ANSYS, Inc. Release Notes
The following incompatibilities with prior releases of are known to exist at release 14.0.
To continue use of an installed version of Release 13 with ANSYS Mechanical running HPC with HP-MPI, issue the following command to ensure compatibility: %AWP_ROOT140%\commonfiles\MPI\Platform\8.1.2\Windows\HPMPICOMPAT\hpmpicompat.bat
The command displays the "ANSYS 13.0 SP1 Help" dialog box.
The default behavior of the BUCOPT command, which controls buckling analysis options, has changed. Previously, the default behavior was to find the lowest-magnitude positive buckling modes. At Release 14.0, the default behavior is to find the lowest-magnitude negative and positive modes centered on 0.0.
The default behavior for creation of multiframe restart files
(Jobname.Xnnn) has
changed. If the maximum limit of 999 files is reached before the analysis
is complete, the Jobname.Xnnn files are now overwritten by default; the program resets
the .Xnnn file numbering back to 1 and continues
to write .Xnnn files. Previously, the analysis
would continue but no additional .Xnnn files
were written after Jobname.X999. See the MAXFILES description on the RESCONTROL command for more information.
Upon resuming a database via the RESUME command, any POST1 fatigue data is deleted. You must reenter the data before performing any fatigue calculations.
The accuracy of nodal coordinates in the .cdb file generated via the CDWRITE command has been increased. Although the .cdb files are forward- and backward-compatible between this release and prior releases, some third-party applications may encounter difficulty when reading the program-generated .cdb file.
The default for the maximum number of results sets (resmax) in the results file has been increased from 1000 to 10000. The data set indices (DSI, TIM, LSP) on the results file will therefore be larger compared to prior releases.
The global degree-of-freedom record (GDF) is now LONGINT rather than integer.
The substructure file access routine provided with the release (documented in the Programmer's Manual) has been upgraded to reflect this change, and can read current results files as well as files from prior releases.
