BETA CAE Systems Releases v23.0.2 of its Software Suite

BETA CAE Systems announces the second bug-fix release of v23.x.x series. v23.0.2 is addressed to those that would like to delve deeper into v23.x.x potential, including a range of upgrades and performance improvements.

Known Issues Resolved in ANSA

JT Translators

Attributes’ Key text and all related information from JT files would be missing from the Parts Comment field.

Data Management

Considerable performance improvement has been achieved for all operations involving the reading of information from file-based DMs. Saving a Simulation Model or a Simulation Run in DM, retrieving the "where-used" references of a Subsystem in the DM Browser, or simply navigating through the "DM" and "Details" bottom tabs in the Model Browser, are now considerably faster, particularly with big DMs.

Nastran

Unexpected termination could occur during the input of files with MODULES and "frozen" ANSA comment.

In addition, automatic conversion of Pyramid Elements (CPYRA) to Tetras (CTETRA) on output would lead to unexpected termination, whenever recognized FE perimeters were affected.

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

Contacts

Data recovery when DISPLACEMENT on SET was requested would lead to unexpected termination.

Known issues resolved in META

Graphics

META could come to abnormal closure when High Quality Fringe was enabled for QUAD8 elements with missing middle nodes.

Nastran

When reading large .pch files of size ∼13Gb, some data could be plotted as zeros.

LS-DYNA

Node Ids under *NODE keyword would be wrongly aligned when LS-DYNA .key file was output from META.

Known Issues Resolved in KOMVOS

Process Management

Focusing on the Application Settings of the Process Design, command line option with Name left blank would not be accepted, although valid for several applications.
