Bug fixes

#New release
  • Fixed formulas in Eurocode 3 Connections (EN 199318, 2005) in Dimensions checks.
  • The results for solid pyramid elements in SDC for Simcenter 3D were not read.
  • Deflections were calculated incorrectly for some models which contain beams that includes rotation.
  • Properties were not renumbered and duplicates were created after updating the model in SDC Verifier.
  • Software crashed on Optimization of the Single Fillet Weld.
  • The crash appeared after converting Peak Zone table to Fatigue Check plot.
    Fatigue Check plots were not generated after converting them from Peak Tables in
    Report.

    There were incorrect offsets in the Connection Finder for Properties in SDC for
    Femap and SDC Verifier.

    Export models from SDC Verifier to Femap versions lower than 2024.2, were shown
    incorrectly: with inconsistencies in geometry, mesh or not displayed at all.

    Windows like “Recognition”, “Tools”, “View”, “Component”, etc. were stuck in the
    SDC Verifier after minimizing windows with the “Show desktop” option of the
    Windows OS.

    Stress was not read from Ansys with Quadratic Mesh tool.
    SDC for Simcenter 3D was staring 2406 version of the Simcenter 3D instead of
    2412.

    Items didn’t show on the Ansys Tree, such as the Component Extreme Table and
    Contour Plot, for the Fatigue Check when using SDC Embed mode for Ansys.

    There were incorrect Offsets on the Property from Ansys when the “Read Each Body
    as Separate Property” option is turned on in SDC for Ansys .

    Embed mode in Ansys did not work after reopen it.
    Offsets were not taken into account in SDC for Ansys, so Connection was
    recognized incorrectly.

    When adding view from the “View manager“ and deleting it, the Untitled” view was
    shown in the Views tree.

    Some beams in Edit member (in all direction) tub were displayed in the wrong order
    in the Femap models.
App crashes when using shortcuts that are set to open recent projects (e.g. Ctrl+1,
Ctrl+2 etc.) in Ansys for SDC, opened via Workbench.
