Here's what's new in our latest update


Unit Systems

When creating a project, you can now specify your preferred unit system:

  • SI Units (default) - Meters, Kilograms, Kelvin, and standard SI units
  • US Units - Feet, Pounds, Fahrenheit, PSI, and other US customary units
  • Custom Units - Define your own units for each quantity individually

Note: Unit systems are set at project creation time and cannot be changed later. This ensures consistency and accuracy throughout your entire simulation workflow.

Automatic Unit Conversion

  • All geometry features are automatically converted to your project's units when imported
  • Visualization data and mesh coordinates scale appropriately
  • Simulation results display in your chosen units throughout the platform

LMA Active Regions UI

Define geometric zones (boxes, cylinders, spheres) to control adaptive mesh refinement with fine-grained error weighting and distance parameters.

Key Features:

  • Create and manage active regions directly in the mesh tree
  • Per-region controls: visibility toggle, rename, duplicate, delete
  • Configure error weight and max distance for mesh adaptation falloff
  • Real-time 3D visualization in LCVis
  • Visibility states persist per-project

Available when using LMA (Automatic Mesh Refinement) as your meshing method.

Conversation Compaction

The Assistant now automatically compacts long conversation histories to stay within the model's context window. When compacting runs, a "Compacting conversation" status indicator appears in the chat.
