Hibou Scientific Software Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the release of Khamsin version 1.0.

Khamsin, a SketchUp Plugin for CFD Modelling, is a different paradigm in the Computational Fluid Dynamic world. It allows for GUI set-up and management of analysis using open-source CFD tools and solvers straight within the popular and powerful SketchUp 3D environment. Khamsin allows for the definition of all parameters of the CFD simulation directly within SketchUp without having to use different software for geometry definition and case setup.

Khamsin version 1.0 has been in development over the last few months and includes the following features:

- Amazon AWS: we introduced an option to submit and run analysis on the Amazon EC2 cloud and use the Amazon S3 storage system for analysis storage;

- Linux: while SketchUp does not work under Linux, you can now prepare and submit the analyse to a Linux computer from SketchUp on Windows;

- Installation process: the installation process has been completely reviewed and redeveloped;

- buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam: replaces the buoyantSimpleFoam solver previously used;

- LTSInterFoam: the integration of the solver has been improved;
