Release Notes - April 15, 2025

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

Blender Model Import

Seamlessly import your Blender models into Luminary with full parametric control. This powerful integration preserves shape keys across multiple file formats—allowing you to modify geometry directly within the Luminary platform. No more switching between applications to test design variations.

​

With Blender's flexible modeling capabilities, you can now rapidly explore design alternatives, run optimizations, and generate rich datasets for physics AI model training. Simply import your parameterized model, adjust values using intuitive sliders, and instantly see how changes affect performance.

File Swapping

Quickly iterate on your designs with our new file swapping functionality. You can now swap imported CAD files with a single click using the new swap button, eliminating the need to start over when you want to try a different model. This approach saves you time and keeps your workflow uninterrupted as you explore design alternatives.

The swap feature works seamlessly with both continuous and discrete geometry types, giving you flexibility with various CAD formats. Currently, swapping from continuous to discrete geometry isn't supported, but we're working on enabling automatic transitions between these types in an upcoming update.

Other Enhancements

• Select multiple simulations in the results table to open, export, or delete them simultaneously
• Use the new Line filter in Luminary3D client-side rendering, including an intuitive point placement widget
• Create 2D plots with the Line filter functionality

Fixed Issues

• Improved tolerance to bounding box failure, reducing "Surface is illegal and cannot be evaluated" errors
• Resolved issue where geometry wouldn't update after adding a monitor plane or point until page refresh
• Fixed error that occurred when running new simulations with filters requiring specific fields (e.g., streamlines)
