REV NO: REV 506.001

DATE: May 15, 1997

Discovered By: Eric Magne

Description Of Problem

The last fix in rev5.05 did not completely fix the pressures.

REV NO: REV 506.009 DATE: June 03, 1997 Discovered By: Yvan Leipold Description Of Problem

If one uses "gaps" on rollers which are neither 0 nor "infinity" then they will not work properly.

REV NO: REV 506.010 DATE: June 03, 1997 Discovered By: Peter Lai Description Of Problem

By reporting added radii of gyration, one cannot tell if the added inertia for roll, pitch and yaw are negative. This is a check for irregular frequencies.

REV NO: REV 506.011 DATE: June 04, 1997 Discovered By: Yvan Leipold Description Of Problem

If one uses &instat -event with a pipe, the pipe solution may not be found within tolerance.

REV NO: REV 506.016 DATE: June 18, 1997 Discovered By: R. Nachlinger Description Of Problem

Two PC problems were induced in the last several fixes. They will normally not bother anyone, but prevent PCs from considering a pipe with a davit, or doing something silly in repositioning.

REV NO: REV 506.017 DATE: July 01, 1997 Discovered By: Barry Miller Description Of Problem

The stress contribution due to My and Mxy are not included in the plate stresses.

REV NO: REV 506.022 DATE: July 02, 1997 Discovered By: ETPM Description Of Problem

The inertia relief for systems with rigid connectors is not correctly done. This normally does not cause a problem unless one is trying to do something really strange like solving a problem with no motion.

REV NO: REV 506.023 DATE: July 02, 1997 Discovered By: ETPM Description Of Problem

If one computes hydrodynamic pressures before using generalized dofs, then uses gdof, and attempts lcase -rao, he will get a segment violation.

These are minor additions to the previous fixes which have to do with pipe connectors.

REV NO: REV 506.025 DATE: July 06, 1997 Discovered By: R. Nachlinger Description Of Problem

Program MAINTAIN does not properly change the executable on WINDOWS 95.

REV NO: REV 506.026 DATE: July 06, 1997 Discovered By: Tim Nolte Description Of Problem

REV NO: REV 506.027 DATE: July 07, 1997 Discovered By: Y. Leipold Description Of Problem

If one runs a long time domain simulation with a pipe, the results are not good. The moments and shears build up over time due to a small position error in the tensioner which increases over time.

REV NO: REV 506.028 DATE: July 09, 1997 Discovered By: Technip Description Of Problem

For a truselm defined via -conepy, the derivative is not correct close to zero.

REV NO: REV 506.032 DATE: July 27, 1997 Discovered By: R. Nachlinger Description Of Problem

Fix rev 5.06.031 induced a problem for beams without any intrinsic load attributes, but with applied loads. The applied loads would be lost in a structural analysis with lcase -apply.
