in:Flux v2.14 Release Highlights
July 7, 2022 · Allen Miller

in:Flux Feature improvements:
-
User-defined transient inflow profiles can now be created for multiple variables, including upstream pressure and temperature (high pressure leaks), and velocity, flow rate, power and temperature (custom emissions, shown above).
-
Added HCO reactions for fire simulations (alongside the standard hydrocarbon CxHy type reactions) for fuels of type CxHyOz:

-
Added the ability to define user-reactions, including user-reactions for non-DIPPR fluids. This provides a great deal of flexibility for fire simulations where the reaction is not of the standard reaction types. To add a user-defined reaction, go to the “Add Item” tab and select “Reaction”:

-
Hydrogen can now be used for fire simulations.
-
Min values are now output for monitors.
-
Better reporting of transient monitor values in exported Excel spreadsheets.
-
Added transient options for batch image output.
-
Updated DIPPR database to contain more fluids.
-
Added STL Exporter for geometry. This is available by right-clicking on the geometry in the Project Tree and selecting “Export to STL”.
-
Better auto-limits for risk contours, now defaulting to 20% of the maximum value for exceedance (e.g. 20% of the number of simulations for scenario-based exceedance).
Bug Fixes
- Licensing issues fixed for customers with multiple in:Flux and ifx:Solve licenses.
- Fixed globalization errors in wind rose import / export.
- Ventilation-only simulations can be added from the risk manager.
- Fixed holes in isosurfaces.
- Fixed a bug where changing the scheduling option on the solver files window set the main project to a solver file.
- Fixed auto-nudge on plane shapes for inflows. Also changed default nudge to 0.01m.
- Fixed a bug when recovering simulation data.
- Fixed bug caused by removing custom gas clouds.
- Fixed bug where volume fraction variables would occasionally not appear when expected on monitor tables.
- Fixed when monitor line wind export popup sometimes persisted.
- Multiple minor bug fixes.
