The overview of the new features are as follows.
Now, imported shapes can be scaled, translated and rotated in "Import Shape".
If "Scale" is selected as editing type, shape size can be changed from mm, cm, inch, feet etc... to m. And also any scaling factor can be set if you want.
If "Translate" is selected as editing type, shape's absolute coordination can be changed.
If "Rotate" is selected as editing type, shapes can be rotated with specified axis and angle.
You can toggle display/non-display of bounding box with icon at lower-right side of 3D view.
You can set viewpoint to show all shape in the 3D view rectagle with icon at lower-right side of 3D view. This feature is useful when you scale the size of shapes and lose sight of the shapes.
The overview of the new features are as follows.
Following settings can be set in the Calculation Settings panel.
You can set "Normal", "Stability" or "Accuracy" as numerical schemes settings and "Stability" or "High speed" as matris solvers settings.
And you can set convergence criteria in a steady state analysis.
The overview of the new features are as follows.
Some output-items are added to output settings panel.
Following variables can be set as output on "General" tab.
Following variables can be set to a region as output on "Region" tab.
Variable value at a specified coordinate can be set to output on "Sampling tab". The specified coordinate can be previeweded on 3D view.
If the OpenFOAM calculation is executed on a enviroment that has desktop system and gnuplot, an Allrun script starts a monitoring window when the OpenFOAM solver is started (this feature can be disabled).
The overview of the new features are as follows.
Now it is possible to easily set base mesh fineness with buttons. And the base mesh can be preview in 3D view.
Now it is possible to set mesh refinement levels to a space that is specified with a cuboid or a cylinder. Mesh numbers between different refinement levels and refinement level for feature lines also can be set to.
A solver for Boussinesq approximation analysis is changed from "buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam/buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam" to "buoyantPimpleFoam/buoyantSimpleFoam" because of the following reasons.
By this change, it is now possible to use some thermal boundary conditions other than adiabatic condition and fixed temperature condition in the Boussinesq approximation.

New features are added. The overview of the features are as follows.
Now it is possible to set Boussinesq approximation setting in thermofluid analysis. Select "Heat" and "Boussinesq approximation" on "Basic Settings".
Now it is possible to create cuboids and polygonal columns for defining calculation areas of external flow analysis. And, if the shapes to be analyzed are very simple, you can also use these functions to create the shapes without importing CAD data.

An Allclean script to reset created mesh and calculated result will be outputed in exporting.
New features are added. The overview of the features are as follows.
In addition to the STL format, now it is possible to import Wavefront obj format (extension .obj) and Autodesk 3DS Max format (extension .3ds) files. This allows you to import shape data that is downloaded from Google Poly etc.
It is possible to make data for thermofluid analysis. Thermofluid analysis feature will be enabled by check "Heat" in "Basic Settings" page.
Physical property library feature is added to "Physical Property" page. Physical property can be changed by clicking an icon next to "Property name" and selecting a property from the list.
It is possible to set initial condition explicitly in "Initial Condition" page. If no condition is set to, a default value will be used.
It is possible to set paralle number in "Calculation Settings" page. This value will be used in meshing and fluid calculation.
We release a web-application for making analysis setting data for OpenFOAM. You can make settings with GUI and export the data as zipped directory.
