Centrifugal Foaming 

The new centrifugal foaming process shows how a solution is poured into a cylindrical mold rotating at high speed and the product shape is determined by centrifugal force.

Weld lines 

A new result type has been added for weld lines. They are generated whenever two separated fluid streams recombine as a result of the presence of obstacles and multiple gates. The weld line greatly affects the final appearance and mechanical properties of injection molded parts. 

Mapping 

Results are now mapped from the original voxel mesh to tetrahedral mesh. This improves the visualization of results and avoids shape deformation.

Run Manager 

New options have been added to the Run label on the ribbon that allow you to run jobs locally either in parallel or in sequence.
