Bug Fixes:

SDC Verifier

  • An error appeared on importing the Femap model without having the  scratch folder selected in the Preferences manually;
  • Crash appeared on the Report Designer after clicking on Report Layout on the Ribbon;
  • The project was not saved after importing the Femap model;

SDC for FEA

  • Incorrect formula was used in F.E.M. 1.001 (3rd, 1998) standard, check ‘3..Fatigue Summation’, parameter ‘Summed Damage’;
  • Incorrect formulas were used in EN 1993-1-8 (2005) Connections standard, check ‘2..Limits’, parameters: ‘Is Chord Width Class 1 or 2’ and ‘Is Chord Width Class 1’;
  • Incorrect formulas were used in FKM (6th, 2012) standard when calculating non-welded solid weld parts in checks: ‘3..Fatigue (constant amplitude stress spectrum)’, ‘4..Fatigue Summation (variable amplitude stress spectrum)’; parameters: ‘Stress amplitude 1 (Spatial stress states)’, ‘Stress amplitude 2 (Spatial stress states)’,  ‘Stress amplitude 3 (Spatial stress states)’;
  • Conversion of stresses at interpolation points into the weld direction was missing when calculating hot spot stresses;
  • Fixed exporting to groups with the same names (Simcenter 3D);
  • Fixed updating recognition tools for beam models (message was shown when the model was not changed) (Ansys);
  • Fatigue Components Extreme Table:
    • Crash appeared when there were no Fatigue Groups created in the project;
    • Fixed filtering logic;
    • The title of the table was automatically replaced with the default title when opening the table for editing;
    • Only selected rows were copied to the clipboard instead of the whole table;
  • Plate Property had incorrect parameters after running optimization tool for Plate Buckling Check (Femap);
  • Variable Stress_Gradient.X (same for all directions) returned incorrect result;
  • Predefined Load Cases did not work for Job of Jobs;
  • Crash appeared on pressing Ok button in Import Shapes without having selected any shapes to import;
  • An error appeared on loading the logo after loading Engineer details on creating a new project;
  • Crash appeared in Select Load Window when no job was selected;
  • The chosen unit system was not taken into account in Extreme and Flow tables Custom Check Table;
  • Wrong message appeared when filling the Expand/Extreme table for “Reaction Force” category in case of absence of the Reaction Force results;
  • The “Failed to attach load results” message appeared in Results Manager when trying to select custom or “Set as Default” Result Folder;
  • Centroid result option in Solid Stress was not copied on job being copied;
  • Report Designer:
    • Crash appeared on Components Extreme Table open for Edit after clicking the Select Load button;
    • Multiple Plots with the same parameters were created after selecting multiple parameters on adding;
    • Report items could not be generated any more once the generation of the report was terminated;
    • The Individual Loads Content item could not be generated when it was added from the context menu (Ansys);
