New Features

BRep Edge Added new feature in the menu brep > more, to access the brep edges or the tangent edges.
Blade Intersection Added feature to create sectional data from trimesh (e.g. STL) data. For intersecting the given propeller or impeller geometry, either a cylinder is taken or a custom hub and shroud contour. Allows to generate 3D sections from discrete data which then can be used e.g. for fitting procedures.
Brep Operations Added edit option for colors.
Circles and Ellipses Added new features in the circle > more menu, to more easily solve typical 2D sketching tasks such as circular arcs etc. There is also a new sample available.
Colors for export Added optional custom name and custom ID attribute. These are used by specific exports.
Converge CFD Added new import for Converge CFD dat files.
Coons Patch Added new feature in the surface menu to create a coons patch while optionally interpolating the corner tangents. Helpful for creating coons patches based on curve networks.
Dakota Show a message in the console if the engine cannot start due to missing evaluations.
FFunction Added command getValue() with a list of variable values to FFunction.
FSC Script Added project units to the script file which is used e.g. for ANSYS Workbench apps.
Generic Curve Added check for NaN or Inf function values.
Gordon Surface Added feature to create a Gordon Surface from a set of 4 boundary curves or an input surface.
Gordon Surface Added new surface type to create a gordon surface from an input curve mesh.
Image Curve Trimming Added new features in the image curve menu (more) to trim input curves by means of other curves, point data and axes. There is also a new sample now available that illustrates these methods.
Image Curve Added a feature in the curve menu to obtain only a part of e.g. a polycurve using indices, where the split is done by using natural curve discontinuities.
Image Offset Group Render the start position of the sections for the image if this is also activated for the input section group
Interpolation Curve Added new interpolation methods to create better results for a broader range of point data.
Interpolation Curve Added possibility to provide tangent vectors for start and end position.
Line Added line by angle and length to the curves line menu.
Lofted Surface Added feature with more control for the start and end derivatives. Can be found in the surfaces "more" menu.
Points Added new point features to the point more menu to obtain the center of area and the circle center of a given curve.
Points Added a new point feature to the menu points > more, to calculate the shortest distance from a point to a surface. Returns the point on the surface as well as the uv-parameters and the calculated distance.
Result Parser Increased robustness of csv-result parsing for table creation.
Simplexer Added a new design engine based on repeated linearization of the objective function and constraints. This fast strategy is ideal for quickly finding feasible solutions to highly-constrained problems, or as an effective pre-processor to more advanced design engines.
Sobol Extended sobol algorithm to be used with more than 40 design variables. Available within the advanced optimization add-on.
Sweep Contour Added a feature which transforms a 2D contour that is given in the (X,Y) plane to a path. The transformed curve is then normal to the path direction. This can be used for various sweep tasks such as duct modeling. Added to the "more" menu of image curves.
Trimesh Added translation processor for colored patches which is a common use case e.g. for CONVERGE users (piston bowl movement).
Trimesh !Fixed arrangement of attributes in editor for mesh process (translate colored patches) and tsearch optimization algorithm.

Changes

ANSYS TurboGrid ACT App Updated ACT app and the corresponding blade export feature, to take care of the section orientations and start locations, as well as the project units.
ANSYS ACT App Updated general CAESES ACT app.
Brep Solid from Intersection Changed splitting behaviour from C1 to G1 continuity.
Circle Improved circle between 2 lines functionality for non-intersecting lines.
Circular Fillet Added the case of tangentially intersecting curves where a small linear curve is introduced to keep the parameterization.
Computation Fixed order of computation attributes (SHIPFLOW, Custom, Generic) and moved the application to the top of the editor.
Domain Box BRep Added labels to the box so that assigning colors is easier.
Export If nothing is selected, all objects are now exported instead of only the visible ones.
Features Features with type providers have the same icons as the provider.
Generic Curve Extended the feature Curve3DFrom2PlanarCurves so that arbitrary planes can be used for the input curves. Can be found in the curve menu > generic curve > more.
Interpolation Curve Sample Added the 3 different possibilities for interpolation curves using scalar angle values, and 3D vectors for start and end derivative settings.
Lofted Surface Feature Added the option to control the section interpolation via equidistant and smooth parameterization.
Pow Improved handling of problems with numerical accuracy.
Rendering Adjusted the default colors for surface, brep and trimesh, and tuned the triangle rendering mode. Switched off the point light to avoid heavy reflection.
Samples Updated the axial fan and propeller demo models.
Section Group Reverted dynamic resolution for sections from trimeshes due to geometrical problems.
Stream Section Added user information (warning) if hub or shroud contours have zero radii values.
Thickness Distribution Set default values for the simple thickness distribution feature that is located in the blade menu.
Trimesh Processors Added more readable labels to the processors when they show up in the object editor.
Tutorials Added new HTML tutorials for the help in the documentation browser.

Bugfixes

CAESES Startup Fixed issue where CAESES refused to start up.
Chart View Fixed design variables not shown in tables with designs from different runs.
Coons Patch Fixed a bug where in certain cases the points on the edge of the parametric space would be snapped to the origin (0,0,0).
Curve Rendering Fixed stipple pattern occasionally not being reset.
Dakota Fixed constraint handling in dakota output files.
Design Engine Editor Fixed a problem where upon first loading of a project, the table with design variables was too small to show all design variables.
Design Engines Fixed misleading dialog when pausing a design engine in order to close CAESES and resume the run at a later time.
Design Display Result Fixed a bug where switching between designs through the Display Result symbol (next to the design name) would reset the 3D view. This would occur once per design, when switching to it for the first time.
Export CONVERGE Fixed numerical problems with normal orientation.
Export Converge CFD Fixed possible endless recursion.
Export Converge CFD Fixed potential crash when zero triangles are exported.
Export STEP Fixed a crash in export of STEP, SAT and IGES files containing BREP surfaces for specific cases.
FCurve Fixed pseudo unitspeed parametrization.
GL Image Fixed potential crash when using a (invisible) brep in a glimage.
Generic Curve Fixed generic curves not propagating the user defined nurbs representation downstream.
Image Surface Fixed bug were reversed orientation was not propagated to derived image surfaces. This might introduce changes to existing projects.
Interpolation Curve Fixed tangent angle in y-plane
List Editor Fixed a bug where in some cases, a list of items in the object editor would be stuck jumping the bottom of the list (also when scrolling up).
List Editor Fixed a bug where the "show more" button for lists with more than 10 items would not correctly expand the list. Also prevented the list editor from scrolling to the bottom when an item was edited.
Lofted Surface Fixed a bug where in some cases, the derivative surfaces for the lofted surface were not applied properly. These derivative surfaces define the derivatives at the edges between which the lofted surface is spaned.
Mesh Processor Fixed postprocessor operations not being copied when duplicating a mesh.
Object Editor Fixed editor not being updated when dragging points in 3dview.
Object Editor Fixed "ghost editors" popping up from time to time.

Trimesh Fixed a bug causing negative postprocessing scaling values to not be taken into account.
run.csv Fixed additional colon.
