Note: if an enhancement or defect has not been added to the program, log an Service request for that enhancement. The more requests logged per an enhancement, the quicker the CAE development team will add that feature to the program.
The following enhancements and defects have already been requested:
============================================================
Corrected Version: TBD
Description:
For time history post processing plots, add feature to enable user to specify x-axis limit > 1 sec.
For a time history load case with ZPA option enabled, the full magnitude of force is applied in all the directions with a non-zero direction cosine.
Avoidance:
Uncheck the ZPA option and perform the analysis with higher frequency / number of modes.
Corrected Version: v.11.0 and higher
Corrected Version : TBD
Similar to Load> Fluid Transient and would call Load> Slug flow where User enters: Slug velocity, slug length, liquid density, starting node point, and ending node point of slug in fluid transient. Program generates TIH and THL files. Module would automatically calculate the slug load magnitude, create the time histories for bends and apply them accrodingly.
Program should block dynamic analysis if first analysis set not analyzed. There is an internal limitation of the program that the first static analysis set should always be selected for analysis if there is any dynamic analysis to be performed for the model. AutoPIPE historically had only 1 load set prior to 9.1.0, all of the definitions related to dynamic load cases etc used to be associated with this single load set. In the new system – this older load set is mapped to the first static analysis set.
Corrected Version: 9.6.0.10
