BETA-CAE Systems 17.1.5

BETA CAE Systems announces the release of the ANSA/EPILYSIS/META suite 17.1.5. This maintenance release is focused on the correction of identified issues and is addressed to those who wish to continue to use the 17.1x branch with its issues resolved and not upgrade to 18.x.

Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Enhancements in ANSA
- Connections & Assembly
Connections are now always realized in the same order, based on the connection Id and type to improve the reproducibility of realization results.
- NVH Console Checks
New functionality added in Model Check for all NVH Console configurations.
Known issues resolved in ANSA
- Decks > Results Mapping
Unexpected termination would occur when applying pressure results mapping for specific source/ target NASTRAN files.
- LS-DYNA > Input
Activating the General Includes option ' Preview include structure ' could lead to unexpected termination.
- Pam-Crash > Checks[Contacts]
Edge-to-edge penetration check would be erroneously performed for all contact types except from types 37, 43, 46. Now it is performed only for the above three contact types.
- NVH Console > Forces Responses
Multiple frequency ranges would not be passed properly for the root cause analysis. As a result Forces on Node and Forces on Component were not calculated at all.

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Enhancements in META
- Modal Response & FRF Assembly
Significant performance improvement for the calculation of FRF Assembly Animations, Energies and Grid Participation Factors from the NVHC.
- Project Files & METADB
Significant performance improvement when opening a metadb saved by the NVHC.
Known issues resolved in META
- Modal Response & FRF Assembly
When Animations were requested from within NVH Console, the rigid body components would not be animated.
- Annotations
Color Pointer or Annotation did not work properly when edited from GUI.
- Project Files & METADB
Metadb that contained referencing Coordinate Systems would not be opened.
- States & Animation
Unexpected termination could occur when appending Generated States with different number of angles.

What's new in BETA CAE Systems 17.1.0

A new approach has been introduced in Model Browser for organizing model data in modular assemblies. Model organization entities (i.e., subsystems, simulation models) can identify and collect internal model set-up entities.

The Entity numbering scheme has been enhanced, allowing to optionally store elements and constraints of the same id. All loaded ANSA models can now be saved as individual ANSA databases, without activating each model first. Measurement entities can now be used as annotation anchors. Accepted values of user defined attributes can now be set and modified. Post actions (functions) can now be inserted for both CAD to ANSA Translators and Translator settings in ANSA.

Operations of ANSA in TOPO menu can now be recorded and repeated on another model. New capabilities include removing joined CONs, picking and joining single bound CONs recreating the underlying surface of the involved faces, further advances geometry fixing.

It is now possible to convert the nodal to property thickness and vice versa. The relevant script function is also supported. Diagnostic checks are performed during the automatic detection of Volume entities definition.

An optimized interface has been introduced n the NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) console. Furthermore, entities such as connectors, coordinate systems, beam stiffeners and rigid bodies can now be compared within the NVH Console.

Other features include
- Kinetics: The calculation of nodal stresses/strains and modal displacements/velocities/accelerations on flexible bodies is now available.
- Morphing: A symmetric copy for parameters defined on shell elements can now be created and improvements have been made in the Design change tool for Cross sections.
- NASTRAN: The mapping of fiber orientation tensor is now supported.
- Abaqus: Fluid-structural co-simulation is now supported, as is Eulerian analysis.
- Moldex3D: the mapping of fiber orientation tensor is now supported.
