Release Notes - August 06, 2025

Here's what's new in our latest update:

Faster Results Loading with Local Render Data Caching

To improve performance, Luminary now caches visualization data files locally using your browser. This feature substantially improves project load times (up to 45x in some cases) when re-opening previously visited projects, as the data no longer needs to be downloaded. You can manage your cache size in My Account > Settings. The cached data is managed securely by your browser and not visible to other pages or your local filesystem.

AI Assistant: Expanded Output Support

The Assistant now supports creating, updating, and deleting a wider range of outputs — including force/moment, surface average, residual, and volume reduction. You can also modify reference values and stopping conditions directly through the assistant. (Note: Point probes, inner iteration data, and derived outputs aren't yet supported.)
​

Enhancements

• Blender versions up to 4.5.1 LTS are now supported
• You will now be prompted to confirm before the AI Assistant generates a mesh
• Free trial users now have access to the in-app notebook
• When you rename a simulation, any final adapted mesh it generated will now update its name to match, keeping things consistent and ensuring your project stays organized without manual cleanup

Fixed Issues

• The notebook crashed in some instances
• Camera grouping in geometry did not function properly in some cases
