Duplicate tie pair causes model to become unusable

Hi @Matej, I still have the problem with duplicate entries in the contact pair (tie) window. If I search for contact pairs a second time (with different parts visible), it may happen that a duplicate occurs (because some parts were visible in both searches, it’s my mistake). In this case PPM just appends -1 in the name and I can see it and delete it. If the master-slave pair is inverted, PPM does not recognizes this is the same pair. So I have to delete it manually. So far so good, although not the best. Yet, here comes the bug. If I decide to swap master-slave in the duplicate entry (because I don’t realize it’s a duplicate, of course), PPM will prompt a warning that the same entry already exists and, after that, the model becomes unusable. I have to dump the whole file. This is rather bad. I am unable to recover from there. Luckily, on some bad feeling, I saved with a different file name and so I can at least get back from where I started. The damaged file is too large to attach. Regards, Andrea
PS: Incidentally, I’d like to reiterate my request that color inversion, min max range setting and min/max label show at post-processing are made context specific. This is because every time I plot limits I usually want the red to go with low SF, unlike, say, Mises stress.

I have fixed the renaming bug. It will be available in the next version.
