Toolbars:
- When using the CFD-Post toolbar to create Cd/Cl plots the X-Distance axis is now normalized and ranges from 0 to 1.
- The BusRollover toolbar was not read correctly from the .defaults file and was unusable.
Supported Solvers:
- When reading geometry from Abaqus .inp files, the position adjustment of nodes might be incorrect.
- For Abaqus 6.13 .odb files it was not possible to select the outer or inner element results.
- Reading geometry from ANSYS .cdb files could cause unexpected termination.
- Strain/kinetic energy results from Nastran SOL112 analyses would not be read.
- Plotting complex curves from Nastran .op2 files would produce incorrect curves.
- Plotting displacement curves from PERMAS .post.gz file would produce incorrect curves.
- Reading RADIOSS files that included the GRNOD/BOX keyword would cause unexpected termination.
NVH:
- In the Modal Response tool, the acoustic coupling conversion from the Akusmod format to DMIG would not be correct according to Nastran.
- In the Modal Response tool, if the DMIG Nastran acoustic coupling file had coupled nodes with a zero factor, the output coupling would be wrong.
Reporting:
- The .pptx file exported by the Report Composer would contain errors in certain cases.
