LUCERNE, Switzerland, Mar 27, 2024 – BETA CAE Systems announces the release of SPDRM v1.9.3. This version delivers a number of enhancements and fixes to the users of the most advanced Simulation Process Data and Resources Management software.

The most important enhancements and fixes are listed below.

Enhancements and known issues resolved

Enhancements

Data Tree

It is now possible to add Reports under Subsystems, to hold the results of Subsystem verification runs.

Process Design / Execution

The messages printed in output window during the execution of an application are now captured in a text file in the Node Execution directory. The name of this file is stored under the variable _appLogFile in the post run script of Registered Application and Observer Nodes.

Process Observer / HPC submission

From now on, a job will appear in the Submitted Jobs list immediately after the assignment of the job id to the built-in variable _correlationId. From that moment and until the first job status update that will take place through process.updateObservableJobs, this job will appear with status “Dispatched“. Thus, the typical sequence of job status values becomes: Dispatched -> Pending -> Running -> Finished.

Script API

The new script function process.getObservableJobsOfDMObjects returns information on the observable jobs that are associated to the given list of run ids. This information includes the correlation id, the job status, the observer node id and all other job attributes available in the “Submitted HPC Jobs” window.

The contents of a compound RLI (e.g. Loadcase_Template) can now be retrieved using the dm.getDMItemContents function.

Known issues resolved

Data Tree

Upon export of a compound Library item that contained adapted base modules (e.g. Loadcase_Template), the corresponding un-adapted base modules would not be exported.

Data Model

DM Object’s property generation rules, that would retrieve values from properties of containing RLIs, would not be evaluated correctly.

For more details about the new software features, enhancements and corrections please, refer to the Release Notes document.

Documentation Updates

Updated Documents

Updated User Guides and Automation Guides (Scripting / REST API).

Supported Platforms and System Requirements
