Feature Improvements
Reworked the behavior of the Start and Resume buttons for local simulations. If the scheduler is idle, or the simulation is already in the queue, it now starts immediately and moves ahead of anything queued; a simulation that is already running stops at the end of its current iteration and re-queues directly below. If the scheduler is busy and the simulation is not queued, it joins the bottom […]
Feature Improvements
Added a “Set Selected to Simulation” option to the right-click menu when multiple visual items are selected, with the simulation list filtered to those compatible with all selected items.
Visual items assigned to a transient simulation without choosing a specific time step are now set to the final time record automatically.
Improved the display of Froude and Reynolds numbers, which now switch between plain and scientific notation depending […]
Summary
This is a major update to in:Flux, affecting many aspects of the user interface, functionality and security:
The main 3D window has been updated with improved lighting, higher frame rates, and more advanced visual options (ambient occlusion, accurate transparency, silhouettes, shadows etc.).
The project tree and property grid have been updated, with the project tree now supporting multi-select.
in:Flux can now automatically connect to ifx:Solve running on machines in the […]
Feature Improvements
Added “Equivalent Diameter” option to the Consequence Model window to see volumes as equivalent spherical diameter.
Made the property grid clearer for porous regions and passive openings.
Added additional numerical stability to hot surfaces to avoid spurious high temperatures in early iterations.
Added “ACH” property to indoor simulations to quickly review Air Changes per Hour.
Bug Fixes
Fixed bug when porous regions were set to a porosity of 0.8 […]
Feature Improvements
Multiple transient profiles can now be plotted in the monitor windows.
Added filters to all the monitor data windows so that data from individual simulations can be easily extracted.
Added filters to the menus that include all simulations as options, for example when using “Set All to Simulation” in the context menu for visuals.
Added functionality for quotes in the object filters to enable searching by phrase.
[…]
Feature Improvements
Added time-average for all transient monitor data (points, lines, surface, regions etc.)
Added cylindrical porous regions.
Batch processing capability for isosurface .stl export.
Changed species and enthalpy under-relaxation factors to match the momentum under-relaxation factor to improve performance and convergence for heavy-gas leaks.
The Leak Frequency Manager is now more responsive on very large projects.
Improved the options for editing and adding custom emissions in the Leak Frequency […]
Feature Improvements
Cleaned the window for creation of data files to make it more user-friendly.
Added smoke visibility variables for light-emitting and light-reflecting objects (see SFPE Handbook). These variables appear for fire simulations only.
Changed the under-relaxation factor for energy and species to match momentum as the previous implementation caused convergence issues for extremely light or extremely heavy gases.
Various in:Flux Cloud improvements.
Improved notifications when simulations are not added […]
Feature Improvements
Added a circle pick tool to add multiple leaks to circular regions of the CAD file, see above image. The tool can be accessed via the Risk Manager on the Leak Frequencies tab.
Improved user-interface on the Risk Manager for Indoor Ventilation probabilities.
Added the ability to set up transient indoor simulations from the Risk Manager.
Better handling of transient simulations in the Risk Manager.
Added the ability […]
in:Flux Cloud
in:Flux simulations can now be submitted to a cloud server for solving.
The cloud manager can be accessed via the main “Run” button or through the project menu (Project > Cloud Manager)
Simulations can then be selected to run in the cloud:
The benefit of using the cloud server is that the simulations are solved in parallel. When a batch of simulations is submitted to the cloud, the server […]
in:Flux Feature improvements:
Version 3.0 is a major update to the in:Flux solver, to improve its capabilities for the wide range of applications for which it is now being used. The improvements particularly affect internal flows (indoor ventilation) and transient releases.
Passive inlets and outlets can be set for indoor ventilation simulations.
Monitor Regions now show minimum, maximum and average values in the monitor region for all variables. This can […]
