Flagship Enhancements

Massive computational performance speedups and memory reductions without sacrificing accuracy.

Unsteady Solver Enhancements

• Fluid-Structure interactions capability added to support static and dynamic aeroelasticity, flutter and time-domain flexible structure analyses with full geometric fidelity.
• Flight control system module added. Enables users to link control surfaces and hinges to an external user-defined FCS to perform pseudo-time or full time-domain flight dynamics analyses in conjunction with above 6DOF and gust models.
• Gust encounter capability added to unsteady simulations with ability to specify FAA gust models or user-defined custom gust models.
• 6DOF simulations now have extensive external force models that include constant impulses, custom user-defined force-vs-time and force-vs-distance profiles, spring forces, pneumatics, buoyancy and gravity force options.
• Custom motion definitions now support position-time and velocity-time inputs.

General Solver Enhancements

• Mesh mirroring now guarantees symmetry of meshes for full-vehicle analyses.
• Automatic turbulent boundary layer log-law velocity profiles.
• Cross-flow separation models for high side-slip lateral simulations as well as missile and submarine hydrodynamics analysis.

Geometry Pre-processing Enhancements

• CCS file format supports multiple new types of control surface designs.

CAD Improvements

• CAD Create—Completely overhauled user-interface and graphics.

Post-Processing

• Probe-point line survey tool added. Ability to create a 3D line of probe points around the geometry for extracting survey data.
• Probe points editor with graphical functions and interactive spreadsheet capability.
• On-body streamlines have the ability to generate boundary layer velocity profiles along streamlines, in addition to generating integral boundary layer information. Ability to export spreadsheets containing full boundary layer information.
