Feature

• User notification on repetitive update fails

Bugfix

Feature

• Added two new export commands for the CLI application
  • --writeFacetDetails and --writeFacetQuantities (see Documentation)
• Smart Selection now has almost no wait time

Bugfix

• Fixed simulations on Windows sometimes feeling unresponsive

• Fixed dynami

A new update for Molflow is out!

Molflow 2.9.0 delivers major improvements to the simulation performance as well as a new secondary application:

The MolflowCLI (Command Line Interface)

In short this gives the possibility to launch simulations on headless computers or work with custom scripts. All details and a user guide can be found in the corresponding documentation:

Following another user request and the wish to compare different configurations more easily, we created a new analysis tool: the Convergence plotter. As it is deeply entangled with the Formula Editor, you can open it directly from there (or via the Tools menu).

Fix

• Fixed longer loading times under Windows
• Fixed a false notification of a subprocess timeout

Fix

• Fix incorrect rendering and texturing of concave facets

Feature

• Histograms saved/loaded with XML
• Triangulate geometry on selected facets
• Support of non-square texture cells
• Add/remove ranges of facets in profile plotter
• Parameters support lin-log, log-lin and log-log interpolation

2019 had four important changes concerning the future of Molflow:

• In the beginning of the year, cross-platform support was added. For this, the separation of GUI (mollfow.exe) and the workers (molflowSub.exe) had to be ended, using instead a single binary with multithreading (Mollfow versions 2.7 and later)
• In late April, the development of Molflow was put on hold, except for minor bugfixes
• In June, a PhD student in computer science joined the Molflow team
• In November, the development resumed, with a new build (2.7.9) released the first time in 6 months

As of the end of 2019, our plan is to...
