Apex 2021.3 and Nastran 2020 compatibility

ISD
Just installed Apex 2021.3 and try tu run external on nastran 2020 a previous model with bonded contact.
The new Apex is now tailored for nastran 2021.3 and the parameter on the BCONTACT CARD aren't any more "MASTERS" and "SLAVES" but are "PRIMARY" and "SECNDRY".
So a model exported from APEX 2021.3 could not run on previous Nastran version, except if you edit the bdf and change manually the two words!!!

    @Stefano Pelizza​ Another example of rampant woke-ism! You have two choices: stay racist and use MSC Nastran 2020 or become "progressive" and edit your model by hand Joy See, it was an important change in the code as every MSC Nastran user was lead to believe that slavery was good because of Glue Joints... Good to see our dollars being put to good use!
     
    Dear MSC/Hexagon, instead of wasting resources for BS virtue signaling endeavors, why not assign these resources to fix the countless bugs or add basic functionality that APEX is still lacking (the list is long)? And more importantly, put your money (instead of ours) where your mouth is and stop selling your products to countries that still have slavery in their society. I know, this is a lot of revenue that would go missing, but that's the price to pay for having ethics and principles, not just the appearance of it Wink
