August Updates

It's been a busy couple of months, so we thought we would pull together a short wrap-up for our Australian-focused audience.

Our updates are things that you see and things that you don't, such as enhanced stability, speed, and security. In some cases, you may notice larger or more complex models being significantly faster, with no reduction in simulation quality or accuracy.

As always, we're genuinely keen to hear how we've done and whether this is hitting the mark for what you need. So please, don't hold back, get in touch with us directly through our ticket system and let us know what you think.

Looking ahead, we're working on a new process to help you manage your material data, NCC 2025 J1V3, a new 2D hygrothermal and linear thermal bridging solver and much more.
