What's New in SolidMesh v4.4
Enhancements/ Additions:
-
The IGES
reader and writer has been
updated to better import and export 3rd party IGES files.
-
Picking has been changed for increased
ease of use and functionality. Additional Pick Limits
All, Mesh, and Group have been added. The ability to pick through a
selected object has also been added.
-
Additional information is provided in the Message Window when an entity is selected:
- Vertex/Point: Id and type
- Curve: Id and type
- Surface: Id, type, and group association
- Group: Boundary condition and grid size information
-
Automated alignment of trimming loops. An automated procedure to
that automatically splits trim curves to create a topologically valid, water-tight geometry to
within a specified tolerance. The automated alignment feature
is accessed by the ^w (Ctrl-w) hot-key since there is no button for this feature. This
functionality may require multiple Trim and Glue
operations to be successful. Note that this is Beta functionality.
-
New volume grid generation boundary condition,
Transparent-Delete, added. The boundary condition is
similar to the Transparent boundary condition, except that the
transparent surface is not retained in the volume grid.
-
The ability to specify a
variable initial spacing distribution to a surface. Color contours of the
initial spacing distribution can be generated to check
the distribution.  Currently this functionality is limited and applicable only to surface grids.
-
Color display added to show the color
selected before it is applied.
-
Filename length increased to 1024 characters.
-
Expression evaluation added to the
Multiply Point Spacing,
y+, and
Initial Normal Spacing text fields.
Bugs Fixed:
-
Problems with the Grid Visualization quality
measures have been corrected.
-
Corrected problems when translating, mirroring, rotating, or scaling parametric
curves. A copy of the surface associated with each parametric curve was written to the IGES file
resulting in multiple copies of the same surface.
-
Corrected problem with group names containing white space.
-
Corrected gui-related bug when inquiring about U2NCLE and Fluent
flow solver boundary conditions.
-
Corrected problem with the cursor management when creating cutting planes.
Known Problems:
-
Trimming IGES-tagged periodic surfaces.
