We officially announce the 1st Hot Fix of 2025.1 for ANSA, EPILYSIS, META, KOMVOS, SPDRM, ANSERS, FATIQ and RETOMO with critical bug fixes and selected implementations.
Known issues resolved in ANSA
CAD Import / Export
ANSA would cease operating during the input of STEP files, output by Polyworks.
GUI
Unexpected termination would occur, when the Presentation Parameters toolbar - docked at the Bottom Area - was expanded to display “Draw Shell as Solid” option.
Database Browser
ANSA would cease operating after drag ‘n’ drop of non-empty Sets/Includes from a list in “Tree View” mode onto other models inside the Models window.
Geometry
Software abortion would occur, when using the API functions base.PlaneCut() & base.FacesPlaneCut() with the argument entities='all'.
Shell Meshing
Applying the Fix Quality on 2nd order solid elements could lead to an abnormal termination of ANSA.
Also, in case CONS were not aligned, ANSA would terminate upon hovering on CONS, when trying to select Source CONS.
Volume Meshing
Focusing on Volume Mesh/ Octree, ANSA would cease operating when deleting geometries, while having the “Hextreme” volume meshing window open.
Compare
Parts with empty Module Id could erroneously be matched based on Module Id.
Connections & Assembly
When executing the Autodetect Connectivity action on Subsystems with solid elements, the connectivity of Assembly points would not be correctly defined.
Data Management
While working with an SPDRM server-based DM, the saved Fastener features in DM would not be properly recognized by the automated procedure of the Feature Manager.
NVH
Upon execution of “Squeak and Rattle > E-line method”, wrong definition of the COORD entity of the last CBUSH of each E-line would cause error termination of Nastran solver.
Results Mapper
Using the feature “Preview Results” in Results Mapper Assistant would lead to an abrupt software abortion.
Kinetics
Unexpected termination would occur during the input of ADAMS/View command file in Adams Pre-Processing mode.
Morphing
ANSA would unexpectedly terminate by picking the “Morph Vectors” option in the History States context menu.
Optimization
Constraints with Expressions could not be created, if special characters (blank space) were included in the variables names.
Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS
Performance
One-calculation step has been drastically accelerated, leading to a significant speed-up in topology optimization with maximum size constraints (TVMAX); yet the overall time reduction depends on the job itself.
General
Contacts were not detected, if the user-specified value of COPTS, COPTM was invalid.
Known issues resolved in META
General
Unexpected termination would occur when launching META in OS with GPU memory less than 1GB.
Furthermore, running META with “-st” running option, would not read properly the main session file from the respective path.
Abaqus
Unexpected termination would occur when reading multiple result files with modified META defaults.
Issues occurred when reading .inp and .odb files saved under very long paths on Linux OS, where there is no character number limitation. Attempting to read these files on Windows OS would lead to unexpected termination.
Nastran
ERP results for panels from Nastran .pch files were not displayed properly in 3D.
Also, the contribution analysis plot for real panel participation results output as fractions from Nastran PCH was incorrect.
Moldex3D
Results from Moldex3D 2025R could not be read.
FRF Assembly
Execution of “Autoconnect” in FRF-Assembly would lead to unexpected termination, when Interface Sets Nodes were connected.
In addition, fluid modal matrices were not handled correctly, if structure and fluid were treated as separate components in FRF-Assembly.
Modal Response
FSI output from ANSA was not read correctly in Modal Response.
Moreover, Pressure Equilibrium FSI would not be calculated, in case there were some properties in the fluid model that were not in contact with the structure.
Automation
Since version 2025.1.0, the Template Manager didn’t allow loading a template with empty fields.
Script functions CurvesTypesIso() and CurvesTypesIsoWithNames() were not working properly on Linux OS.
Project Files & METADB
META would cease operating when reading results from a .metadb, which was initially read from Project Contents Browser.
An unexpected termination would also occur when trying to load a .metadb with “average at threshold” setting enabled.
Images & Video Handling
Abrupt software abortion could occur when trying to delete multiple markers from a video.
Also, correlation score between video and simulation could be erroneous.
Renumber
Renumbering a curve to an existing id would not work as expected.
Known issues resolved in KOMVOS
Data Management
Editing a compound entity through KOMVOS, would erroneously allow to modify the item’s properties. Now all primary keys are not editable in the “Edit missing properties” page of the wizard.
Machine Learning
The process “ML Training Improve” would fail to start, when "None" was selected for Curve results in the original Predictor training.
Known issues resolved in SPDRM
Process Design / Execution
Remote execution of nogui tasks would fail in Oracle-based environments when the system was configured to run these tasks on the SPDRM server’s machine.
Users Management - Security
When role-based visibility for accepted values was enabled, any newly added alias values through the "DM Structure Values" tool were not visible to any user roles. From now on, new values will be visible to all user roles by default. This enhancement improves usability and reduces the need for manual configuration of role-based access to new values.
Known issues resolved in ANSERS
Dashlet layout - Sections
Sections did not respond to collapse/expand actions. Visual overlap occurred between adjacent Sections or Sections and Panels.
List Panel
The button “Select all” will now select all items and not only the items of the current list page.
Media Panel
When two or three videos were displayed and animated in a single media panel, the animation was not smooth.
Installation
Updates from previous versions to 2025.1 caused several issues that have been successfully combated.
Known issues resolved in FATIQ
License Management
FATIQ license and respective credits were not released when executing the command “Release License”.
General
Sets imported from input file were not read properly.
Calculations
No results were returned in analyses with post.gz input since 2025.1.
