BETA CAE System S.A. announces the release of v14.1.1 of their ANSA & μETA pre- and –post processing suite with additional new features and tools, and enhancements in the existing ones.

New features & Enhancements in ANSA

  • The translation Option window now automatically pops-up when importing a native file (CATIA, ProE, etc.) directly into ANSA. It is also possible to enable or disable the automatic pop-up
  • A new function that verifies whether the ANSA connection entities and the geometrical representations of these connections match
  • When projecting a closed single perimeter or edges, the option to open a hole is now available
  • The PATRAN calculation method for the solid elements skewness criterion has been implemented

Known Issues Resolved in ANSA

  • The option to “Generate tubes center line” could lead to unexpected termination
  • Removing stored bookmarks in On-Line Help Window would lead to unexpected termination
  • Occasionally, curves and the points could not be read from VDA files
  • The values for Margin and Spacing would not be kept in the Multiple connection points window
  • The ADHESIVE tool would create 1 layer regardless of the input in the “number of layers” field
  • The BOLT_ON_SOLID representation would fail to realize whether the option “Last Tube Body Type” was “same”
  • The SOLID_NUGGET representation would not respect the option “Dist from perimeter”
  • The option “Split remaining violating quads” in Fix Qual tab, would lead to unexpected termination
  • When using ALIGN, the latest selected direction points or plane would be kept for the new selection of intended for alignment nodes
  • When a closed single perimeter (or edges) was projected, the resulting mesh would also have an opened hole
  • When modifying beam properties through the lists (e.g. Database browser), the blank fields would be filled with a random value
  • The Reposition Flanges Fix option would not move the flanges on the desired distance
  • NOM2REAL morphing function could lead to unexpected termination on Windows OS
  • Solid attached on geometry would make the DFM morphing function to fail
  • Blank values of ND in EIGRL card are now supported
  • Editing the Damping Patch task item would lead to unexpected termination (Nastran)
  • The value in D4 field for SECTION_BEAM_ELFORM_2 would not be outputted (LS-DYNA)
  • Saving the MatDB would save Curves and Tables that were not used by any material (LS- DYNA)
  • When negative RSYS ids existed, the mass was not read-in (MEDINA)
  • The option to create new property (BEAM>New) was missing (PERMAS)
  • .tdf files would not be read-in at Windows OS (RadTherm)
  • Beam elements created through Elements>Util>Reinforcement to Beam (Nastran), would not be exported (SESTRA)

New features & enhancements in µETA

  • Support of Abaqus CPRESS SPOS contact pressure results on shell elements
  • The FMVSS_201U toolbar can now map the HIC values on the model for Results Overview
  • The CFD Post toolbar can now process binary STAR-CCM+ and SC/TETRA result files

Known Issues Resolved in µETA

  • Results could not be read from certain Abaqus .odb files
  • In certain cases density information was not properly read from Nastran SOL200 *.des files
  • Curves could not be created from certain Pamcrash .THP files
  • Reading certain Permas *.uci files could lead to unexpected termination
  • Reading large SC/TETRA *.fld files could lead to unexpected termination
  • Saving Statistics data in .csv format could lead to unexpected termination
  • Plotting Panel Participation results in the Modal Response tool could lead to unexpected termination
  • Saving .pptx reports after copying or deleting slides could lead to unexpected termination
  • The creation of Parametric Point paths by picking nodes was not correct
  • Images were not saved correctly in batch mode in certain cases
  • The MetaDB Translator would not save vector results correctly
