When running a 3D Flow analysis with a fiber-filled material, and the option to run a fiber orientation analysis selected, for some models the analysis may appear to stall. The problem manifests in the analysis running at normal speed up to a particular timestep and then taking several days to complete the next timestep, or failing completely. This problem does not arise unless the option to run a fiber orientation analysis is selected.

This hotfix fixes the problem so that all fiber orientation analyses can be completed within the standard analysis time.

This hotfix should only be applied to systems directly affected by the issue described above, as this was the only issue this hotfix was created to address.
