The last version of FV3: FlowVision 3.06.0 |
|
The following corrections and supplements are done in FlowVision version 3.06.00 build 09.09.2008:
- Solver:
- 64-bit version of Solver for Windows and Linux is issued. The version is completely compatible with the 32-bit one.
- The algorithm for building the initial grid is improved: now it works faster and uses less memory.
- Usage of memory in storing the grid in parallel calculations is reduced.
- Possibility to manually decompose the grid onto processors is introduced.
- The scalability of the parallel solver is essentially augmented by means of changing the algorithms for grid decomposition and cell numeration.
- Usage of the disk space in saving the computed data is reduced approximately in 4 times.
- Possibility to stop calculations after the solution is converged (i. e. a Stopping criterion based on a Residual or User value is met) is provided to a user.
- Possibility to stop calculations after the solution is converged (i. e. a Stopping criterion based on a Residual or User value, averaged over a pre-defined time interval, is met) is provided to a user.
- A bug manifested itself in calculations with Rotation is eliminated.
- Turbulence:
- The principle of limiting k, e, w, and turbulence viscosity from below and above is changed.
- Turbulence generation in the free surface cells is cancelled.
- SST model: account of compressibility is introduced.
- SST model: account of streamline curvature is introduced.
- SST model: correction to coefficient F2 (present in the expression for the turbulent viscosity) is introduced.
- SA model: an error is corrected.
- Account of the wall roughness: an error is corrected.
- Pre-Postprocessor
- Parameters responsible for displaying a Preprocessor Object are moved to Postprocessor.
- Possibility to create Characteristics in Preprocessor is provided to a user.
- Possibility to create Layers on the Preprocessor Objects is provided to a user.
- Translucency property is introduced for most of Layers and Objects.
- Possibility to controll displaying separate parts of a Solid is provided to a user.
- Functionality of toolbar Solids is improved.
- Possibility to create a Stopping criterion based on a Preprocessor Characteristics is provided to a user.
- Possibility to specify the centre of rotation of the Scene is provided to a user.
- List of the variables in Postprocessor is rearranged. Now a user can see the distribution of a variable common for several phases.
- Functionality of Layers and Objects is extended.
- Layers Color contours and Isolines are merged into Layer Color contours.
- Overall rendering is accelerated by using modern graphical accelerators.
- Turbulence:
- 3 parameters are added on page Preprocessor -> Phase#i -> Physical processes -> Turbulence.
- 5 parameters are added to folder Solver -> Advanced -> Turbulence.
- Viewer
- Possibility to save images is provided to a user.
- License Manager
- Dongle support is brought into effect (for Windows only).
- Installation
- 64-bit solver is added on the installation disk.
- Possibility to install Solver-Agent and License Manager as services is introduced (under Windows only).
- Coupling with Abaqus
- Couping with Abaqus in the Direct Coupling regime is implemented.
- A new MP Manager is developed. It enters the standard installation.
Updates and releases you can find in Support.
