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 component 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
and ANSYS/LinearPlus
starting at Rev. 5.0A.
PC/THERMAL is equivalent to WS/THERMAL at Rev.
4.4A,
and ANSYS/THERMAL starting
at Rev. 5.0.
PREPPOST contains relevant errors the full ANSYS product,
shown for for included pre- and
postprocessing
functionality
PC/MAGNETIC is equivalent to ANSYS/Emag starting at
Rev. 5.0A
ANSYS [Registered Trademark] CLASS3 ERROR REPORT
ERROR NO: 96-21
KEYWORDS: TRANSIENT DAMPING MULTI-FIELD
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
Whenever a TEMP degree of freedom (DOF) exists in a full transient
analysis (ANTYPE, TRANS with TRNOPT,FULL) along with any structural DOFs,
any damping effects (ALPHAD, BETAD, or MP,DAMP) are ignored.
A TEMP DOF exists whenever a thermal element or a multi-field
element with a TEMP DOF activated (by KEYOPT) is defined (ET command).

SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
COMMENTS:
To include ALPHA and/or BETA damping, make sure the degree of
freedom label TEMP is not present in the analysis. The ETLIST command
lists the active DOFs.

ERROR NO: 96-22
KEYWORDS: KGEN KSYM KTRA KSEL KSLL KSLN
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
If a keypoint generation operation (copy - KGEN, reflect - KSYMM, or
transfer - KTRA) redefines an existing keypoint that is unselected (KSEL,
KSLL, or KSLN) at the time of the operation, the solid model database
relationships may become unstable for future operations.

COMMENTS:
In the case which revealed this behavior, a subsequent keypoint
merge (NUMMRG,KP) erroneously merged widely separated keypoints as a
direct result of the database defects. Other possible implications of
the defective database may not be obvious.

imaginary data is in the database. Imaginary data is in the database if:
1. the program was not exited between solution and POST1;

DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
If all of the following are true:
1. LINK34, the convection link, is being used with KEYOPT(3) = 2
(define film coefficient using the SFE commands):
and 2. three or more load steps are being used;
and 3. the third or subsequent load steps ramp the film coefficient
(KBC, 0) [default] with at least two substeps per load step;
then the film coefficient in the third and subsequent load steps
erroneously ramp from the value at the end of the first load step, rather
than the previous load step. This causes all results after the second
load step to be incorrect.

COMMENTS:
If the database is saved and resumed again, the starting line number is

KEYWORDS: BOOLEAN SUBTRACT MESH
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
The Boolean subtract commands (xSBx, where x = L, A, V, or W) allow
the user to subtract meshed entities. This may result in invalid
topology cross references.
Further operations on these entities may produce unexpected results.
For example, undesirable mesh mismatches could occur between neighboring
entities if one of them is cleared and meshed again.

subtraction is performed after the entities are meshed, clear the mesh
and mesh the entities again.
COMMENTS:
1. The correction version does not allow Boolean subtract commands
on meshed entities.
2. Chapter 5 of ANSYS Modeling and Meshing Guide documents this
behavior.

1. An area in the global 2D plane (x,y) oriented such that its

elements (e.g., SHELL63, SHELL93, etc.):
and 2. SHELL elements are converted to PLANE elements (e.g., PLANE42,

SUBJECT: MATRIX50 SUPERELEMENTS COUPLED DEGREES OF FREEDOM
DESCRIPTION:
This QA Notice describes a potential Class3 error for which the full
scope has not yet been determined. When the full scope of this error is
determined, this QA Notice will be updated and re-issued along with a
Class3 Error Report, if required.
In a superelement (MATRIX50) use run, if a superelement has a degree
of freedom (DOF) that is coupled (CP, CPINTF commands) to a DOF on any
other element (including another superelement), and that second DOF is
given a nonzero imposed value [D command], the resulting solution may be
incorrect.
