New Functionality

Release 2.3

FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS just released version 2.3 of the CAE-software FRIENDSHIP-Framework. The large set of new functionality was strongly driven by the excellent input of our users and our ongoing research projects.

Trimeshes and solids

Volute design

Trimeshes and Solids

Irregular trimeshes now approximate surfaces within a user defined tolerance. They are then utilized to create solids, i.e., entities of closed volume. Subsequently, Boolean Operations such as unite or subtract can be applied to build watertight STL exports to CFD codes.

Custom Result Tables

Design result tables which compile the data for the many variants created can now be extended and modified according to the needs of the design process. For instance, data from different optimization runs can be merged and flexibly extended.

Documentation

A new HTML-based documentation browser is now part of the FRIENDSHIP-Framework. It enables convenient access to software information. Furthermore, users can now nicely write and append their own object documentation via a quick-docu-editor including advanced formatting options.

Usability

This time, usability has been further improved, for instance by enabling Drag & Drop of objects into attribute editors. The object editor was redesigned following a common Look & Feel of the software. In the object tree, invalid objects are now automatically detected and visualized for better problem tracking.
