In this update:
- Performance improvements through increased parallelization providing 20% analysis speed-up
- More robust and accurate results through improved wake model. Particularly on multi-wing models and propeller blades.
- Propeller analysis in pure hover conditions (advance ratio J=0) now available.
- Propeller model plots added: thrust distribution and Cfx
- Quick start examples improved. Optimization examples converge much better now.
- Model scale factor added, allowing a quick scale as well as scaling during shape optimizations and parameter studies
- Mach number: contour plots or all fixed-wing and propeller models available. Particularly useful when used as constraints in propeller shape optimization.
- Airfoils can be inverted. This is useful for highly non-planar configurations, like boxwings. Inspect the new “Swept Boxwing” example accessible in one click through the Quick Start Menu.
- Airfoil plots improved
- Flow field vector size improved
- The usual minor bugfixes
