The latest Caedium release has a mix of new features, enhancements and bug fixes. The highlights of this release are a new conjugate heat transfer (simultaneous fluid and solid heat transfer) capability, a new passive scalar transport solver, and major updates to all the Caedium subsystems: Open Cascade, VTK, wxWidgets, and OpenFOAM®.

New Features and Enhancements

• Improve your heat transfer predictions with conjugate heat transfer that solves for heat transfer between fluids and solids simultaneously [RANS Flow]
• Track passive fluids (e.g., smoke) released into a dominant flow with a passive scalar transport capability [RANS Flow]
• Save and restore custom/modified Substances [RANS Flow|Panel Flow]
• Provide a fan curve to control a cyclic fan boundary condition [RANS Flow]
• Improve your plots with anti-alias (smooth) lines
• Easily identify what tools apply to what entities with new entity-based grouping in the Physics Tool Palette
• New link geometry tool to couple cyclics and shared boundaries [Builder]

Bug Fixes
