The new version of the library is issued 2006/11/05.
Redefinition of keys for force and stress Results on Nastran CBEAM and CSHEAR elements.
Redefinition of “getData” method and addition of “getStrData” method to the Result class.
Deletion of “getStrData” method from the Result class.
“getData” method from the Result class has now optional arguments that allow to tune the type of values returned in the Array. The values corresponding to the element, the node, the layer and the coordinate system may now be of integer or string type.
The "feresPost.so" library build by the Makefile is now output in the "FeResPost.so" file. Also, the classes "CoordSys", "ResKeyList", "DataBase", "Group", "Result" and the module "Post" are defined under the new module "FeResPost". The ruby programs using the previous versions of FeResPost must be modified. More precisely, the line
require "feresPost"
in the previous versions must be replaced by the two following lines:
require "FeResPost"
include FeResPost
and the rest of the program may be left unchanged.
Addition of the “lamCS” coordinate system identifier in the “result::values” class. Also, the use of “lamCS”, “matCS” and “plyCS” parameters in the “modifyRefCoordSys” method of “Result” class has been modified.
Correction of a bug in the reading of stresses on Nastran solid elements. (The reference coordinate system was wrong.) Similar corrections for the reading of layered results.
Correction of bugs when reading Samcef beam forces and moments.
Addition of several methods allowing the manipulation of flags influencing the behaviour of “readDesFac” method in “DataBase” class. This has been done to correct a bug in Samcef. Actually, only the “ANGULAR_STRAIN_BUG” flag can be set to correct errors in the shear components of strain tensor.
Addition of the “generateElemAxesResults” method to “DataBase” class.
Addition of the “sgn” derivation method for scalar Results.
Addition of the “deriveVectorToVector” method for vectorial Results.
The modifications of the manual correspond to some of the modifications of the library.
