- Batch Meshing: when the Units were changed, wrong values might be stored in the .ansa_mpar file.
- The CFD mesh generation algorithm occasionally halted the session when minimum length was not specified.
- LS-DYNA: an empty line was added in the exported MAT_ADD_ERROSION material data.
- OPEN FOAM: SETs of polyhedral elements were written as SETs of nodes.
- STAR: Baffles and Internal Walls were wrongly changing their type during output.
