3. Performance

The following performance related enhancements were implemented for Release 2026 R1:

  • Imported Load Mapping Performance Improvements.

    • Processing Time Enhancements. Now, depending on the number of source and target nodes and the number of time/frequency sets being mapped, the processing time required to import and map load data to your model has been reduced by at least 10% and as much as 50%. To accomplish this, the imported load must be specified with the following property settings:

      • Mapped Data = To Binary File.

      • Weighting = Triangulation or Distance-Based Average, or this property set to Shape Function and Transfer Type = Volumetric.

      Given these settings, the processing improvements occur automatically.

    • Imported Velocity Mapping. In addition, to improve performance and reduce resource usage when mapping Imported Velocity load data, the application now automatically sets the Weighting property to Triangulation whenever the Mapping Control property is set to Program Controlled. Previously, the application used Shape Function as the default setting for the Weighting property. Unlike Shape Function, Triangulation uses point cloud-based mapping on nodal data. As a result, it avoids mapping data from interior nodes, which reduces both mapping time and resource consumption.
