Known bugs in version 11.6b

OrcaFlex

  • The line setup wizard calculation can fail, reporting an unexpected program error, for line ends adjacent to a profiled section.
  • Line feeding restart analyses report an unexpected program error if they contain released mid-line connections at nodes which had been hauled in to become inactive in the parent simulation.
  • Default workspaces are not applied correctly when opening a simulation file using command line start up options, e.g. by double clicking on a simulation file in the file explorer. An additional 3D view window is created.
  • The shaded seabed grid and textures are not correctly aligned with the model coordinates. This means that they can sometimes appear to jump when moving around the model.
  • In shaded graphics views, bright pixels from the sky are sometimes visible underwater.
  • Polygons that are co-planar with the shaded sea surface can Z-fight, causing flickering at the boundary.
  • Frequency domain replays which include a shape fail with an unexpected program error.
  • Calculations are incorrectly blocked for models with user defined results whose units include non-placeholder components.
  • OrcaFlex becomes unresponsive when variable data form profile graphs are simultaneously opened from both the main model and a library model.
  • Opening and closing library files with modeless data forms open can cause an unexpected program error.
