New Features

Blog Posts Access to blog posts is now included, directly within the documentation browser.
Brep Added option to use surface groups and image surface groups as sources in a brep.
Dakota Updated dakota to version 6.3.
Design Engine Editor Design variables, parameters and constraints can now additionally be added via drag & drop.
Design Engines Improved performance within design engine runs.
Docu Browser Added video section and link to the new video tutorials.
Export FSC If a design engine is selected while the FSC-export was triggered only the design variables set to this engine are exported.
Export TETIN A new TETIN export (*.tin) was added. All points, curves, surfaces and breps can be exported with names and colors. The colors correspond to the families in ICEM, so each color creates an element part.
FString Added comparison operators and lexical compare command.
FString Added optional boolean argument for FString::toDouble(), FString::toInt() and FString::toUInt() to check if conversion was successful.
FVector3Series Added option to split a FVector3Series at a specified angle between points.
Feature Definition Prevent the user setting an empty string as default value of arguments.
Feature Editor Added option to automatically fix the indentation on evaluate or apply.
Feature Editor Added "rename variable" functionality accessible through context menu
GeomTurbo Export Added feature definition in folder tools that can be used for exporting blades into the geomturbo format
Image Surface / Image Surface Group Added optional approximation resolution when using shift transformations.
Import Iges/Sat/Step/Parasolid Improved performance when importing lots of objects.
Import STL Solid names inside stl files are now used for trimeshes and trimesh sources.
Naca Curve Improved naca curve by means of performance and curvature continuity.
Object Tree Components in object tree show their values instead of expressions if possible.
Point Tangential to Curve Added new feature definition for the point menu, to create a point that is tangential to a given curve
Polycurve Added the possibility to smoothly join adjacent curves if they are numerically close to each other wrt to their tangents. Needed for robust fillet creation where slight deviations lead to problems.
Sensitivity Computation Enabled expressions for input file.
Shipflow Integration Updated definition to Shipflow version 6.1
Stream Section Added support for switching the reference for applying the beta angle. There is a new option available now at the stream section, including additional documentation to explain beta.
Sweep Transformation Improved sweep transformation by avoiding approximation of geometry.

Changes

Blade Moved blade analysis and inscribing circles into the pro edition.
Brep Validity is now not checked anymore by default, to have a higher performance of the operations. It can still be switched on by the user.
Circular Fillet Changed default index to be 0
Circular Fillet Fixed circular fillet feature which is now based on a different algorithm. Added a new nurbs curve command for this.
Color Editor Most used color tracking only tracks the usage during one session now.
Dakota Templates Allow the users to change the evaluation concurrency from within the GUI
Dakota Templates Added new template for SOGA (single objective genetic algorithm) method.
Design Engine Improved performance of result pooling.
Design Management When loading a project the user is asked whether the last used design should be loaded instead of the baseline design.
F*Series Added possibility to initialize typed FSeries types (e.g. FUnsignedSeries) using the objectlist syntax.
FScope The getContent command now returns the contained objects sorted by name.
Feature Surface Lofting from Sections Performance speed up
Help Menu Three direct links to tutorials, video tutorials and samples were added to the help menu.
Offset Curve Allow single side creation for asymmetric profiles based on surface curves. For asymmetric profiles in impeller design, two offset curves can be used now and combined e.g. in a polycurve.
Propeller Model Modified the existing model such that it now comes with a tip surface and hub fillets
Software Connector When a Software Connector gets deleted it will now automatically delete its Computation, Configuration and Definition as well.
Tutorial S-Duct with OpenFOAM Review and slight changes to tutorial.

Bugfixes

Blade Analysis Fixed problems that were introduced with the new geometry kernel. Any type of input surface is now supported.
Breps Fixed potential crash in FBrep::getSurface(index) with imported breps.
Chart View Fixed wrong scale for design column if statistic header is collapsed.
Color Editor Fixed most used color tracking increasing the usage count every time a color editor is opened.
Curve Engines Fixed createFeature command ignoring the current working scope.
DXF Export Fixed bug where curves/offsets could get exported with twisted coordinates. Also the positioning of labels is corrected.
Dakota Fixed constraints not being correctly transferred to dakota in surrogate models.
Design Assembler Fixed active state of a Design Variable getting lost when editing the values.
Design Engines Fixed result pool not working in non-GUI mode.
Design Viewer Fixed GIF creation not taking sorting into account.
Design Viewer Fixed filtered designs being included in exported animated GIF files
Documentation Tooltip Fixed bug where popup docu window could stay unclosable.
Export IGES/STEP/SAT Fixed image surface groups not being exported.
Expression editors Fixed values of expressions not being displayed automatically (for "safe" expressions).
FRotation Fixed rotations not being properly detached within features if created with rotation(degree, axis) creator.
FSpline Improved stability of curve generation process.
FString Fixed FString.split() by using a better regular expression.
FTableData Fixed calculation of maximal value not taking negative numbers into account.
Feature Definition Fixed crash in FFeatureDefinition.execTransient() when executed without GUI.
Feature Editor Fixed "extract argument" not working for basictypes
Features Fixed object editors of attributes of Features somtimes not showing a value.
Features Fixed getParent() command for nested features that are executed as commands.
Image Curve Fixed issues with reversed domains.
Installer Windows installer creates startmenu entries in all users profile if possible.
Meta Surface Fixed surface representation for sections based on polycurves.
Neptune/HullDes Offsets Connector Fixed missing newline in exported file.
Offset Curve Fixed bug which made problems for 3D profiles that are based on surface curves.
PDF Reports Fixed a bug where company logos with a large width were printed strangely in PDF files.
Path Handling Fixed $PROJECTDIR not being updated correctly when using the saveProjectAs command with a relative path.
Poly Surface Fixed problem when using a polysurface with surfaces that are created inside a persistent feature.
Project Conversation Fixed no network connection issue using local float license.
Result Tables Fixed command calcMaxValueCol() which did not work on negative values.
SSH Resource Manager Fixed display of job console output in the web interface if the output contains XML-Tags.
Sample Rectangular Volute Fixed tongue fillet where direction flipped due to critical changes in the geometry kernel.
Scopes Improved performance when changing scopes of multiple entities.
Screenshots When generating screenshots for existing designs the results of the last design were displayed once the generation process has finished. This is maybe confusing. Now the results of the current design (the one you are actually working in) are displayed after generating screenshots.
Sensitivity Computation fixed potential crash in sensitivity computation.
Show in tree Fixed "show in tree" for feature members.
Software Connector Fixed configuration editor style not matching common editor style.
Software Connector The results file editor didn't accept more than one value which calculates the average of a number of rows.
Software Connector Fixed potential crash when changing results file type.
Software Connector Fixed crash when changing an entry type created in template file.
Software Connector Fixed current results sometimes going out of date when opening the Software Connector interface.
Sweep Surface Fixed sweep surface with path from polycurve with automatic orientation.
Trimesh Fixed potential crash in trimesh edge request
XFLOW Import Fixed XML integrity check failing for XFlow 2015 files.
