Versions 3.4.*

Version 3.4.0

The new version of the library is issued 2009/05/24.

• Addition of new layers corresponding to groups of layers in Results keys. (For extraction operations.) Similarly, one adds one new sub-layer for extractions.
• A few modification of interpretation of element properties when elements are read into a SamcefDb object. The modified method for reading Samcef banque files should be more reliable.
• Correction of bugs in the conversion of Boolean variables in COM component.
• Addition of methods for XDB random access in NastranDb class.

The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library and a few errors in the manual have been corrected.

Moreover, excel examples using COM component have been improved. In particular, one added an example illustrating random access to XDB results. Also small ruby examples illustrating the use of random access have been added.

Version 3.4.1

The new version of the library is issued 2009/06/07.

• Addition of a memory buffer to XDB attachments.
• Addition of method “writeMsgOutputLine” to “Post” Module.
• Huge memory leak problems in the COM component have been solved.
• Correction of several problems related to String conversions in COM component.

The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library and a few errors in the manual have been corrected.

Version 3.4.2

The new version of the library is issued 2009/06/21.

• Correction of several bugs in the filtering on elements/nodes when Results are read on a given Group from a Nastran XDB file.
• A few bug corrections in the conversions of arguments in COM component.
• The reading of Nastran composite layered stress Results has been modified. Values are no longer produced in top and bottom skins of each ply.

The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library and a few errors in the manual have been corrected.

Moreover, a post-processing project in excel using COM component is presented. (See Chapter VII.4.)

Version 3.4.3

The new version of the library is issued 2009/07/12.

• Correction of a bug in the random access to XDB files. (When nodal values were read on a Group, the first node was skipped.)

The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library and a few errors in the manual have been corrected.

The excel post-processing project has been improved.

Version 3.4.4

The new version of the library is issued 2009/08/02.

• Correction of several bugs in the conversion of matrices in COM component.
• Correction of a bug in the conversion of Arrays of Boolean in COM component.
• Correction of a bug in the calculation of laminate finite element load response. (The bug resulted in several criteria not being calculated.)

The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library and a few errors in the manual have been corrected.

The excel post-processing project has been improved and several corrections have been done in the manual.

Also the presentation of the examples has been improved. One separates the examples with FeResPost ruby extension on one side, and with FeResPost component on the other side. The excel examples are presented in separate chapters.
