Version 7.5 releases

Version 7.5-8

Version 7.5-8 was finalised on 28 February 2008.

Available for x86 Windows and Linux. More information.

This is an interim release which adds a network licensing option to the original 7.5 release. A description of this new functionality is available from the "what's new?" page.

In addition the following bugs are fixed in this release:

ZENCR358 - problem linking user subroutines when using Visual Studio 2005 (Windows only)
ZENCR357 - error processing multiple sets of temperature data (Finas only)
ZENCR356 - when boundary shift is on the crack-blocks may rotate in an unexpected fashion as the crack advances
ZENCR355 - cannot process more than 99 increments in a load step when using zcr-jint or zcr-ctint (Abaqus only)
ZENCR354 - error in crack growth integration if there are more than 80 load systems defined
ZENCR353 - incorrect value of NUMBERcfnodes passed into some user subroutines
ZENCR352 - possible incorrectly positioned split node
ZENCR351 - incorrect temperatures may be used during crack growth integration (Abaqus and Ansys only)
ZENCR350 - the displacement based Ks may not always be reported in the "search table" results in the rep file
ZENCR349 - an analysis with time dependent crack growth may hang during crack growth calculations
ZENCR347 - problem with 3dmesh utility for the Finas interface
ZENCR346 - problem with the -e command line option for using an existing Zencrack executable

Version 7.5

Version 7.5 was finalised on 12 July 2007.

A full list of new functionality is available from the "what's new?" page.

The following bugs are fixed in this release:

ZENCR345 - Secondary data passed to user subroutines is incorrect for 8 noded models
ZENCR344 - Displacement based SIFs may be inaccurate for 8 noded meshes with curved crack fronts
ZENCR343 - Problem with temperature interpolation output (MSC.Marc interface only)
ZENCR342 - Problem with processing some uncracked mesh data (MSC.Marc interface only)
ZENCR341 - Array allocation error if temperatures are defined on a node set (MSC.Marc interface only)
ZENCR340 - PROCESS utility reports zero values for time in a time-dependent analysis
ZENCR339 - Transfer status of a crack front may be incorrect
ZENCR338 - Potential connectivity format problem in wide data output (Finas interface only)
ZENCR337 - Numerical integration can appear to hang
ZENCR336 - Update of boundary constraints can be slow
ZENCR335 - Fortran error due to deltau.val being read-only (Abaqus and MSC.Marc interfaces only)
ZENCR334 - Data on the REMOTE TRANSFER keyword is not read correctly
ZENCR333 - Using a user defined crack front may result in a mapping error
