🚀 TCAE 25.03 – New Release Announcement!

We are excited to introduce TCAE 25.03, packed with new features, enhancements, and optimizations across TCFD, TFEA, and TOPT. Besides hundreds of small improvements and bug fixes, this version brings improved usability, better client-server integration, enhanced reporting, and new compatibility features.

What’s New in TCAE 25.03?

🔹 General Improvements

✅ Enhanced Client-Server Functionality – We’ve rigorously tested all combinations of Windows-Linux to improve stability and performance.
✅ Python Execution in Windows – Running Python scripts on Windows is now smoother and more reliable.
✅ Improved PDF Reports – The formatting has been refined for better readability and clarity.

TCFD – Computational Fluid Dynamics

✅ Optimized Cylindrical Background Mesh Visualization – A more efficient and accurate rendering of cylindrical mesh structures.
✅ New CFturbo – TCAE Interface – Seamless integration with CFturbo, including support for the new *.cfturbo-tcae file format.
✅ Enhanced Mesh Check System – Simulations will not start if the mesh quality is significantly incorrect, preventing invalid results.
✅ Updated Warnings Policy – More refined warning messages for better debugging and user guidance.
✅ Progress Bar Redesign – A new look for better simulation tracking.
✅ Courant Number (CFL) in Transient Reports – More detailed transient flow analysis with CFL/Courant number tracking.
✅ Fixed Special Characters in Stream Paths – Improved graph rendering in TCFD reports.

TFEA – Finite Element Analysis

✅ New Component Connections for FEA Meshes – More flexible and accurate FEA mesh handling.

TOPT – Optimization

✅ Updated Interface for External Optimization Software – Smoother integration with third-party optimization tools (DAKOTA, …).
✅ Improved Logic for Failed Simulations – More robust handling of failed simulation cases for better automation and recovery.
