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

Transform Support in Results View

We’ve introduced a new transformation feature that enables users to mirror or pattern simulation results (such as half-plane or half-car models) to visualize the full domain without additional computational cost. By applying these transforms to surfaces and filters in the results tab, users can easily generate high-fidelity, complete visualizations for symmetric or rotationally symmetric simulations.

Cancel/Delete Individual Runs in DoE

To improve control over high-volume workflows, we have decoupled individual runs within Design of Experiments (DOE) sets, allowing users to manage them independently. Users can now cancel or delete specific runs within a DOE without affecting the entire batch.

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

Shock Capturing Options

The FDS (Flux Difference Splitting) convective scheme now includes a `shock_capturing` option in `SpatialDiscretizationFluid`. When enabled, the solver automatically activates a more robust convective scheme in regions where shocks are detected or where absolute pressure drops near a user-defined realizability limit.

SDK Code Generation for Visualization

You can now generate SDK code for visualization

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

Real Gas Support

Luminary Cloud now supports Real Gas modeling, enabling simulations with equations of state that account for non-ideal gas behavior. This brings improved accuracy for high-pressure applications, cryogenic flows, supercritical fluids, and phase-change scenarios

To get started, select "Real Gas" as your fluid model in your simulation setup, choose your preferred equation of state, and configure fluid properties

Download Design of Experiment Table

You can now download DoE tables as a comma separated value (csv).

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

Force Distribution Plots

You can plot force distribution plots to visualize the spanwise lift distribution, accumulated drag, or general force generated by selected surfaces.

UI Improvements

You can now use keyboard shortcuts for axis-aligned camera views. You can now press **X**, **Y**, or **Z** to quickly snap the camera to the corresponding axis view. Pressing the same key again toggles between the positive and negative directions (e.g., press X for +X, press X again for −X). These shortcuts are also displayed in the camera views menu for easy reference.

Bug Fixes

Code generation bug fixes related to geometry export.

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

New Server Side Rendering

We've introduced a new high-performance server-side rendering engine designed for interactive visualization of large meshes (>100 million + CVs). This enhanced renderer delivers significantly faster start-up times, performance (up to 120 FPS at 4k), interactivity (3D widgets) all while. using far less resources; and will become the default rendering option (for large meshes only) in an upcoming release. During this transition period, the previous server-side renderer remains available to ensure continuity. If you experience any issues with the new renderer, please reach out to our support team.

UI Improvements

Expressions are automatically validated in the UI when invalid expressions are input.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with geometry code generation when converting colors to tags, ensuring metadata from CAD tools

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

Shape Mirroring in Refinement Region Panel

You can mirror shapes directly in the refinement region property panel. This enhancement allows you to quickly flip shapes horizontally or vertically without leaving the current UI, making it easier to work with symmetric designs and complex geometries.

Added open option in the mesh table

Now you can open meshes from the mesh table in geometries using the "open" option in the menu. Alternatively, you can double click on the mesh row if it's completed.

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

Periodic Pair Detection

Simplified periodic transforms by adding the ability to automatically deduce rotation angles and translation distances directly from your surface selection.

Generate SDK Code from Your Setup

Now you can generate SDK code that instantly recreates your current mesh and simulation configurations. This feature captures your exact mesh settings, solver parameters, and stopping conditions.

Named Variables

Define parameters once and apply them across your entire project. With Named Variables, you can create expressions for flow conditions, geometry modifications, and solver settings that update automatically when values change. Use variable sets to quickly switch between different configurations.

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

2D Plot Axis Controls

You can now specify numerical values for the ranges of the y and x axis for the 2D plot window.

Enhancements

  • Improved Stability for Mesh Adaptation We have introduced safety limits on mesh scaling. The system now uses the LMA schedule's maximum CV count to cap interim mesh sizes for performance improvements.

Bug Fixes

  • General robustness and performance improvements.​

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

Volume-Specific Initial Conditions

You can now set custom initial conditions (such as pressure, velocity, and temperature) for individual volumes rather than applying them globally. This allows for more precise control over the starting state of specific zones in your simulation, and is available for both fluid and heat physics.

Automated Wall Treatment for Mixing Plane Gaps

To improve simulation stability, the solver now automatically treats small gaps or misalignments at mixing plane interfaces as walls. These areas will automatically inherit the physical settings and motion of the nearest viscous wall. Grid velocity is based on the motion of the volume.

Note: This feature is intended for minor geometric corrections; for the best accuracy, ensure your interface regions are well-aligned during meshing.

Enhancements

  • Add support for GPT-5.2, Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro. You should notice better, more reliable responses from the AI Assistant - especially for API/SDK code generation.

Bug Fixes

  • We fixed an issue where some variables were not available in DOE for advanced features.
  • We have fixed an issue where the CAD import process would occasionally hang indefinitely.
