Below is a list of featured updates in ® SE 8.15.1.
ENHANCEMENT LIST
- GIS IMPORTER
- GRAPH AXIS LABELS
- SOLID NODE RESULTS
- ZEHNER-SCHLÜNDER MODEL IN REACTOR BUILDER SCRIPT
- ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
The complete Release Notes containing detailed descriptions of the enhancements in the latest Flownex® SE 8.15.1 release are available under the Help ribbon in the latest Flownex® SE release.
GIS IMPORTER
- The latest update has improved the GIS Importer feature to facilitate attribute mapping from shapefiles to component inputs, enhancing customization and adaptability. Additionally, the importer now supports the import of shape length, enabling the creation of single pipes for a shape. This powerful tool streamlines workflow efficiency and offers enhanced flexibility for accurate system modelling.
GRAPH AXIS LABELS
- Users now have increased flexibility with graph customization. This update introduces the ability to modify the font and font size of axis labels (the numerical markers) on graphs. Experience enhanced graph customization to better suit your visualization needs
SOLID NODE RESULTS
- Introducing a new result parameter to solid nodes – the ‘Heat accumulation rate.’ This parameter depicts the rate of change in total thermal energy within a solid node throughout transient simulations. Users can now obtain a more comprehensive understanding of thermal behaviour within solid components during dynamic scenarios.
ZEHNER-SCHLÜNDER MODEL IN REACTOR BUILDER SCRIPT
- Users can now leverage the Zehner-Schlünder model for effective conductivity using the Reactor Builder Script. The model can be used by selecting it on the appropriate zones on the reactor chart. Activating this model enables precise conductivity adjustments, optimizing the accuracy of thermal behaviour simulations for superior performance assessments.
ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
- To ensure updated guidance and best practices, various manuals, tutorials, and the Validation and Verification pack have been updated. These updates aim to provide users with refined resources, enabling them to maximize their simulation capabilities. For more detailed information on these enhancements, please refer to the comprehensive Release Notes available on Flownex® SE 8.15.1.
