BETA-CAE Systems 20.1.5 | 2.1 Gb
BETA CAE Systems announces the 20.1.5 release for ANSA/EPILYSIS/META and KOMVOS, hosting numerous fixes in recently detected issues.
Known issues resolved in ANSA
CAD Import/Export
Several cases, related to reading CAD formats, have been successfully combatted, as follows:
- Upon reading Neutral files using CoreTechnologie libraries, PID from Layers would not be correctly generated.
- Referencing CATIA Translators, 3D Point entities would be erroneously disregarded, when "Read features" mode was activated.
- When using ANSA Translator, the import of STEP files was susceptible to missing unit changes, encountered in assemblies designed in mixed units.
Compare
Time required for the creation of the Compare Report and the size of the generated METADBs are now significantly reduced.
Indicatively, in small models of ∼40 parts, the execution time has been reduced from ∼12min to ∼3min and the generated METADBs size from ∼400MB to ∼9MB. In large models of ∼400 parts, the reduction is even more impressive in the generated METADBs size, from an excess of 15GB to less than 100MB, executed in ∼47min in total.
FE Representations
The realization of SPIDER2 Representation could fail in case of nearby attached solids, whereas the treatment of non-circular BOLT holes would not be successfully applied.
Volume Mesh
Unexpected termination could occur when the function Structured Mesh > Extrude [Revolute] produced more than one volumes, according to connectivity, PID, or part of the source area.
Checking Mesh [Void Areas], areas at locations of hanging edge between a warped quad shell/facet and the two corresponding tria shells/facets are not identified as Void Areas anymore.
Deck Tools
Unexpected termination could occur upon Units Conversion in a database containing 3D Points.
Safety
Differences between CNCAP and KNCAP with EuroNCAP are now taken into account for Car Marking in the Pedestrian tool.
Morph
The robustness of Direct Morphing DFM functionality has been fortified, in cases of geometry with poor underlying surface quality.
Known issues resolved in EPILYSIS
General
Unexpected termination could occur when GPSTRESS was requested on fluid elements upon Output, and when a DRESP2 would reference a DRESP2 with higher ID in SOL200.
Known issues resolved in META
Decks – Fluent
Reading times of Fluent .dat result files have been significantly improved and META can now read multiple states of .h5 format for transient analysis. Furthermore, META is no longer terminating while reading "Volume Fraction" scalar results of Fluent .cdat files.
Decks – TAITherm
META would unexpectedly terminate, upon auto-detection of TAITherm files.
NVH Calculators – FRF Assembly
In certain cases where Linear Combination nodes were used as responses, calculations could be incorrect since v20.1.0, depending on the included loadcases.
Project Files & METADB
After loading a Project File, META displayed the list of all available results, besides the ones saved. In addition, Set IDs were not successfully saved in Project Files.
File Export
Unexpected termination could occur when exporting in 3DXML format.
User Toolbars
In the Crash & Safety domain, Occupant Injury Criteria Toolbar now efficiently offers C-NCAP 2021 Rating, whereas Haigh Diagram was not successfully created for user created states, under the respective Haigh Diagram Toolbar.
Enhancements and known issues resolved in KOMVOS
Input Model Definition
Input Model Definition would not work for CATProduct files, ProE files or JT format trees.

Compatibility and Supported Platforms
ANSA files saved by all the first and second point releases of a major version are compatible to each other. New major versions can read files saved by previous ones but not vice versa.
META Project files saved from version 20.1.5 are compatible and can be opened by META version 16.0.0 or later. To be readable by META versions earlier than v16.0.0, they have to be saved selecting the option "Version 16.0.0" or "Version <16.0.0".
Support for Mac OS has been discontinued.Support for 32-bit platform has been discontinued for all operating systems.

BETA delivers a portfolio that is relevant to the engineers’ problems and enables accelerated performance and quality improvement, from the individual user, up to a corporate level.
As products today become more complex with more variations and advanced performance requirements, organizations strive to meet market demand for quality and improve the effectiveness of their processes. In these efforts, they employ engineering simulation more and more, making it a central point in product design and development to reduce time to market, increase product quality, and understand better the behavior of the numerous product designs.
New developments and capabilities in engineering simulation promise not only to tackle existing industry requirements and bottlenecks but also form the building blocks for new concepts that will speed up the evolution of current processes in product design and development. However, to do so these new solutions and developments must be relevant to current engineering problems and requirements while avoid adding further complexity.
To develop such solutions, simulation software providers should be aligned with customers and work closely with them to give answers to their needs beyond buzzwords. In this notion, and in partnership and continuous dialogue with the engineering world, BETA delivers a portfolio that is relevant to the engineers’ problems and enables accelerated performance and quality improvement, from the individual user, up to a corporate level.
The advanced Simulation Data and Process management with KOMVOS and SPDRM, the versatile and powerful modeling with ANSA, the engagement of the freshly developed solver EPILYSIS, and the high-performance post-processing and visualization with META, have become the trusted core of simulation by the most demanding sectors.
