Known issues resolved in ANSA
General
Sorting by column would not be available in the Check List.
Script>Load: Upon activation, the File Manager would start in the user\’s home directory, instead of the current working directory.
CAD Translators
Translator would not operate as expected due to an issue with the command line syntax, related to “-idir” argument.
Connections &Assembly
By Connections>Check double connections, the selection of check method -i.e. “By absolute distance” or “By average thickness” would be regarded conversely, leading to erroneous results.
GEBs referring to other GEBs in their connectivity field, would not be applied.
Compare
When using the function Compare With Current Model the temporary models created during executing the Compare Tool, remained loaded after the completion of the comparison process.
Shell Mesh
By Grids Release, selected frozen elements were also affected.
In certain cases, when using Thick Zones not all of the defined zones would be created around a triple bound.
Volume Mesh
Check of Negative Volumes reported erroneous number of violating elements.
Decks
Checks: Upon fixing free nodes, all BCs defined on SETs would be erased.
Laminates: Comments for woven laminate layers were erroneously written, resulting in unexpected termination during file input.
Upon running a sequence of checks through a script, unexpected termination could occur.
NASTRAN
During input, the keyword following the MATT8 definition was not read properly.
NVH – Console
Grid Point cards would not open when Sockets were selected with double-click, within the NVH Console diagram.
LS – DYNA
Cases where the keyword *DEFINE_CURVE_FUNCTION was erroneously output multiple times, when the option \”Disregard includes\” was inactive.
Float values, in the field NP of the *AIRBAG_PARTICLE element card, could lead to unexpected termination.
Pam-Crash
When mapping NASTRAN pressures to Pam-Crash, mapped pressure and re-orientation of target mesh were erroneously indicated.
Morphing
Applying Direct Morphing with DFM could generate distorted geometry.
Scripting
The issues with the Script PartToPID have been resolved.

General
Reading NASTRAN Contact Forces results in the Section Forces tool could cause unexpected termination.
Saving results of elements and nodes in CSV format might not work for adaptive mesh.
Supported Interfaces
Abaqus *NMAP, …, TYPE = TRANSLATION was not supported correctly.
Wrong nodal results might be calculated from NASTRAN files by the Linear Combination tool if Nodal Calculation Averaging Order: Average,Compute was used.
2D Plots
User defined (template) curves for Radioss Spring Forces results would not be plotted.
