We are so excited to announce the release of #PreonLab 6.2!

It is packed with advanced features and performance improvements to push the boundaries of multi-physics simulations. With each new release we continuously refine PreonLab, adding powerful functionalities and enhancing existing capabilities to make it the ultimate simulation tool.

Here’s what this version has in store for you.

➡️𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹: We are taking our existing car suspension model (CSM) to the next level! The new Full Car Suspension Model (FCSM) now computes deflection forces per wheel, considering not just fluid forces but also acceleration, deceleration, and weight shifts. This sophisticated upgrade enables more precise simulations for automotive applications, like fast water wading, enhancing the overall performance and accuracy.

➡️𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹: PreonLab 6.2 builds on several important enhancements across key areas for multiphysics simulations. Thermodynamics, multiphase, and snow features have been refined to improve accuracy and stability. Notable improvements include a new hashtag#thermal sensor, an updated convective boundary condition, lateral adhesion for snow, improved snow boundary handling, and more stable multiphase interfaces - each contributing to elevating these features to a new level.

➡️𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿: For those looking to simulate fluid-structure interactions, we are introducing an experimental linear elastic deformable solver. This first step into the realm of solid deformations caused by fluid interactions, opens new possibilities for applications that require the consideration of deformations under the load of external forces.

➡️𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: The latest release includes the introduction of the Carreau-Yasuda model for simulating non-Newtonian fluids and GPU support for the rigid body solver. Enhanced post-processing capabilities are now available with the new Calculation Objects feature, improved options for the pathlines sensor, and the ability to visualize the Q-criterion for more detailed flow analysis.
