New Features

• Breps Created unique names for surfaces and curves in breps for several exports.
• Expression Editor Added option to create a parameter / design variable in editor context menu if editor is empty.
• Impeller Design Added new convenient features for impeller design, such as mean camber and 3D profile curve as well as a solid impeller mechanism.
• Import DXF Improved performance with lots of objects to import.
• Local Float Server Added a PID file option. Useful for managed services.
• PFF Export The PFF export from the file menu now also supports a selected PFF feature (manager) that has been created during the PFF import.
• Propeller Blade Added new sample that focuses on robust hub fillet generation and use of offset curve.
• Software Connector Added support for PCX image files as results
• Streamsection Enabled access to active streamline with new command getActiveStreamline which returns a NURBS curve based on the stacking axis radius.
• User Directory Setup Added new command line arguments to handle the user dir, also a temporary directory method was added. Check CAESES with the command line option -h.

Changes

• Centrifugal Impeller Modified the sample slightly for easier usage and added more documentation.
• Cylinder BRep Domain Changed existing cylinder brep feature so that colors can be assigned to the faces.
• Generic Blade Added some more documentation about normalized rake and chord-argument requirement.
• Impeller Design Modified 3D profile feature so that trailing edge can be controlled separately in terms of thickness, and added a feature for 3D camber curve generation
• Impeller Sample Adjusted the test feature and stream section of the camber design, so that it meets the camber surface.
• PFF Import Changed rewrite command to receive the export file path to avoid recursive dependency and accidentally overwriting input file
• PFF Import Manager can now be accessed through feature definitions as well. In addition, the resulting design curves are bsplines now so that direct design exploration is possible by modifying these bsplines.
• Poly Curve Changed handling of automatic orientation for more robustness.
• Tutorials Minor changes to the tutorials geometry variation, lackenby variation and fast mono hull.

Bugfixes

• Breps Fixed breps failing with collapsed surfaces as sources.
• Breps Fixed getEdgeFrom() / getTangentEdgeFrom() for subsequent operations.
• Curve Engines Fixed setting of enum values in curveengine editor.
• Design Engine Monitoring Fixed links to design details in result table.
• Design Results Table Fixed bug with regards to update of the design results table. If the table header was invisible (now the default) and automatic update of the table was disabled it did not showed all generated designs after the run had finished.
• Design Viewer Fixed error in sorting of designs with regards to the source table
• FScreenshotCollection Fixed screenshot settings not being exported correctly when exporting the current design.
• FScreenshotCollection Fixed ScreenshotCollection not restoring old settings of the 3DView after executing.
• FScreenshotCollection Fixed base name being ignored in execute command when the name contains certain characters.
• Feature Definition Fixed autocompletion of enum values for specific enum types.
• Feature Definitions Fixed nested feature definitions that are imported losing their type providers.
• Feature Editor Fixed syntax highlighting for function declarations with return type
• Feature Fixed error when trying to pass an FVector3 to a function using the list syntax (e.g. myFunction([0,1,2]))
• Features Fixed "Reload from file" button not working
• Features Fixed detach command not working in "Advanced Arguments Options"
• Features Fixed placeholders (t,u,v) sometimes not working inside Features
• File Viewer Fixed tool tip of tabs in the file viewer. In some cases (e.g. Dakota run) the tool tip was not updated properly when looking at different runs.
• Freeform Deformation Fixed potential crash when deleting operations.
• General Fixed crash when no 3DWindows are existing.
• Geometry Export Editor Fixed crash while closing project when a geometry export editor is open.
• Image Curve Fixed image curves resetting their domain to [0, 1] if domain range is smaller 1.e-12.
• Local Float Server Fixed bug for faulty node list in case of using non-commercial licenses.
• Meta Surface Fixed potential crash with problematic rail curves.
• Offset Curve Fixed crash for invalid LE and TE blend point settings.
• Offset Surface Improved offset surface when base surface has curvature discontinuities.
• PFF Import Changed footer information such that the last geometry tag is not included anymore, i.e. only the real part of the PFF footer is now taken.
• Report Server Fixed wrong HTTP content length header that caused problems on some browsers.
• Screenshot Collection Fixed screenshot collections being stored in the user configuration by default
• Software Connector Fixed computation not going out of date when input geometry is based on a FeatureDefinition and the input of the Feature changes.
• Software Connector Fixed features used in the geometry export being automatically updated when the input changes
• Transformation Fixed update behaviour of scaling and translation.
