The following
capabilities have been added or expanded:
General:
AutoCAD® 2008 compatibility
Colorbar editing has been tabbed for each color bar and a visibility check box added to the form.
Improved import capabilities for symbols, orbits, and case sets: users are presented a form that allows them to choose which data to import and are also prompted before overwriting existing data.
STEP-TAS Version 5.2 import and export added.
Optical and thermophysical property names no longer have a 32 character name length limit.
Purge Symbols has been improved to display a list of symbols to be purged and allow the user to select which symbols to delete. The symbols are listed by groups.
Thermal Desktop:
Advection (solid mass transport) added to FD Solids
Heatload can now be a function of time and temperature.
Heater sensing can now be maximum, minimum or area-weighted average temperature of sensing surface, or can be specified by user logic.
Proportional heater option available in steady state.
Ablation can be calculated using a given rate as a function of applied heat load; this allows ablation to be matched to test data.
Stray nodes will automatically be placed in a STRAYNODES group when case sets are run.
Fluid selection modified in Conductor forms for convection-based conductors.
Node numbers have been made easier to view with longer lead lines and color will always contrast with background, when using black/white background.
Export node data now allows exporting node locations in WCS or current UCS.
RadCAD:
Parallel Processing for RadCAD calculations with AutoCAD 2007 and higher.
Improved database compression for less solution overhead with large models.
Default space temperature changed from 0 K to 2.73 K (4.91 R).
FloCAD:
Advection (solid mass transport) added to Pipes for pipe walls.
Fluid submodel properties modified to allow fluid selection by browsing.
Contactors available for ends of pipes.
Pipe contactors reflect actual edge length and area instead of using conics thin surface approximation.
Lump Edit Form Tabbed with Gas Dissolution/Evolution data added.
Path phase and species suction data tab added to edit form.
Tooltips for fluid objects display initial conditions when not in post processing mode.
Toolbar Icon added for Fluid Submodel Manager.
RcPipePlot command added to plot lump variables as function of distance along a pipe.
Radiation Page available for Pipe multi-edit mode.
Paths, Ties, FTies and IFaces can all select twin lump attachments.
