Our new version 25.03 Magnificent Markus with some of the most important new features is live!
Our new release is fully packed with 94 new features and 67 bugs were fixed. Check out our release webinar with our Product Management Lead Andrew Sartorelli and Product Marketing Manager Paul Bomke.
New features
Workflow Insights
Managing complex workflows can be very tedious. The new Workflow insights sidebar addresses this problem, allowing you to:
- Show and open Custom nodes across all nesting levels.
- Show and open files referenced in the workflow.
- Identify warnings and errors related to missing workflows and files.
You can find the Workflow insights on the left of the canvas between Run and Upgrades.
Dark Mode
Inspired by your feedback, we're now introducing Dark Mode – to reduce eye strain during long sessions while maintaining crystal-clear visibility of your workflows.
Explicit Dynamic Analysis
Explicit analyses are now easier to set up and yield more realistic results. We’ve added:
- Nodes to easily define simulation parameters and initial conditions.
- Contact nodes for LS-DYNA.
- Material damage and failure models, including Material Erosion and GISSMO.
In addition, time-resolved results can now be visualized more efficiently. The new Animation nodes allow you to create, view and export visualizations in GIF format.
Non-Linear Analysis
We're further extending the support for non-linear analysis to more solvers:
- Non-linear contacts can now be defined for MSC Nastran, SimCenter Nastran and Ansys Mechanical.
- IDs are now persisted for Abaqus, Nastran and Ansys Mechanical.
In addition, it is now easier to define Force-Displacement curves using the new FEA Table node.
