Yes. I pounced on these with some anticipation when they first appeared
in Rev 5.4 as they seemed very suitable for the tasks I was then
undertaking. However they were so bug ridden in the early versions that
I gave up. I have been meaning to try again as I did have some feed
back from ANSYS Inc. that the problems I had reported had been fixed.
I'll let you know how I get on next time I have a suitable problem.
