Known bugs in version 11.6a
OrcaFlex
- Shaded graphics does not implement anti-aliasing, as it does in previous versions.
- Importing a 3D model which includes lines or points fails with a shaded graphics error being reported. Lines or points in a 3D model should be ignored when imported into OrcaFlex.
- The drawing page of the general data form can sometimes display some empty view parameter controls that should remain hidden.
- Attempts to evaluate user defined results for constraints in frequency domain analyses fail with an unexpected program error.
- Shadows on the shaded sea surface render lighter instead of darker when the viewer is underwater.
- The OrcaFlex code to register user defined results (UDR) variables does not check the validity of the units string provided by the UDR. For some result types this leads to an unexpected program error being reported.
- On some computers, clicking a boolean cell in a grid control leads to an unexpected program error being reported. This error is benign and can safely be ignored.
OrcaWave
- The updating mechanism for graphs is broken. This means that as you switch between different headings, different DOFs, etc. the graphs do not update. As a workaround you can force an update by switching to a different page (e.g. model, mesh details, tables etc.) and then switch back to the graphs page.
- The mesh view settings panel can sometimes display incorrectly when working with the undocked mesh view if you have screens that use different scaling, i.e. DPI.
These bugs will be fixed in 11.6b.
