BETA CAE Systems announces the release of the v24.1.5 of its software suite

About this release

We gladly announce the bug-fix version 24.1.5, for ANSA, EPILYSIS, META, KOMVOS, and FATIQ.

Known issues resolved in ANSA

Modular Run Management

The Build Process of Library Items would fail, when Nastran parameter name length exceeded 10 characters.

Furthermore, referencing Simulation Model Build Performance, "Build Action > Check Assembly Status" function execution has been accelerated by 70%.

Shell Mesh

Upon “Cut” action under “Direct Edit” function, the option to provide tangential point would not work for mesh without underlying geometry.

Decks

ANSA would freeze during output in case Set ranges, containing ids above deck limit, existed.

Laminate Tool

Unexpected termination would occur when multiple layers were selected from GL area and modifications were applied in the layer attribute side panel.

Cross Section

“Beamify > Structure” function execution would apply the section offset incorrectly for Abaqus beams.

Scripting

ANSA would abort abruptly during input of multiple files along with post input script.

Known issues resolved in META

Decks

Concerning nCode, results on elements were not loaded correctly and spotweld results from .fer files were not loaded properly.

Focusing on LS-DYNA, bad handling of type *ELEMENT_TSHELL_BETA led to erroneous properties and possible unexpected termination while saving METADB.

Managing Curve Data

Integral attributes of a curve were not calculated when getting the attributes by script.

Auto Range on plot axis was not functional when navigating through curves, present in groups.

NVH Calculators

Focusing on FRF Assembly, in case FRF_LOAD_DOF string was not present in all subcases of a Nastran .pch file, used for FRF Component definition, incorrect results were generated.

Report

When saving the respective .xlsx file, the font size of the row and column headers was not set to a readable size.

File Export

When saving nodes to CSV format, multiple lines would be written per node.

Session Editor

The Static to Dynamic parameters window would not show the options properly in 4K resolution monitors. 

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

CAD Import/ Export

Upon Input Model Definition, when the input source format in the OS settings was other than the "English (Unites States)" the transformation matrices were not read properly.

Data Management

KOMVOS would create unnecessary copies in the TMP folder upon Export or Edit of compound DM items. Now, both performance and disk space utilization are improved.

Upon Import, attached files/folders with DM Attributes will not appear in the attributes list of the Import wizard.

The function “Promote Version” would report success, even in cases where it failed due to missing versioning ACLs. 

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 24.1.3 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.
