Simulation changes
This is a selection of noteworthy items improved, added, or changed, with the 2026.0 release of Simulation Utility and/or Local Simulation.
Local Simulation solver
PAN-181 – Added *RM99 and *FIAT cards to simulate fixture bolts as springs instead of rigids and also place them at relative positions to the substrate rather than absolute ones |
PAN-310 – Added *SBDR card to simulate substrate removal over several time steps |
PAN-561 – Added *PVOX card to export optimized power results in BINVOX format |
PAN-563 – Added *CGPP card to make the *CGPT card generate its ghost part only based on part temperatures, ignoring support temperatures |
PAN-564 – Added *TDWL card to use imported over internally estimated toolpath timing data |
PAN-565 – Added *LSRM card to use more than one material in a moving-source-type simulation. Also added *OMAT card to include the material ID in the CASE file to make it available for visualization. |
PAN-566 – Cards *TCTP and *VCTR are no longer silently accepted in moving-source and in part-level simulations, respectively, and now throw an error when they don't match their simulation types. |
PAN-567 – Added *TCPS card to scale theoretical power values calculated with *TCTP into practical ranges |
