In this section you will find the enhancements done for this version of Rocky Software.
See below the general improvements that this new version brings:
More detailed Intra-particle collision statistics where information can be drilled down to collisions between each pair of particle groups.
The input variables support for orientation parameters automization.
Volumetric Inlet ennhancements:
To set an initial velocity for particles and SPH elements injected by volumetric inlet.
The possibility to inject particles and SPH elements at any time.
Transient Point Cloud with time periodic:
Now the time periodic can be used with the Transient Point Cloud, in this way the point cloud field will be repeated for the number of periods you choose.
Periodically inject bulks of solid and fluid providind a storage optimization by importing a smaller point cloud.
For more details see Rocky User Manual.
Perfomance improvements on HTC calculations based on correlations, when the thermal model is disabled.
Now, when thermal model is enabled, HTC Calculator module calculates HTC values based on fluid adjacent temperature and fluid-triangle heat transfer instead of using correlations, which generates more accurate values.
Several other improvements related to SPH simulation performance such as the faster neighbour search and a optimized memory layout for SPH element data on GPU.
The performance of simulations with high triangle count in multi-GPU was improved as well as the 3D rendering of these cases.
Data tree elements have been reorganized so that they appear in the order they are generally used when performing a simulation.
Materials and Materials Interactions were merged to improve usability.
New Study menu as starting point to add Regions of Interest and Point Clouds.
Property User Process was renamed to Filter User Process.
Frame of Reference was removed from the Particles Entity as its functionality was misleading the users.
The ability to extend the periodic motion stop time was added in this release and now when you extend your simulation you can also extend the periodic stop time, without the need of start a new simulation.
For more details see Rocky User Manual.
Residence time calculations now have the start and stop time functionality.
Polyhedron User Process can now be attached to motion frames.
For more details see Rocky User Manual.
