news? update?

Version 5.0 available 

> Bodies. Can import non-lifting bodies into the flow field. Supported file formats are STL and OBJ. Note that body-body intersections and wing-body intersections are not supported yet.
> Some controls have been reorganized in the model tree. This also prepares for new analysis types (e.g. fixed AOA, dynamic stability, etc), which will come soon.
> Wings and bodies have scale, translation and rotation fields, as well as individual draw modes.
> Strip-wise force vectors are now drawn in the strip’s CP, not at the leading edge
> VT modeling bug fixed. You can now model a vertical tail in the x-z-plane with symmetry on.
> Oswald factor fixed
> Improved Quick-Start examples
> And other small tweaks

Version 4.27 available

What’s Changed

> All-new Wiki replaces the PDF handbook
> New Quick-Start Examples for Boxwings and Boxprops (toroidal propellers)
> Scale factor available as design variable in prop optimizations.
> And many more small fixes and improvements

Version 4.26 available with new propeller features

What’s Changed

Modeling and Analysis

> Improved Propeller optimization demo model
> Demo propellers now correctly show sweep and dihedral
> Analysis (including optimizations) use all available cores by default
> Demo wings and props use CMAES Optimizer by default

Fidelity

> Improved fidelity and robustness through Rankine core model on vortex filaments
> Aerodynamic center computed for all angles of attack
> Atmospheric model adopts ISO 2533:1975: International Standard Atmosphere

New features

> Extended propeller results and plots, e.g. Figure of merit, local lift coefficient
> Propeller torque optimization constraint

Bugfixes

> Source panels nearfield formula
> Estimation of required memory
> Links pointing to the new website
> And many minor fixes…
