Automatic prompt for setting Rescale Transfer Manager Destination Folder when reading in results, if the destination is not set, now opens as it should
Fixed issue with out of date certificates included in the certifi package by defaulting to certificates from the operating system certificate store (requires Ansys Mechanical 2023 R2 or newer)
CloudConnect objects in the model tree have their generated data clear when the object is duplicated as part of an Analysis
Running a Modal linked to Response Spectrum now imports all needed result files from Rescale

Features

Copy the Rescale job’s APDL input file (ds.dat) to Solver Directory
Convergence plot image resized to better fit Mechanical window
When refreshing completed Rescale jobs, convergence data is downloaded and plotted

Remote point constraint equation spiders are shown for downloaded Rescale jobs
Show progress bar for file uploads
File upload speed to Rescale increased about 2x
Terminal windows opened by CloudConnect no longer steal focus from the current window
CloudConnect configuration settings are now automatically saved
Prestressed MSUP analysis support added
APDL macro files automatically included in Rescale job’s input archive
CloudConnect remembers currently set Rescale API region when setting the API Key
User created result files included in the result archive
Rescale On Demand licensing support
Ansys Mechanical 2023 R2 supported

Bugs

Rescale API key is now saved even if no CloudConnect objects exists in the model tree
All selected Rescale core types now show correctly after duplicating an Analysis on Workbench
Set AEC Pin button is now enabled when using Mixed licensing
Rescale job names set with CloudConnect can now include nordic characters (uses UTF-8 encoding)
HPC license type selection now works as intended thanks to a bug fixed by Ansys in 2023 R2
Fixed a path handling bug that occurred when opening an Ansys project with a newer Ansys version and starting a job before saving the project
