ANSYS Revision Identifier Description
ANSYS revision identifiers consist of a major revision level, a
minor revision level, a correction level, and occasionally a special
version level. An example of how this is constructed is shown below:
Figure omitted.
Major revision level changes indicate that new features have been
added to the program and that some level of program architecture change
and/or file structure has occurred. Minor revision level changes also
indicate that new features have been added to the program, but files are
upwardly compatible. All known error fixes are included in both minor
and major revisions. Changes to the correction level indicate that it is
primarily an error correction release. Special version identifiers
indicate that one or more additional minor changes have been made to the
program, normally to circumvent an error. Special versions are not
general releases to all ANSYS licensees, since they typically represent
errors occurring only on one system, a subset of our customers who have
specific graphics devices, etc.
The ANSYS revision identifier(s) shown under "corrected in" on the
front side of this Class3 Error Report indicates the first possible
revision that could contain the correction. A major program change
needed to fix an error can dictate that the next minor or major revision
will contain the fix rather than the next correction level. For example,
when errors were being reported while Rev. 4.3A was the latest production
version, most Class3 error reports indicated that 4.3B was the "corrected
in" revision. Others requiring significant code restructuring were
reported as fixed in 4.4. Rev. 4.3B was never released, but Rev. 4.4
contained all error corrections noted as fixed in 4.3B.
An identifier indicated under "corrected in" does not guarantee that
a general release of that revision of ANSYS will occur. It does indicate
that the correction is known and implemented in the coding that would be
part of that general release.
Equivalent Product Identifiers
The ANSYS family of products occasionally undergoes name changes
between revisions and/or changes in the functionality of derived products
(such as ANSYS-PC/LINEAR). To minimize the potential for confusion in
these areas, the important product name equivalences (similar program
functionality and error content) are listed below.
ANSYS/ED contains all errors shown for the full ANSYS
product, starting
at Rev. 5.0, and
beyond, unless
otherwise noted.
PC/LINEAR is equivalent to WS/LINEAR at Rev.
4.4A,
and ANSYS/LINEAR
starting at Rev.
5.0.
PC/THERMAL is equivalent to WS/THERMAL at Rev.
4.4A,
and ANSYS/THERMAL
starting at Rev.
5.0.
PREPPOST contains relevant errors shown for the full ANSYS
product, for
included pre- and
postprocessing
functionality
ANSYS (Registered Trademark) CLASS3 ERROR REPORT
ERROR NO: 95-44
KEYWORDS: DOCU APDL CENTRX/Y/Z ELEMENT CENTROID
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
The get functions CENTRX(n), CENTRY(n), and CENTRZ(n) always return
the element centroid location in the global Cartesian system, but the
documentation in the Commands Manual implies that the location returned
is in the active coordinate system (CSYS).

COMMENTS:
The corresponding *GET command (*GET,Par,ELEM,n,CENT,X/Y/Z) does
return the centroid location in the active coordinate system.

the full ANSYS program is implied. For products not listed, this error
does not apply, but see the reverse side for equivalent product
designations.
Unless noted otherwise, this error report also applies to all revisions
after the first incorrect one and prior to the corrected revision. All
revisions after "corrected in" are corrected. Manual corrections are
included in on-line documentation as appropriate. Please see the reverse

ERROR NO: 95-45
KEYWORDS: PREP7 SOLID MODEL ASUM VSUM
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
ASUM of a sector of a "hollow" circular area and VSUM of a sector of
hollow cylindrical or spherical volumes with inner to outer radius ratio
of greater than .95 will calculate inaccurate areas/volumes. As the
ratio of inner to outer radius increases toward 1, the results will
deteriorate significantly.

ANSYS (Registered Trademark) CLASS3 ERROR REPORT
ERROR NO: 95-46
KEYWORDS: PSTRES SSTIF GUI
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
The PSTRES and SSTIF commands are functionally similar and if they
are used together only the last command is active.
When using the Analysis Options dialog box in the Graphical User
Interface (GUI), the SSTIF command has no effect because the PSTRES
command is executed subsequently, therefore turning off any effects of
the SSTIF command. The menu path is: Solution (right arrow) Analysis
Options.

Rev. 5.0 Procedures Manual Rev. 5.2 Procedures Manual
Rev. 5.1 (GUI) Rev. 5.2
SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
Use either the PSTRES command or SSTIF command. but not both. This
requires entering the SSTIF or PSTRES command after executing the
Analysis Options dialog box in the GUI.
