BETA-CAE Systems 19.0.1

BETA CAE Systems announces the new version 19.0.1 release of her software suite. In this version of the KOMVOS / ANSA / EPILYSIS / META suite, new features have been added and corrections have been implemented for identified issues.

BETA-CAE Systems 19.0.1 - release notes:

Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA

Enhancements in ANSA
General
- The 'Assembly Set' has been introduced. A SET entity that, through a wizard functionality, collects other SETs that belong to different Model Browser entities.
Translators
- When the full hierarchy path of parameters under a Part was missing, parameters could not be assigned in the corresponding Property.
Model Browser
- When outputting a Simulation Run, a check for the compatibility of the Simulation Model and the corresponding Loadcase is performed to avoid the creation of invalid output files.
Connection Manager
- Connection properties such as Diameter (D), Width (W), Height (H) SeamLine Orientation etc. are now represented and synchronized by respective xMCF 3.0 parameters.
TOPO
- Faces > Flange[Compatible]: Significant improvements increase robustness.
SHELL MESH
- Shell Mesh > Improve: It is now possible to save which of the Reshape or Reconstruct to use for the mesh improvement. This is saved in the ANSA.defaults file.
Feature Manager
- A new option to copy a feature is now available under the Context Menu>Design Actions of the feature.
DECKs
- The LS-DYNA SECTION_BEAM_ELFORM_2, STYPE=10 is now converted in the equivalent ABAQUS, ANSYS beam section when switching decks.
Kinetics
- Modify Contents: The function applied for bodies now prevents from adding elements that belong to an existing flex body, to the container of a body.
Known issues resolved in ANSA
Translators
- Import > Translators NX/ UG: Part of the geometry would be missing, after opening a specific NX11 file in ANSA with the use of the CT library.
Model Browser
- The "Reference" functionality on Subsystems used by Loadcases, would erroneously display the related Simulation Model as reference entity instead of the Loadcase.
LS-DYNA
- Input: The *INCLUDE_TRANSFORM would erroneously transform nodes of *CONSTRAINED_EXTRA_NODES entities when the nodes were on a different include to the one containing the rigid body definition.
Abaqus
- Input: *INITIAL CONDITIONS applied on elements with 9-digit ids would not be read.
Kinetics
- Auxiliaries > Flex Builder: Glue contact entities would not be written out properly, leading to erroneous NASTRAN files.

Enhancements and known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

SOL 200: Design Optimization
- Performance improvement in the sensitivities calculation phase for DRESP1 responses of type WEIGHT. Correction to the output of results.

Enhancements and known issues resolved in META

Enhancements in META
Decks
- Medina: SKINFE/SKINFEK results are now fully supported.
- PAM-CRASH: The Yamada-Sun and Puck2000 failure criteria results from ERFH5 files are now supported.
Occupant Injury Criteria Toolbar
- Support of test results from ASCII column (csv).
Fatigue Haigh Diagram
- Safety Factor is now calculated on corner results if available.
Known issues resolved in META
Read Results
- Units transfromation could be incorrect or erroneously missing.
Strain Gauges
- Results might not plotted with frequency as X Axis.
Curves
- Reread/Recalc could change the curves' name to their original.
Video
- MP4 files might not be output correctly since v19.0.0.
