Chapter 6: ANSYS Structural Products

6.1. Mechanical
6.1.1. Resolved Issues and Limitations

When performing DesignPoint Updates, you can now successfully use a combination of PrepPost and Solver licenses, rather than using all solver licenses. The combination no longer causes the solution to fail as an appropriate solver license will now be used. Note that the LM1 License Manager must be installed. (38833) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201214, regarding force and moment reaction probes in random vibration and response spectrum analyses scoped to remote displacements, has been included in this Service Pack. (45670) Specific to the Rigid Body Dynamics solver, stops on point on curve joint behavior has been improved in the RBD solver to ensure accurate and robust stop detection in every situation, particularly when the joint is based on constraint equations (kinematic). This latter information can be obtained using Model Topology. (45727) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201218, regarding the layer thickness defined in a Layered Section object and the membrane offset defined in a Layered Section, Thickness, or Imported Thickness object being interpreted incorrectly if the active units do not match the solver units, has been included in this Service Pack. (47369) You can now interrupt an Explicit Dynamics 2D analysis by selecting the Stop Solution button on the ANSYS Workbench Solution Status. (48067)
11
ANSYS Structural Products The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report AD201302, regarding free values being ignored in an Explicit Dynamics analysis where constraints are applied to adjacent faces, has been included in this Service Pack. (48571) Hyperelastic material models now correctly display equi-biaxial and shear stressstrain curves. (48795) Incorrect display of an Explicit Dynamics license error when a spring is added to the connections folder of a non-Explicit system has been corrected. (49065) Radial gap behavior has been improved to ensure proper radial stop detection in the Rigid Body Dynamics solver. (49221) Specific to the Rigid Body Dynamics solver, model topology behavior has been improved to ensure that information is consistent with the internal treatment of the RBD transient solver. (49437) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201308, regarding a scenario where after a prestressed Mode Superposition (MSUP) analysis is completely solved any change made to the Constant Damping Coefficient of Engineering Data is not taken into effect for a new solution, has been included in this Service Pack. (49506) In an Explicit Dynamics analysis, for proximity contact, the gap size calculation now takes into account the contribution from manual contacts and the pinball factor. (49719) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201302, regarding a scenario within a Solution Combination environment or Design Assessment environment, where the Contact Tool results (excluding Contact Status) may be displayed in an incorrect unit system, has been included in this Service Pack. (50001) Specific to the Rigid Body Dynamics solver, stop behavior has been improved in the RBD solver to ensure reliable shock detection with small gaps. (50355) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201305, regarding incorrect application of drop-down list parameters for Damage Initiation Criteria in the Engineering Data Workspace, has been included in this Service Pack. (50406) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201304, where if the Reference Temperature input unit for the Shift Function (WLF, TN, and TNF)
12
Mechanical APDL material model is selected to be K or R (via Reference Units (Temperature)), it is interpreted in the solver as having units of C or F, has been included in this Service Pack. (50522) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201306, specific to Rigid Dynamics where in some situations results given by joint probes for universal joints are incorrect, has been included in this Service Pack. (51301) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report WB201307, where results might be displayed in the wrong unit system when a user defined result is scoped to a surface or to a path (includes the identifier from a regular result in the expression detail), has been included in this Service Pack. (52206) Specific to the Rigid Body Dynamics solver, the behavior of frictional contact has been improved to ensure correct results with the RBD solver. (53842)
6.2. Mechanical APDL


