Happy Holidays! Just before we say goodbye to 2010, here's my final news blast of the year. Keep reading for details on the new high-quality movie creation capability added to Caedium. See how Caedium Professional provided the cover CFD simulation on a popular textbook. Then finally, check out a dazzling fluid dress, ideal to garner attention at that New Year's Eve party.

Have you been following along with the F1 in Schools story? It started way back in February with the first Caedium CFD analysis of Basilisk Performance's CO2 rocket-powered dragster. Now we have the concluding episode with the team's results from the F1 in Schools 2010 World Finals. Also noteworthy this month: we have added a tip on Caedium's particles, and you'll find a couple of new blog posts.

No particular theme this month, but some interesting updates never-the-less. With the F1 in Schools World Finals over I can reveal the CFD work I did for the Australian team Basilisk Performance in their bid to become world champions. Also hot from the Symscape lab you can read about performing Caedium CFD simulations in the cloud. To round out this month's news I have also posted a new tip on simulation controls.

The dual themes of this month's newsletter are updates and videos. You'll find updates from OpenFOAM®1 1.6.x to 1.7.x for both Caedium and our OpenFOAM for Windows source code patch. And you'll find videos related to Caedium on our new YouTube channel. Also I have a new blog post on something close to all of our hearts - CFD pricing.

Phew, what a month! We have just released a new version of Caedium that is capable of performing both faster and larger CFD simulations than ever before. We've updated all our RANS Flow tutorials to reflect more robust default solver settings, and we've added some new tips to help you simulate faster and better than ever. All that's left for me to do now is get out of your way and let you enjoy it.

Big news this month is a new release of our free Windows patch for OpenFOAM® with 64-bit and parallel capabilities. This is a precursor to providing the same capabilities in the Caedium RANS Flow and Professional add-ons (see sneak peek screenshot), but that's likely next month's lead story. Also check out the latest developments in our our website infrastructure and a blog article with a geeky theme.

This month I've been working hard on the next release of Caedium - all I can say at the moment is that soon you'll be able to run larger simulations faster...stay tuned for updates. In other news, I've launched a new poll and I've wrapped up the CFD novice-to-expert blog series - keep reading for more details.

Hope you can keep up with this month's high-octane newsletter - prepare for a thrilling race car theme. You'll find new examples of complex Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations over different types of race cars, and discover how Symscape helped an Australian team win a national F1 in Schools championship. Also there is more coverage of our recent Caedium for the Mac release, and some light relief in our April Fools' Day story about Caedium on the iPad.

The big news this month is the release of Caedium on the Mac. This latest release has enhancements and bug fixes for the Windows and Linux versions of Caedium too, so there's something for everyone. Anyone following the F1 in Schools CO2 dragster story from last month will be interested in a follow up comparison of a new CFD simulation for a revised dragster design. Finally, as one poll closes a new one awaits.
