Release Notes
Version 9.4.2
Menus
• Case 12468
More row entries have been added to the Model->list panel, rather than being restricted to only 7
rows.
• Case 10654
The DOF field in the *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION keyword editor now includes a text
popup that provides a description of the various options.
Merge
• Case 13408
A default title is now given when merging models.
Mesh
• Case 13259
When offsetting shell elements using Tools->Mesh->offset, the option has been added so that the
original shells can be retained in the offset position, rather than just having the option to create new
shells in the offset position.
Model Build
• Case 13780
An oa_pref setting 'extensions_for_database_from_dir' has been added so that users can configure
the extension(s) of files to be considered by the function which makes an xml database from the
contents of a directory. The default is '.key;.k;.dyn'.
• Case 13775
‘Model build from csv file’ no longer aborts if the process fails for a particular load case. The process
will continue and should any fail, the user will be presented with a list when the build has completed.
• Case 12987
The function which creates a database from directories now has the option for relative or absolute
paths.
• Case 12096
A new ‘Model build from csv file’ type, PEDHEAD_ANGLE, is now included in PRIMER. This is
similar to the PEDHEAD type but permits the specification of an approach angle for individual
loadcases.
• Case 11945
PRIMER saves a temporary csv file prior to 'model build from csv' operations thus preserving any
changes that users may have made.
• Case 10848
PRIMER now allows the specification of an offset distance while building models using csv files. In
this case, the impactor will be moved back along the line of flight by a user-specified distance once
the build operation is complete.
• Case 7788
PRIMER now includes a PEDLEG_LOWER type for automated model builds. The Z coordinate is
specified globally for this type.
PEDLEG_UPPER is now available for positioning the upper legform.
