ANSYS, Inc. is now in the process of moving to a new database management system for business operations. During this transition we will be making Class3 Error Reports available to all customers. For customers who have not purchased maintenance this is an example of one of the services you could receive with the purchase of maintenance. A customer area now exists on the ANSYS HomePage (http://www.ansys.com). This customer area currently contains Class3 Error Reports, QA Notices and Class3 Error Report Summaries. To access it, pick "Customer Information Area" on the ANSYS HomePage. The username and password for accessing the Customer Information Area are as follows: username: customer password: ain1fm Note, to make it easy to remember, the password is an acronym "ANSYS is number 1 for me". Sincerely, ANSYS, Inc. William J. Bryan Quality Assurance Manager [Illegible Print] ANSYS Revision Identifier Description ANSYS revision identifiers consist of it 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 out 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 the full ANSYS errors shown for product, for included pre- and postprocessing functionality ANSYS[Registered Trademark] CLASS3 ERROR REPORT ERROR NO: 96-06 KEYWORDS: GRAPHICS POST1 PRNSOL PLNSOL DESCRIPTION OF ERROR: Printed and displayed principal strains are incorrect when PowerGraphics is turned on (/GRAPHICS,POWER or GUI POWERGRAPH button). Depending on the strain state, the values reported may be as much as 40% too high. Component strain displays are correct.

Release 2 ANSYS/LinearPlus Rev. 5.2 ANSYS/LinearPlus Release 5.3 SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION: Turn off PowerGraphics (/GRAPHICS,FULL) when printing or displaying principal strains.

FORM SASI-QA25 DEC 19, 1988 ANSYS[Registered Trademark] QA NOTICE NOTICE NO: QA96-03 KEYWORDS: MASS LUMPM.ON ELEMENT23,24,29,30,44,54,59,63 DESCRIPTION: Mass matrix lumping (accessed by LUMPM.ON), by its very nature, suppresses mass coupling between degrees of freedom. Therefore the following limitations and cautions exist. A. Lumping should not be used for FLUID29 or FLUID30 elements. (It is already not allowed for FLUID38 elements.) B. Lumping should not be used for BEAM44 elements when using member releases in the element UY or UZ directions. C. Lumping should not be used for PIPE59 elements when using 'added mass' on the outside of the pipe. In this case, the implied coupling exists when the element x-axis is not parallel to one of the three nodal axes. D. Lumping should not be used for BEAM23, BEAM24, BEAM44, or BEAM54 elements when used with explicitly defined or implied offsets. E. The effect of the implied mass offsets with warped SHELL63 elements is not considered by the lumping logic. Use LUMPM.OFF (default) for the above cases.
