BETA.CAE.Systems.v17.1.1. Enhancements and known issues resolved in ANSA Enhancements in ANSA Scripting A new python script function has been added [utils.ImportCustomToolbarsAndMenus()],to provide the capability to import custom toolbars and/or menus. CompareTool A new Python class [CompareTool] unifies all model comparison functions. This class replaces the CompareFromFile() function, which is now deprecated. Data management It is now possible to handle both 100% and 150% subsystems in ANSA DM. Model Browser Considerable performance improvement of "Update model set-up entities " that collects the model set-up entities of subsystems and simulation models based on their geometrical contents. Connections & Assembly Improved performance for Spotwelds realization when a Reference Library is used for the Fe-Representation settings. Improved performance of Seamlines realization. File > Read connections: Reading connections of the same ID for different connection types is now allowed. Reference library entities for the entire FE representations from the options in Windows > Settings > Connections > Fe Rep Reference Properties, are now supported. CHECKs Free: Function can now identify and fix nodes that are used only by time history entities. Radioss Radioss 14 is now supported. Safety The Low Speed Impact tool is supported for marking the ECE42 locations and the positioning (single or multi) of the impactor include. SONATE Visualization of the coupling performed by SONATE. Optimization Task The result of the Check Template Item is now checked in Report Item. The importance of the result is controlled by the user by declaring its status as Fatal or Warning. Known issues resolved in ANSA General When an *.igs file was opened in ANSA with the option 'Read free geometry ' disabled, the Model Browser was displaying the geometric entities contained in the CAD file, while these were not shown in the Database Browser since they were not translated in the database. Connections & Assembly ANSA defaults of v17.0.x with assigned Fe Rep Reference Properties would not be read in properly in the v17.1.x. Volume Mesh Negative Volume: Specific cases where the check would report erroneous number of negative elements detected on model. Volumes: Case where AutoDetect failed to properly detect a closed volume. NASTRAN Deck Info: Mass Deck Info calculation was not correct when NSM set was referred to Nastran Header, because not all NSMs in the NSM set were considered. SONATE The reading of the Generalized Displacement output request was erroneous. LS-DYNA ANSA Kinematic positions were not output as PRIMER Kinematic comments. ANSYS The Preview Include structure option activation would fail to display the Include structure. NVH Console Assembly: When applying A/LC Points from within the NVH Console, named nodes were lost, upon changing the representation of the respective component. Loadcase Manager Fluid nodes were renumbered when imported from XML file. Morph and Oprimization The function "DV from entities ", (activated from Database Browser), would fail for some fields of specific entities.
