Enhancements / Additions:

• Reduced the graphical memory requirements by 25 - 30% and increased the graphics speed.
• Discrete geometry enhancements
  • Interactively process discrete geometry with the discrete geometry topology definition GUI
  • Improved robustness
• Implemented topology repair and defeature tools for surface grids.
• Improved the Volume Grid Generation GUI.  Added parameters to set the ending boundary-layer growth and the number of constant boundary-layer layers adjacent to the boundary-layer surface.
• Added ability to specify boundary-layer thickness either globally or locally to each surface.  Can also display the local boundary-layer thickness distribution.
• Composite surface enhancements:
  • Can generate composite surfaces using CAPRI-imported geometry and discrete geometry
  • Can apply Surface Grid boundary conditions.
  • Can apply local initial spacing and boundary-layer thickness.
• Improved picking diagnostic information that reports global index information for grids.
• Added a hotkey (Shift-b) for the Break Surf grid utility.
• Added an option to stop at Group boundaries for the Break Surf grid utility.
• Added capability to reverse the face normal, i.e. reverse the face connectivity, for selected Groups.
• Added stereolithography (.STL) and Cart3d (.tri) for surface grid output.
• Improved the speed and reduced the memory usage of the stereolithography reader.
• Changed the Center of Rotation operation to compute the COR using the average of all the selected points instead of using the first point selected.
• Added command line options: -oc, -catia, -ugs, -proe, and -sw to initiate CAPRI data import.
• Changed command line options -featureid to -nofeatureid and -bctags to -tags.
• Added options to display cutting planes based on volume element angles.
• Added capability to change the color of the Debug surface and volume elements, the Surface and Volume Weather Map elements, and cutting planes.
• Added capability to append Save-States.
• Increased robustness of CAPRI functionality and tested on large-scale applications.
• Added options to display the Surface Weather Map and Volume Weather Map based on surface or volume element angles.
• Added capability set the color of the Drawing Area background, debug entities, Surface and Volume Weather Maps, and cutting planes.
• Added capability set the transparency of geomtric surfaces, cutting planes, and surface grids.
• Modified the Grid Tools:
  • scalegrid: changed the command line option -discardvtags to -writevtags so the default action is to not write the volume tag information to the output grid
  • surftool: added command line option -offset_tag [#] to offset the surface id by the given offset for the specified surfaces

Bugs Fixed:

• Corrected problems with un-picking interior points on curves and surfaces.
• Corrected problems with the surface and volume weather map display.
• Corrected the parametric curve representation extracted from CAPRI geometry.
• Corrected bug when writing CGSN files.
• Corrected bug with the BreakSurf grid utility.
• Corrected the Tolerance-Based Evaluation curve projection mode.
• Corrected memory leak with the unstructured grid neighbor maps.
• Corrected bug related to managing the visibility of composite surfaces that could cause problems when generating surface grids.

Known Problems and Limitations:

• Trimming IGES-tagged periodic surfaces.
