BETA CAE Systems announces the release of the v25.1.2 of its software suite

We officially announce the v25.1.2 release, for ANSA, EPILYSIS, META, KOMVOS, SPDRM, ANSERS and FATIQ, with critical bug fixes and selected implementations.

Known issues resolved in ANSA

Geometry

Selected CONS belonging to meshed Laminate macro areas, were not highlighted.

Shell Mesh

During Direct Edit, providing tangential point would not work for mesh without underlying geometry.

Batch Meshing

When executing a layers’ scenario, volumes of any inactive sessions that were previously executed would erroneously be deleted.

CFD DECKs

Output of FidelityPBS meshes was exporting duplicate patches, when non-conformal interfaces definitions existed.

Laminate Tool

The contents of laminate layers on geometry would not be modified.

Modular Run Management

Performance has been significantly improved up to 40% in Saving Subsystems to SPDRM & FBDM, in cases where Smart Connectors have already been applied at the time of save.

Furthermore, focusing on the Simulation Model Build Performance, there is an acceleration of Build Action “Check Assembly Status” up to 70%.

Data Management

Upon downloading a Subsystem Group, ANSA would falsely use the model action specified in ANSA.defaults (inputparams.ModelAction) instead of displaying the “Merge Parameters” window. Now the respective window pops up and the user is allowed to decide on the Model Action.

Optimization Tool

Optimization tool charts and plots, open in separate tabs, were not one-to-one linked with the original charts that were open in the Results tab.

Scripting

Unexpected termination could occur when an Abaqus IMPORT entity type was used as an argument in this function.

Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS

SOL200

Unexpected termination would occur in case a response of type FORCE would point to a CBUSH element.

SOL112

Unexpected software abortion could take place in transient analysis with enforced excitation and two subcases as output request.

SOL105

Incorrect results could be generated when using PARAM, INREL, -1 for buckling analysis.

Contacts

Incorrect results could be calculated when using IGLUE=3 contact parameter.

Known issues resolved in META

Generic

Contact Gap data from .intfor files were not loaded properly when requested on specific interface sets.

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

In addition, bad handling of type *ELEMENT_TSHELL_BETA led to erroneous properties and possible unexpected termination while saving METADB.

LS-DYNA

It was not possible to read parameter expressions within parentheses inside brackets, although correctly defined.

Abaqus

META would terminate unexpectedly when reading results without a description from .odb files, produced by AutoFENA.

nCode

Results on elements were not loaded correctly.

Also, results from .fer files containing mid-nodes were not read properly.

ParaView

Displacement results from VTU files were not read correctly.

Data Management

In DM Ribbon, parent DM Item Id was lost upon refresh action in DM Browser.

Identification of Entities and Data

META would cease unexpectedly when creating a stress linearization path from parametric point paths tool.

HTML3D

Flow paths were not updated properly upon label change.

Toolbar Designer

“Expand into User Toolbars” submenu option did not work properly since v25.0.0 and on.

Template Manager

Geometry and results were not loaded from .h3d files, using a template file.

Known issues resolved in KOMVOS

CAD Import/ Export

When the region format in the OS settings was different than the “English (Unites States)”, the transformation matrices were not read properly.

Data Management

Attached files/folders DM Attributes would not appear in the attributes list of the Import wizard.

Moreover, 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.

Known issues resolved in SPDRM

Data Management

Exporting a Subsystem Group of solver File Type that contained adapted Subsystems with References in its Representation File Content would fail to export the source, "unadapted" Subsystems.

Data Migration/Archival

The import of SPDRM DM package would falsely be aborted in case the dataset included objects of type 'changeset'.
