This release improves stability of the software. Some issues were fixed related to the gap model and the free surface model.

Important changes

• The Implicit new computational scheme is now renamed as Implicit, and the former Implicit scheme has
  been removed.

New features in Solver

The following new settings were added to the Advanced settings of Solver:

• The Matrix Solver, which can be used for computations in the Chemistry mass transfer model. Matrix Solver provides more stable development of solution at CFL>1 in simulations with large number of components (Substances) and large number of chemical reactions.
• The Skew scheme, which computes convective flows on faces of cells with taking into account the mass flow through edges of the cells. Use of Skew scheme essentially reduces the scheme diffusion for flows that substantially deviate from directions of Cartesian axes (that are particularly vortex-like flows). Meantime Skew scheme is being beta-tested, please inform This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you will find any problemms with this scheme.

Improvements

• When an Adaptation is created, if the Region has only one computational Subregion, this Subregion will automatically be added to conditions of the adaptation.
• Now it is not possible to connect from Pre-Postprocessor or Viewer to a Solver with another version
  number. This protects user's data from damage if a module with incorrect version number was launched.

If you have support acces, you can download release after authorization: resources and files.

“Capvidia attends SIMULIA Benelux RUM at Eindhoven during 23-24 November 2017. Wojtek Zietak, Service & Support Executive at Capvidia, will be presenting "Fluid Structure Interaction in a Beating Human Heart Model" which mainly consists of coupled FSI simulations tasks realized for the Living Heart Project leaded by Dassault Systèmes 

About SIMULIA Benelux RUM

On the 5th of October 2017, We made Bio-FSI Webinar with Dr. Deepanshu Sodhani at RWTH Aachen University. Thanks again to all audience for their time and Deepanshu Sodhani the cheerful presentation... For detailed information about the Project, you can view Project website.

The new release includes many changes that were implemented into the program as a feedback to 30 requests from users. So we hope that FlowVision 3.10.01 will be more user-friendly.

Here are just some of the requested changes in the program:

• Captions (legends) for palettes
• The boundary condition, which allows you to set a fixed profile of velocities
• Controls for customized displaying plots in the monitor window
• The status tab now contains additional fields: number of cells of the boundary layer grid, values of convective and surface of the time step, etc.
• Now you don’t have to install MPI if use of FlowVision is assumed to be used only on one processor.
• Now it is possible to visualize streamline on surfaces.
• You have to do much less mouse clicks when working with Terminal.
• New variables have been added, Reference Pressure and Reference Temperature.
• A new layer, Computational grid section, now can be displayed by the Viewer module.
