Dear Class3 Error Recipient:
Enclosed you will find ANSYS Class3 Error Reports 95-30, 95-31, 95-
32, 95-33, 95-34, 95-35, and 95-36 as well as 95-07 R1.
Class3 Error Report 95-07 R1 has been re-issued to include a
workaround.
Also included in this mailing are two ANSYS QA Notices, QA95-05 and

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:
5.0A-10
major revision level special version identifier
minor revision level correction level
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.
PCTHERMAL 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

ERROR NO: 95-30
KEYWORDS: GUI MAGNETICS POST1 MECHANICAL TORQUE
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
The LCSYS and RADTOL fields of the TORQC2D command macro are
reversed when using the TORQC2D dialog box in the Graphical User
Interface (GUI). This could cause incorrect calculation of the torque.
The dialog box for the TORQC2D command macro is found in the following
menu path: Main Menu - General Postproc - Magnetic Calcs - Circular
Torque.

ERROR NO: 95-31
KEYWORDS: ENTITY RANGE NEGATIVE INCREMENT BOUNDARY
CONDITIONS
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
For commands that permit specifying an entity number range with an
increment (e.g. NODE, NEND, NINC), if a negative value is used for the
increment then the command will not operate on the correct entity
numbers. This can result in various items being incorrect (see comment).
FIRST INCORRECT VERSION(S):*_/ CORRECTED IN:*_/
Rev. 5.1 Rev. 5.2
SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
Use positive increments when specifying entity number range.
COMMENTS:
This error has potentially non-obvious results when it is
encountered during application/deletion of items such as loads, boundary
conditions, master DOFs, coupled sets, gaps etc.

KEYWORDS: POST1 RSYS LOCAL CS
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
In POST1, the coordinate system for printout or display of results
(RSYS) will not be correctly used if:
1. The RSYS command specifies a user-defined coordinate system
(reference number greater than 10):
and 2. The user-defined system is subsequently re-defined (LOCAL, CS,
CLOCAL, CSKP, etc.);
and 3. The RSYS command is reissued to specify the re-defined system.
FIRST INCORRECT VERSION(S):*_/ CORRECTED IN:*_/

SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
Use a different coordinate system reference number redefining the
system and then use RSYS to activate the new coordinate system, or
specify a different coordinate system (e.g. RSYS.0) before reissuing the
RSYS command to specify the redefined system.
COMMENTS:
In the corrected version, the RSYS command must be reissued after
the user-defined coordinate system is changed

KEYWORDS: PRO/ENGINEER THERMAL STRESS MULTI CONSTRAINT CASES
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
Results from any thermal/stress solution run from within the ANSYS-
Pro/ENGINEER environment will be incorrect if more than one constraint
case was defined and active.
FIRST INCORRECT VERSION(S):*_/ CORRECTED IN:*_/
ANSYS-Pro/Engineer Interface 9345 ANSYS-Pro/Engineer Interface 9526
SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
Select the proper constraint case via the "Sel Cons Case" item under
the "Run Study" menu.
COMMENTS:
The ANSYS/ProFEA User's Guide states that a thermal/stress analysis
will solve only the first constraint case and ignore the remaining cases.
However, if more than one constraint case was defined and active
(default), the ANSYS solver will use a combination of all thermal
constraint cases and the last structural case.

COMMENTS:
The thermal expansion reference temperature may be specified in the

SUBJECT: POST1 RSYS LARGE DEFLECTION PRNSOL PRESOL
DESCRIPTION:
In POST1, for a large deflection analysis (NLGEOM,ON) the element
stress and strain results displayed by the PRNSOL and PRESOL commands
should state that rigid body rotations are included when rotation of the
data is requested (RSYS). Instead the output header implies that the
stress-strain results are in the requested coordinate system.
Note that this is documented correctly in the Procedures Manual
(section 11.2.3); only the output header is incorrect when these
quantities are listed.

NOTICE NO: QA95-06
SUBJECT: SYSTEM FILES SIZE LIMIT
DESCRIPTION:
There is an ANSYS-imposed 8 gigabyte limit for the total size of an
ANSYS binary file. The limit is applicable to all files, but most likely
will be encountered on the .tri files. This affects:
A. all computers which use 32 bit integers (this includes all
computers which run ANSYS except those from Cray Computers)
or B. all computers when the files are specified as type external
(default).
WORKAROUND:
Use the PCG or JCG solver if possible (which do not use a .tri
file), or run on the Cray with the binary files specified as type
internal (/FTYPE,,INT).
COMMENTS:
Because most computers have a file size limit of 2 gigabytes, the 8
gigabyte ANSYS-imposed limit can usually be achieved only by using file
splitting on a .tri file (beta feature at Revisions 5.0A and 5.1). In
this case, the 8 gigabyte limit applies to the total size of the
individual .tri file pieces.
AFFECTED VERSIONS: Rev. 5.0 and beyond
