New Features

New Morphing Routine
A new morphing routine was added to make morphing easier to define, parametric, and to get smoother morph results. With the new morphing routine, two new tools were added:
Control Points
A tool to create control points to utilize for morphing. You can create random or uniform control points on selected geometries.
Morph
A tool to define active parts, control volumes to define morph domain, active control points and fixed points to define fixed regions.
The new morphing tool has the capability to constrain the scope of morphing by selecting parts, selecting control volume or by defining impact radius. You can now utilize symmetrical morphing when all morphs are defined, and morph definition templates can be created, independent of geometry.
PhysicsAI
The PhysicsAI ribbon has been added to provide capabilities to train models with existing simulations and predict KPIs or surface fields.
KPIs prediction
  • Useful to predict KPIs:
    • Drag | Lift | Pressure drop | Uniformity index
  • No heavy compute resources need to train
  • Fast to train
  • No need to decimate result data
Field Prediction:
  • Useful to predicts surface fields:
    • Pressure | Wall Shear Stress | Temperature
  • Requires consistent set of training data
  • Requires significant compute resources
  • Need to decimate the data to reduce node count
Decimate Tool
The new Decimate has been added to reduce geometric complexity of results to optimize training time and resource usage.
With PhysicsAI and morphing capabilities, you can utilize following workflow.
