New Features for 2018

The following features are new with this release:

Solver API

User specified solidification

The Solver API capability for 3D filling and packing analyses allows control of the solidification of thermoplastic materials by a user routine. Normal solidification modelling is via a fixed temperature threshold called the Transition Temperature. You can now trigger solidification at a node according to conditions such as cooling rate or pressure. This complements the existing Solver API feature of user defined PVT routines, by allowing both the solidification condition in the flow calculations, and the phase transitions in the PVT model to be controlled consistently by user routines.

Synergy API

Geometry Modifications

You can now use the Synergy API to make geometry modifications to the CAD models.

Custom report enhancements

  • Text color- Use the option

    • OPTION,TEXTCOLOR, to change the text color on the slide.
    • OPTION,TITLECOLOR, to change the color on the slide title text.Available colors include black, blue, cyan, green, magenta, red, white, and yellow.
  • Slide title - Use the option OPTION,SHOWPAGETITLE, to show or hide the template slide title on relevant plots. can be Yes or No.

  • Result ID - You can now use the result id, instead of the plot name, to identify which plot to show. For example, instead of

    • Oneplot, "Temperature", Isometric, use
    • Oneplot, 1540, Isometric
