Streamline Solutions Launches ELEMENTS v4.1.0: Elevating Automotive CFD Design
19th September 2023:Streamline Solutions is delighted to announce the release of ELEMENTS 4.1.0, an open-source based CFD software suite for vehicle design applications. This release also includes new versions of the add-on modules ELEMENTS-Adjoint and ELEMENTS-Coupled.
What's New in ELEMENTS 4.1.0:
ELEMENTS continues to revolutionise CFD solutions for vehicle design applications, offering an integrated package that combines a dedicated virtual wind tunnel wizard with a versatile CFD interface. In this latest release, ELEMENTS 4.1.0 introduces a wealth of enhancements, setting new standards in automotive CFD design:
- Create Charts Functionality: ELEMENTS now offers the ability to create fully customisable XY scatter and Histogram plots as view objects. Users can utilise monitoring functions and .csv files as sources for these plots. Additionally, several tutorials now include Charts for reference.
- Multi-Display Functionality: multi-display functionality has been introduced to enable users to create and tile multiple displays within the 3D viewport. These displays can also be detached as separate windows, providing a tailored and efficient workflow.
- Multiple Camera Views: users can now define new camera views for each scene and customise properties, or leverage a view from the viewport to overwrite camera settings in a scene. This feature is particularly useful for viewing a single scene from multiple angles.
- Customizable Reports: the creation of reports have been refactored in ELEMENTS, enabling users to create custom scenes and customise reports using python scripting.
- Reference Frames: a dedicated reference frame has been added to the center of the vehicle, utilised for setting up scene cameras when generating reports.
