Important Announcement
From v23.0.0 and onwards, BETA License Manager version 7.0 or later is required.
Important Notes
1. Launching any application licensed by BETA CAE Systems (e.g. ANSA or META) from within any type of
Virtual Machine may (depending on the application’s version) disable the “sharing” of credits for this
application. Any instance of an application launched through a Virtual Machine may not share the same
license and will occupy the prescribed number of credits.
ANSA and META require a Hardware Accelerated OpenGL Graphics card with a minimum of 1GB of video
memory size.
2. The translation of CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 files does not require the installation of CATIA software.
3. The NXOpen-based translation of NX files requires a valid NX software installation on the same machine
where the translation is performed. On the other hand, the CT-based translation of NX files does not
require an NX software installation.
4. The translation of PTC Creo Parametric (Pro ENGINEER) files does not require the presence of PTC Creo
Parametric (Pro ENGINEER) software.
5. The translation of CATIA V5 files, Solidworks files*, PTC Creo Parametric (Pro ENGINEER) files and the
translation of JT files, they all require the presence of additional features inside the ANSA license file.
* The translation of Solidworks files requires the presence of the NEW_ANSA_CATIA_V5 feature inside
the ANSA license file.
6. The platform support for the CAD data translators also depends on the CAD library vendor or the
translation technology supplier.
7. ANSA v13.2.0 or later and the respective translators, under Windows, require the Microsoft Visual C++
2005 Redistributable and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable packages to be installed. Those
should be downloaded from Microsoft’s web site.
8. Features are subject to change without notice.
9. From version 15.1.0 and onwards the 32bit executable files for ANSA, META and translators are
discontinued for Linux and Mac platforms. In case the use of older versions of ANSA and META are
required, please do not hesitate to contact us.
