Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Enhancements in ANSA

Compare

A new option has been added in the Compare Settings namely "Apply_Differences_Similarities_PID_Matching". It controls how incoming PIDs are merged, when selecting "Apply Similarities/Differences" with the "Faces to copy" option.

Known issues resolved in ANSA

Model Browser

ANSA might cease to respond, when opening a file with a large number of instances.

Topo

The Base.ConsProject() script function would erroneously return deleted entities when the option "Delete Faces" was activated.

DECKs

The RES.MAP functionality would not map results on all selected parts.

NASTRAN

Fixed performance issue for mass calculation when NSM BCs were involved.

RADIOSS

During input, unexpected termination might occur, when /MONVOL was read.

STAR-CCM+/STAR-CD

Non-polyhedral elements would not be read correctly, for files containing topology type information.

 

For more details about the new software features, enhancements and corrections please, refer to the Release Notes document.

 

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

NVH

EPILYSIS would not output the results for the x-direction of the first node, when calculating an MNF file.

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

PAM-CRASH

Reading FPM results from ERF files in now enhanced, both in terms of speed and memory usage.

Modal Response & FRF Assembly

Significant performance improvement, when reading loads from Abaqus .inp files in the Modal Response tool.

Moreover, the total displacement in the Modal Response tool is now calculated as the maximum displacement across all angles, instead of the magnitude of the complex displacement vector. Now this calculation is compatible with the calculated results when loading "Magnitude" curves in the 2Dplot of META.

Known issues resolved in META

Read Results

Unexpected termination might occur, when trying to read results exported from AutoForm .m01 file (PAM-STAMP format).

Unexpected termination could occur, when reading displacements from Radioss H3D file.

Identification of Entities and Data

Selecting nodes using polygonal and front only selection, could lead to unexpected termination.

 

For more details about the new software features, enhancements and corrections please, refer to the Release Notes document.

 

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 19.1.5 are compatible and can be opened by META version 16.0.0 or later. To be readable by META versions earlier than v16.0.0, they have to be saved selecting the option "Version <16.0.0".
