Known Limitations for Include File Path
  • Include paths in the Include Browser will be displayed with respect to the master file directory. Integrity of the include paths will be maintained on import and export.
  • Note: If you plan to add a new include file, you have to make sure that the include path is defined with respect to the master file directory.

Altair HyperView

Enhancements
  • Reading of ADVC into HyperView from multiple sub-folders is now supported.
Resolved Issues
  • Incorrect calculation of vonMises strain from strain tensor output.
