The Caedium RANS Flow and Professional add-ons can now perform CFD simulations in parallel, either on a single machine with multiple cores or on a Windows cluster, which can lead to a significant reduction in simulation turnaround time. Also Windows and Linux versions of Caedium are now 64-bit, which means Caedium can perform much larger simulations (no longer being limited to the 32-bit memory maximum of 2-4 GB).

New Features and Enhancements

• Speed Ups
  • Parallel CFD simulation using shared memory on a single machine with multiple cores is now supported on all platforms [RANS Flow]
  • Parallel CFD simulation on Windows HPC Server 2008 is now supported [RANS Flow]
  • Improved extraction speed for attributes, e.g., pressure on many faces [RANS Flow|Panel Flow]
• Physics
  • Improved robustness of steady-state OpenFOAM solvers using GAMG [RANS Flow]
  • RANS Flow solver default iteration (for results extraction) is now 100 (previously 10) [RANS Flow]
  • Simulation time duration default is now 5 (previously 10)
• 64-bit versions of Caedium are available for Windows and Linux. Simulations are no longer limited to the 32-bit memory maximum of 2-4 GB
• 32-bits versions of Caedium on Windows and Linux are discontinued
• Single installation package for Linux
• Improved image export/print quality with option to define PPI to better control text size relative to image size
• New feedback sounds

Bug Fixes

• Resume/interrupt was not reset after reading a new project file
• Property slider failed to change value if previous change was not complete and caused an error
• New substance did not have visible material properties [RANS Flow|Panel Flow]
• During mesh import a duplicate face/volume label caused an error [RANS Flow]
• Pressing play and then immediately pressing stop caused an error
• Pressing previous after a simulation failed skipped the most recent stable simulation state [RANS Flow]
• View window focus problem on initial startup
