New Features
- Export Optimus New export for Optimus added. All parameters and their scope structure will be exported to a XML file which is readable by Optimus.
- Breps Improved 3d overlay of breps in edit mode.
- Breps Created unique names for surfaces and curves in breps for several exports.
- Design Engine Added getCurrentRunResultTable command which returns the DesignResultsTable of the current run (for pre-/postprocessing steps, e.g. exporting of the table directly after a run)
- Image Browser Added possibility to create an animated GIF from the Image Browser
- New Sample Added a basic example for an intake port
- Offset Curve Involve thickness factor for general curves now if a thickness function is set. So far, only surface curves have taken this into account.
- Propeller Blade Added new sample that focuses on robust hub fillet generation and use of offset curve.
- Software Connector You can now select more than one input file at a time from the dialog where connectors can be connected to each other.
- Sample Impeller 3D Profile Added a new and boiled-down sample that demonstrates how thickness is applied to a given camber surface
- Scaling Added option to set an origin that is used as reference location
- String Split Added a new command split() for strings that splits a single string into a string list in order to access the single items. Used in feature definitions to import table data such as *.csv.
Changes
- Blade Blades now use skinning as default representation.
- Curve Position When selecting a curve and creating a point, the result is put into the curve scope now.
- Design Results Table All header information of a table are now hidden by default. Please click onto the leftmost section of the horizontal header (the one with the little triangle icon) to make the header information visible again.
- Dakota Global Optimization Slight changes to the template input file.
- Dakota Template MOGA Modified some of the keywords to follow the default settings, and fixed number of generations keyword
- Design Viewer Changed icons to filter for a selection of designs to align it with the window button, and also the one for row activation
- DesignViewer Use the name of the current screenshot line as the pre-configured name for an animated GIF.
- Documentation Browser The documentation browser now scrolls to the first result when following a result on the search page.
- Feature Editor Allow to load a feature from a file by dropping the file into the editor.
- GIF Creation Allow to use images stored in the project to be used in animated GIFs
- Generic Blade Removed density at hub and tip region as being the default
- Generic Blade Added some more documentation about normalized rake and chord-argument requirement.
- Impeller Section Feature This feature now uses the latest offset curve functionality that applies a thickness function to a camber surface curve
- Offset Curve Introduced automatic mechanism to detect leading and trailing edge blend position by means of the input thickness distribution. Only polycurves are supported for this feature.
- Profiling Added option to export profiling data to CSV.
- Profiling Clicking an object in the profiling results window shows it in the tree, double clicking selects the object
- Software Connector It is now possible to add new blank input templates via the adding dialog. Just type the name of the file into the line editor of the dialog even if the file does not exist by now. In the same manner you can add result files which yet do not exist.
- SSH Resource Manager Added confirmations when deleting configuration objects (e.g. hosts, applications)
- Sample Centrifugal Impeller Slight changes to enable reverse option again.
- Software Connector Fixed old logos in export icons
- Surface Edit Mode Changed color of control polygon and we do not show surface in transparent mode any more
- Surface Position When selecting a surface and creating a point, the result is put into the surface scope now.
- Tutorials Minor changes in the two tutorials for geometry variation and for sduct with STAR-CCM+