The problem of occasional aborts when the ADAMS command macro (ANSYSADAMS Interface) is used on a Linux machine has been corrected. (44709) Contact connectivity now remains the same between Linear Perturbation restart and Linear Perturbation buckling analysis phases when large deflection key is turned off (NLGEOM,off ). This prevents such models from failing and reporting the following fatal error: "Stiffness present for nodes not on element N in element matrix." (45395) Node-to-element mapping logic used by CBDOF, BFINT, CEINTF, MPC, reinforcing elements, rezoning, and PPATH should deal more reliably with difficult cases for wedges, degenerate brick elements, and other extreme geometric situations. (45410) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201216 regarding harmonic analyses (ANTYPE,HARM) that include the TB,ELASTIC material model with undefined material parameters, has been included in this Service Pack. (46441)
13
ANSYS Structural Products Prior to this release, when the command RESCONTROL,DEFINE,LAST,LAST was used to write the restart files and the analysis failed to converge in the last substep of the last load step, a subsequent restart using the last possibly converged restart files would also fail to converge. This is corrected in the current release. (46694) Simulations of enforced motion in a spring-mass model where the spring is defined as a 1D spring (UX degree of freedom) were returning incorrect results for UY. This has been corrected. (46773) The problem of occasional aborts when running on Windows systems due to third-party software locking the ANSYS simulation files has been corrected. (46924) File copy and file move operations now function correctly when running Distributed ANSYS in a shared directory using Universal Naming Convention pathnames on a Windows platform. (47017) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201302, regarding commands not acting on the selected nodal set following an NSLL or NLSK command (select nodes based on the selected lines or keypoints respectively), has been included in this Service Pack. (47143) The pressure load stiffness matrix due to fluid penetration loading has been revised to improve solution convergence when the model includes CONTA172 or CONTA174 elements with dropped mid-side nodes. (47661) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201227, regarding the PCG iterative solver when using the MSAVE option, which may be turned on by default in some situations, providing an incorrect solution when non-uniform temperatures are applied as tabular loads, has been included in this Service Pack. (48931) Handling of constraint equations in thermal transient analyses that use the QAUSI option (THOPT,QUASI) has been improved in this release. (48972) A correction to DDAM spectrum analysis prevents this analysis type from encountering a fatal error when contact elements (CONTA171 to CONTA177) are present in the model. (49750) Enforced motion (DVAL,,ACC,,,ON) and the large mass approach in harmonic analysis now return consistent results. (49768)
14
Mechanical APDL The stress results from SHELL281 elements with KEYOPT(1) = 2 were not properly calculated in a coordinate system other than the element coordinate system. This behavior has been fixed. (50027) Buckling analysis using the subspace iteration method (BUCOPT,SUBSP) and modal analysis using the unsymmetric or damped methods (MODOPT,UNSYM or MODOPT,DAMP) have been improved when the solver runs in out-of-core (or partially out-of-core) mode. Prior this correction, the analysis could stop or hang when the scratch (disk) space became full and that disk space was not allocated in the current working directory. (50054) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201301, regarding a scenario where the thermal-electric contact (modeled through CONTA171, CONTA172, CONTA173, CONTA174, CONTA175 with KEYOPT(1)=3 or 4) conducts electric current and heat when the contact is open, has been included in this Service Pack. (50196) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201304, regarding a scenario where stress results from /POST1 load case operations (LCOPER) involving any load case files (LCWRITE) will be incorrect for any 3-D shell elements (SHELL63, SHELL181, SHELL281, or SOLSH190), 2-D axisymmetric shells (SHELL208 or SHELL209), or 3-D layered solid elements (SOLID185 or SOLID186) under specific conditions, has been included in this Service Pack. (50235) Brake squeal analyses using node-to-surface contact elements (CONAT175) in conjunction with a ramped friction coefficient now work as expected. This correction prevents the analysis from encountering a segmentation error. (50284) A correction was made to the RESP command for acceleration input and absolute acceleration spectrum output. Previously, the averaging of the acceleration was incorrect, which could lead to incorrect spectrum values at low frequencies. (50405) When using Distributed ANSYS, the sparse solver would occasionally report error messages involving error code 19. This has been corrected. (50705) A correction was made to eliminate program aborts caused by the IC command and the ICCG solver being used in the same simulation. (50910) The CBDOF command can now be used when .RST and .DB files do not exist or are not consistent. This behavior is consistent with version 12.1 and older. (51035)
15
ANSYS Structural Products The algorithm for the Anand model uses an internal scaling based on one of the material parameters. In some cases this scaling degraded the convergence behavior of the algorithm. Now the algorithm scaling is only performed if the material parameter is in an acceptable range and the scaling will aid in convergence of the Anand model. (51164) In cyclic symmetry modal Jobname.RST files, cumulative result set numbering is not sequential. This prohibited reading the results file by cumulative number using the user programmable ResRd routines. The ResRdSolBegin routine now has an option to locate a result set by set number. (51260) For static or harmonic cyclic analysis, the tolerance for determining if a Fourier contribution of a load contributes to the response is now saved and resumed. As a consequence, when using SAVE/RESUME or CDWRITE/CDREAD, only the contributing harmonic indices are calculated based on the tolerance. (51787) Linear perturbation buckling analysis with MPC-based rigid surface constraints no longer generates a segment violation error. (51835) Mechanical APDL now correctly reports contact results during the expansion pass for contact pairs built inside a substructure. (52599) When using Distributed ANSYS, the problem of occasional aborts for simulations involving unsymmetric matrices along with constraint and/or coupling equations has been corrected. (53005) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 200921R1, where displacements are incorrectly transformed to the global Cartesian coordinate system in PowerGraphics (/GRAPHICS,POWER [default]) displacement plots (PNSOL,U) when postprocessing (/POST1) a spectrum analysis (ANTYPE,SPECTRUM), has been included in this Service Pack. (53589) A correction to the MODCONT command eliminates the occurrence of incorrect results being reported from a modal analysis after the MODCONT,ON,ON command is issued. (53623) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201306, where material models specified using the TB,ELASTIC or TB,CTE commands that are functions of user field variables (TBFIELD) produce incorrect results with elements SOLID186, SHELL208 and SHELL209 when used in combination with layered sections (SECTTYPE,SHELL), has been included in this Service Pack. (54064)
16
AUTODYN For shape memory alloy material model (TB,SMA), equivalent transformation strain as a ratio of maximum transformation strain is now available as an output variable of nonlinear record (NL:EPEQ) for the memory effect option (MEFF). It was previously only available for the superelasticity option (SUPE). (54156) Linear perturbation modal analyses that employ the userinter.F subroutine to include user-defined contact interactions now work as expected. This correction prevents the analysis from encountering a warning about element result items having the value INFINITY . (54165) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report 201307, regarding incorrect reduced mass matrices (and possibly reduced damping matrices) when performing a substructure generation pass with the sparse solver, has been included in this Service Pack. (54526) The problem of the Jobname.MODE file from a modal analysis being corrupted when the model contains superelements and a subsequent mode superposition PSD analysis is performed has been corrected. (55164)
6.2.2. Documentation Corrections

