Known bugs in version 11.4d

OrcaFlex

  • When loading fatigue analysis data, saved in YAML text data format, the value specified in the file for number of thetas is ignored.
  • An access violation error may arise when performing a restart analysis with multibody groups. This occurs if the multibody group vessel objects do not use frequency dependent added mass and damping in the parent simulation, but then frequency dependent added mass and damping are used in the restart.
  • OrcaFlex’s change tracking mechanism sometimes fails to export the names of current data sets to a variation file, but only when the child model uses multiple current sets and the parent model does not.

These bugs will be fixed in 11.4e.

A full list of bugs fixed since 11.4a can be viewed in our documentation.
