What's New in SolidMesh v5.60
Enhancements / Additions:
- Added ability to generate periodic
surface grids.
- Customizable GUI set-up file to store
user start-up preferences.
-
Added geometric functionality for Discrete geometry
and CAPRI data:
- Added ability to assign and
export boundary conditions for the
USM3D flow solver.
- Added support to read and
write and
VGRID files.
- The UG_IO library now allows
for a volume id flag specified per element. This is supported in the following formats:
CGNS,
FGRID/UFAST,
NASTRAN, and
UGRID. A
toggle has been added to the File I/O
Read File Window to specify whether to retain the volume id flags or
not. By default, the volume id flags are not retained. The
command line option to retain the volume id flags is
-retainvolids.
- Modified the Grid Tools to retain
the volume id information. Added three command line options to
voltool to assign and extract sub-volumes based on id.
- -extractelem: Extract the specified volumes(s) and write them to the specified
output grid file.
- -assignelem: Assigns a volume id to all elements between the surfaces specified
using -surfid1 and -surfid2.
- -auto: If used with -assignelem,
automatically assigns a volume id to all elements based on the
number of sub-volumes formed by closed interior surfaces.
If used with -extract or
extractelem, automatically extracts each volume id
found in the grid and writes each sub-volume to a separate grid file.
- Added command line option -compress_tag to
surftool to renumber all surface ids so that they are numbered
consecutively.
Bugs Fixed:
- Graphics bug fixed that caused surface meshes to be drawn incorrectly.
Intermittent bug that only showed up when surface mesh changed.
- Corrected behavior of the Orthogonal
Surface Sweep. The direction of the
sweep is determined automatically, rather than assuming the relative direction of the curve path
(directorix). The swept surface is always along the directorix, unless the
Reverse toggle is selected.
- Corrected behavior of the Average Surface
generation. The surfaces normals are aligned.
- Corrected bug that ignored user requests
to not overwrite files when the file already exists.
-
Corrected Save State related problems:
-
Corrected memory leak related to deleting
Groups.
-
Corrected problem with generating
composite surface grids. Occurred if
the composite surface
grid was generated first
(introduced in version 5.51).
