BETA-CAE Systems 22.1.1 (x64)

Known issues resolved in ANSA

Modular Run Management
- The performance of Check build actions has been improved up to 70%, combatting unexpected delays tracked in previous versions.
- A duplicate transformation keyword would be written in the Simulation Run main file, in addition to the one written in the adapted Subsystem or Library Item, if the respective item was loaded upon defining the transformation.
Data Management
- When trying to delete a Subsystem Group from DM, the contained Subsystems would also be erroneously deleted.
- Downloading an FE Representation for a Part through DM Browser would not update the "DM Update Status".
Connections & Assembly
- When executing the Connectivity > Auto function on Adhesive Faces, parts outside the search domain might wrongly be detected.
Shell Mesh
- Performance increase up to 80% in the Grids Align function, when aligning a high number of grids onto geometrical surfaces.
- Mesh Generation: The sub-options for Batch [Visible, Select, Re-Generate] would be inappropriately missing.
Volume Mesh
- Running the Map algorithm, unexpected termination would occur in cases with several outer caps involved.
Batch Meshing
- Running the CFD meshing algorithm, occasionally the algorithm would fail, resulting in a mesh result of poor quality with large growth rate and element size differences. Also, proximity and size fields would not be taken into account.
LS-DYNA
- When working with Analysis Tools and particularly with Joint Assistant, unexpected termination would occur when an entity list was activated from the Database Browser.
OPTISTRUCT
- Converting BMFACEs to elements would occasionally lead to abnormal termination.

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

Output
- Unexpected termination would occur in SOL110 with EKE output request.
SOL200
- Unexpected error would also occur in case of ANALYSIS=DFREQ/MFREQ with adjoint response and structural damping.

Known issues resolved in META

Read Results
- Results from column ASCII files would not be read correctly in v22.1.0.
- Some OptiStruct .op2 files with Eigenmode results would be erroneously read and the States list would contain unnecessary modes. In addition, Shape optimization results from .op2 files for mode optimization would not be read correctly.
- Adams result files might not be read correctly.
- Unexpected termination could occur while reading TecDescription ASCII vector results.
Managing Curve Data
- META would terminate unexpectedly when Descriptionting results over distance of nodes of adaptive mesh and LS-DYNA Curves would not be properly Descriptionted, when the same ID was available for different entity types of bndout.
- Performance has been boosted up to 70%, while loading big Unv58 files on Windows OS.
Project Files & METADB
- Unexpected termination would occur when reading geometry from a solver input file and results from a METADB file, when the two files contained different number of extra nodes.
Automation
- Abnormal termination could occur when loading a model and a result with a long result name via the respective script function call.

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

Actions
- Thanks to the addition of right-mouse button Actions on Library Files via dm_views.xml, the user now can directly "Open in ANSA", ANSA databases residing within KOMVOS structure.







The engineers at BETA CAE Systemssee simulation as a tool that can be used to predict the future. The Swiss company seeks to offer tools for every stage of the product development process, and its vision is to stop trade-off thinking. Instead of working under the constraints of quality, time and cost, the company hopes that customers using its tools early enough in the process will be able to win in all three areas.

Working through a full development cycle can require different tools for different phases.ANSAis the preprocessor tool that accepts CATIA V4, CATIA V5, NX, Pro/ENGINEER and Jupiter Tessellation (JT) files. TheEPILYSISsolver performs structured analysis in both linear and nonlinear paths. TheMETApost-processor offers several options for framing and presenting a study, with a focus on graphics and visualization.

The new version 22.0.0 of the BETA CAE systems software suite comes with numerous new tools and features, designed to facilitate and expand your simulation processes.

ANSA v22.0.0 highlights

BETA is a simulation solutions provider,dedicated to the development of state of the art software systems. For almost 30 years, BETA has been developing tools and delivering services for the front runners of numerous sectors by listening to their needs and taking up even the most demanding challenges.



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 22.1.1 are compatible and can be opened by META version 16.0.0 or later.

Support for Mac OS has been discontinued.

Support for 32-bit platforms has been discontinued for all operating systems.
