New Features
The following new features are available in this release.
Combustion. You can now analyze combustion in both premixed and non-premixed gas-phase mixtures. Combustion is available for the Advanced module users only.
Improved accuracy in narrow channels. An analytical simulation model is now used for channels with low cell count across channel. As the result the same result accuracy with significantly less number of cells can be achieved. It can be especially useful for flat and circular channels typically found in heat exchangers.
Perforated plates. Perforated plates, previously available only for the Electronics module users, are now available for all users.
Cavitation for user-defined liquids. The new isothermal cavitation model allows to consider cavitation effects in any user-defined liquid.
Improved slip condition. Now you can specify a slip condition for each non-Newtonian liquid in the project or subdomain separately.
In-place edit for computational domain boundaries. Now you can dynamically adjust the computational domain size by clicking and dragging the arrow handles at the sides of the computational domain frame.
Improved Check Geometry. The new advanced checking procedure detects model components with an inappropriate geometry causing boolean operations failure.
Surface Parameters and Volume Parameters PropertyManager. The interface of the Surface Parameters and Volume Parameters dialogs was changed to the PropertyManager style providing more flexibility and better integration with Geometry Modeling tools.
In-place edit for Cut Plot and 3D Profile Plot. Now you can move a Cut Plot or 3D-Profile Plot reference plane by clicking and dragging the arrow handles in the center of the plot plane in the graphics area.
Improved probes. You can display non-interpolated value in probes. Probe parameter can now be inherited from the last added probe.
Particle study tutorial. In the new Oil Catch Can tutorial you can learn about the basic capabilities of the Particle Study result processing tool and see how to use it to simulate two-phase flows with liquid or solid particles.
Improved Geometry modeling. FloEFD Geometry Modeling is now based on a new Embedded SolidWorks® OEM engine (SolidWorks 2009 SP4.1). Among other improvements and enhancements are the support of Pro/ENGINEER® Wildfire 4.0 files and Microsoft Internet Explorer® 8.
