View factors may be computed once and stored for later use. Allows modeling of a solid body moving through a continuum of fluid. Addition of bar and shell elements that allow heat conduction in the plane or along the axis of the element but offer no resistance to heat flow across the element. Contact resistance feature allows user to specify heat transfer between two surfaces without modeling the region between them. Radiation heat transfer reference temperature can be computed at run time from the average temperature of a user-specified surface.
Nonisotropic permeability eliminates restriction on the orientation of the porous medium.
Results database backup includes pressure in addition to all other solution variables. Filling simulations using the VOF algorithm can include the effects of surface tension.
