Versions 2.8.*

Version 2.8.0

The new version of the library is issued 2007/02/18.

• Correction of a bug in the re-definition of “+”, “-” and “*” operators of the Array class.
• Addition of sub-layer id field to the Result keys. Several classes and methods are affected by this modification:
  • Several methods of the “Result” class are modified: “getData”, “extractResultOnEntities”, “insert”, “each”, “each_key”.
  • One also added methods “extractResultOnSubLayers”, “extractSubLayers”.
  • Several methods of the ResKeyList class: “insert”, “each”. One also added “extractSubLayers” method.

  When possible, one tried to modify the methods in such a way that previous versions of ruby programs using FeResPost were not to be deeply modified. Most modified methods do not require a corresponding modification of the ruby programs. However, for “getData” and “each” methods of Result class, more care is necessary. To ease the migration of post-processings, the previous version of “getData” still exists but has been renamed “oldGetData”.

• It is now possible to read Samcef result codes 1???? and 2????. (Composite results on top and bottom surfaces of plies.) This is related to the addition of a sub-Layer ID in Result keys.
• Addition of methods “activateSamcefSubLayerResCodes” and “desactivateSamcefSubLayerResCodes” to the “Post” module to desactivate the reading of sub-layer result codes from Samcef finite element Results.
• Modifications in the importation of Nastran shell bending and curvature Results.

The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library.
