  • New Arion release - 2.5

    Submitted by jack on

    Version 2.5 (build  2024-542-gfb0dd178)  of the unstructured flow solver Arion is available for download.

     

    Major features/changes/fixes in this release:

    • Equilibrium system (similar to the capabilities available in the EZAir Suite of Codes), including compatible EOS and tables
    • Line search which can improve convergence
    • Faster parallel CRC (incompatible with older version checksum). The CRC allows partitioning files to be reused. Using older version checksum can be done using "-crc.version #arion-version" where version < 2.41 will trigger older version
    • Bug fixes and MPI-related improvements

    Please refer to the command-line help for additional information.
    Updated licenses will be available via regular distribution channels (upload/downoad facilities) 
    The relevant files are available for download from our website on the Arion downloads page.

  • New Fidelity Pointwise release - 2023.2

    Submitted by jack on

    New Pointwise V2023.2 is out. Pease contact us to obtain installation packages. 
    Since V2022 release FlexNet  license is required to run Pointwise.
    Improvements in Pointwise V18.5 include:

    • Upgraded supported version of several CAD formats: Catia V5, ProE/Creo (.prt, .asm), ProE (.neu), SolidWorks, Parasolid (x_t, xmt_txt, x_b) UG/NX (.prt)
    • Added ability to specify the AVMesh version to be used for Kestrel export.
    • Updated the JRE installers to use Java version 11.0.18+10.
    • Improvements were made to T-Rex performance by multi-threading several time- intensive operations and employing collision prediction. Collision prediction estimates the distance at which collisions are likely to occur and disables collision checks until the advancing front approaches the estimated collision distance. On average, these improvements result in a 2-3X speed up for the T-Rex portion of unstructured block initialization for large meshes. Collision prediction can be toggled on/off from the Advanced frame on the T-Rex tab and can be combined with Layer Subdivisions greater than 1 for an additional boost in speedup.
    • Database shell entities (faceted geometry) were augmented to use an optional compressed form. Compression can save up to 400% in memory usage and asimilar reduction in project file size. Loading project files with large compressed shell entities is also much faster.
    • Added new User Specified option for the Center parameter of Automatic Volume Mesh. When selected, the extents of the farfield are drawn relative to the prescribed center point.
    • A new Volume Condition examine metric which colors volume cells by their assigned CAE volume condition.
    • Assisted Quilt Assembly was updated to automatically detect boundary curves created using the Trim by Surfaces and Trim by Curves commands.
    • Automatic Surface Mesh was updated to scale the number of subdivisions for forced mapping filters using the prescribed refinement factor.

  • New EPPIC release - 3.1.0-110

    Submitted by ranlevy on

    Version 3.1.0 (build 110) of the EPPIC pre- and post-processing application is available for download.
    The focus of this current EPPIC release is on improving its efficiency and introducing additional post-processing tools:

    • Streamlines A new post-processing feature has been added to EZAir's post-processing module. Users can now visualize the flow's streamlines.
    • Unstructured BC Display Arion post-processing module can read CGNS plot files. This is a work-in-progress feature, currently only display of boundary surfaces can be created.

    The files are avalilable for download from our website in the EPPIC download secion.

    This release requires an RLM license, floating or node-locked, EPPIC RLM package is available for download along with EPPIC.
    License requests  should be sent to licenses@iscfdc.com, including type of the licnese and RLM hostid.
