Altair HyperLife Weld Certification 2023 Release Notes

Ribbon Hints

Ribbon hints have been added to help identify tools that have multiple pick targets or open a secondary ribbon. They are small indicators that appear in the ribbon between a tool’s icon and label. The number of dots represents the number of pick targets in a tool, including some that are hidden until hovering over the tool.

• Application error while evaluating specific models.
• Inconsistent behavior of the Load Combination File (LCF) when running more than one step/increment.
• Derived subcase IDs created from LCF being blocked upon delete.
• Shear utilization in FKM unwelded evaluation.
• Stress projection in solid weld evaluation.

The following known issues will be addressed in the upcoming release as we continuously improve the performance of the software:

• Weld detection with Abaqus part instances.
• Load map issue when derived load cases and original load cases have the same IDs. A load combination file is encouraged in such scenarios.
• The progress bar is not shown for weld detection, applying regulation and evaluation operations. The issue is specific to the Linux operating system.
• Inconsistent behavior in evaluating B-welds with IEC specification.
