Here's what's new in our latest update


Meshing Performance

We’ve significantly accelerated meshing performance. Across benchmarks, mesh time improved by 2.5x to 6x (10M–100M CVs), cutting total simulation time — so you can generate high‑fidelity results faster without changing mesh quality.

Pipelines

Pipelines is a new Early Access capability for automating large batches of simulation work on Luminary. Define a reusable, parameterized workflow as a set of dependent stages (e.g., ReadGeometry → Mesh → Simulate), then run hundreds to thousands of variants by invoking it with a PipelineArgs table—each row becomes a run.

Pipelines integrates with Named Variables so each run can apply a different Named Variable Set to generate parametric geometry while the UI provides dashboards and detailed views to manage execution and results.

To help you get started, a new Pipelines Tutorial sample notebook has been added. It walks through a complete end-to-end Pipelines workflow on Luminary using a parametric wing-body geometry, and can be opened and cloned directly from the UI.

AI Assistant Upgrades

The AI assistant in the can now browse and read your notebooks and uploaded files on demand. When you ask the assistant a file you've uploaded, it can look up the contents directly.

The AI Assistant now shows its thinking process while generating responses.

Fullscreen Support

The 3D visualization canvas now supports a fullscreen mode, maximizing your screen real estate for simulation analysis. Click the new fullscreen button in the canvas toolbar to expand the 3D view while keeping the toolbar, results, and geometry panels accessible. In fullscreen mode, you can still step through simulation iterations, access the AI assistant, and control the camera — without needing to exit fullscreen.