The following statement is added to the discussion of performing a linear perturbation eigenvalue buckling analysis, 9.2.4.3 Second Phase Eigenvalue Buckling Analysis, in the Mechanical APDL Structural Analysis Guide: "In a linear perturbation eigenvalue buckling analysis, the perturbation load {Fperturbed} does not include external loads introduced by contact gaps or penetrations, even if these loads were applied in the prior static or transient load steps. (46606)
6.3. AUTODYN

The general Euler-Lagrange coupling has been improved to eliminate the possibility of aborts when an outflow boundary is uncovered again after initially being fully covered. (46358)
17
ANSYS Structural Products The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report AD201204, regarding incorrect density in the refined mesh when a structured Lagrangian Solid mesh containing a compacting material is refined at a restart cycle, has been included in this Service Pack. (47799) The rigid Euler-Lagrange coupling has been improved to eliminate the possibility of aborts when the analysis model contains eroded elements at the start of the analysis. (48089) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report AD201301, regarding incorrect stress state transfer when an explicit analysis model is pre-stressed from a Structural Static analysis using the Material State option, has been included in this Service Pack. (49406) The results file from an implicit analysis is now read correctly when more than 1000 iterations are present in the results file. (50099) The filling of Multi-Material Eulerian parts with unstructured parts has been enhanced to give the correct filling when the unstructured part has partially been eroded. (52634)
6.4. AQWA

The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report AQWA201203, regarding an incorrect initial position for a Workbench Hydrodynamic Time History analysis when a line break is specified and Program Controlled starting position is selected, has been included in this Service Pack. (47006) The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report AQWA201204, regarding models with multiple structures, where the added mass sub-matrix of the first structure defined by user_force.dll is incorrectly added to the diagonal sub-matrices of all the structures, has been included in this Service Pack.

7.1. FLUENT

The correction for the error described in Class3 Error Report FLUENT2012-08, regarding erroneous Static Temperature and Total Temperature fields for mass flow inlet BC for Axisymmetric cases with swirl when boundary conditions are specified in Absolute frame, has been included in this Service Pack. (41461) A bug causing divergence when using the Matching option for a non-conformal interface has been fixed. (43345) Fluent no longer fails in METIS partitioner due to repeated partitioning that can occur in dynamic mesh cases or systems coupling cases.
