Tidy3D Software Releases
Tidy3D Python Client
1.6.0
(09/07/2022)This new version brings some major internal reorganizations, and a number of new features and bugfixes
The full list of changes can be found HEREWe would like to highlight some simulation pricing changes starting from this release:
We have worked on reducing our overhead and are happy to announce that we are decreasing the minimum charge per task from 0.2 to 0.1 flex units.
We have reduced the typical cost premium for dispersive materials in simulations, especially when only part of the simulation is dispersive.
We have added a cost for monitors, but this will be negligible in typical simulations, and will only be non-negligible for very large monitors. For example, for a very large frequency-domain monitor at many frequencies, such that the number of pixels in the monitor span times the number of frequencies is similar to the total number of pixels in the simulation, the charge for the monitor will still be only a fraction of the current charge for the simulation run.

Flow360 Software Releases
Flow360 Python Client
22.2.3.0
(07/11/2022)A new version of Flow360, release-22.2.3.0, has been deployed. Any new submissions of mesh will use this new version by default. Any cases based on previously submitted meshes or forked from submitted cases using prior versions will still use their originally specified versions of Flow360.
12.1.1. Solver
New features
Added user defined dynamics for defined alpha controller and BET Omega controller.
Added support for BET inside a sliding interface for a rotating reference frame.
Added Quadratic Constitutive Relation to turbulence models: SA and SST.
Added Surface Time Solution Averaging Animation.
Added output of maximum residual location in solver log and as a csv file
Added support for importing CGNS meshes from ANSA.
Resolved issues
Improved sliding interface implementation for kOmegaSST turbulence model.
Significantly reduced grid sensitivity of AFT transition model.
Improved numerical robustness and convergence behavior of Spalart Allmaras, kOmegaSST turbulence models and AFT transition model.
Documentation updates
Alpha controller json input has been changed to use the new user defined dynamics feature.
12.1.2. Automated Meshing
New features
Added rotational interface support for automated meshing.
12.1.3. flow360client
Although recent versions of flow360client will still work, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest version for more convenient capabilities:
Usage
If downloading for the first time:
pip3 install flow360client
If upgrading from an older version:
pip3 install --upgrade flow360client
