Engineering Quantities: Surface Statistics
Determine spatially-dependent statistics for a given variable on a user-selected surface. Displays spheres to indicate low (blue) and high (red) value locations on the surface. Minimum, maximum, area average, and the standard deviation are computed. Location of the minimum/maximum are reported for X/Y/Z.
Result Reader Option: Compute Powell Sound Source
Extension of the advanced flow variable computation: Vorticity, Q-criterion, Lambda 1/2/3, Powell Sound Source from CFD results within the back end reader. Models surface-generated Dipole Noise to capture sounds generated by flow interaction with solid boundaries, which is especially important for bluff bodies and airfoils.
Support STL Export Within the User Interface
Added the ability to export surfaces and derived surfaces from the user interface via the Export Dialog. Supported actions include the following browser tree context menu (right-click) options: export single/multiple/mixed boundaries, slice plane, and iso surface.
HyperMesh CFD Report Updates
Added the capability to include multiple datasets into a single report using multiple DATASET commands as well as the appropriate attributes. Added the capability to utilize user-defined views that have been stored in the user interface, allowing repeatable user-defined camera positions and zoom levels.

Enhancements

General enhancements include:
  • Enhanced the robustness of *.cpstate files for load/apply state.
  • Stride and range controls added to the transient time step control.
  • Improved the "Streamlines by point" context.
  • Report automation:
    • Added the ability to use views from the *.cpstate file as stored in the GUI.
    • Export full spectral information per frequency band for GSP calculations.
    • Support for multiple DATASETs in one report template.
    • Utilities: Support for the export, decimation of *.h3d, *.sos, and *.stl files (Beta).

Resolved Issues

  • HyperMesh CFD Report: Custom Views, used together with focus parts, clipping geometry/surfaces and so on.
  • Report utilities: Mapping results are not functioning on a surface when the target is *.stl.
  • View images are incorrect when loading from state.
  • For HyperMesh CFD, signal processing for point probe, the block size is applied correctly after context change.
  • Scalar-based opacity not applied until focus for derived reps, global legend.
  • Modified the field name of vorticity, lambda2, and q-criterion to be dependent on the calculation vector.
  • Dark mode: When the legend is displayed and the image is exported, the font is displayed as white and is unreadable.
  • Streamline > Circles > Seeds location out of the circle; display issue.
  • Box clips: Move tool does not take specified values.
  • Segmentation error when loading H3D files with component names containing quotation marks into HyperMesh CFD.
  • Animate slices resets the settings applied when exporting a video.
  • User interface refresh issue on “Number of steps” in slice plane > animation.
  • Global legend: Reset default position after File > New.
  • Streamlines > Surface > Edit context does not allow modification of streamline calculation.
  • User interface for probe GSP does not recognize the block number after modification.
  • An error has been resolved when the legend range was not properly reset for certain types of data files containing wall shear stress.
