ENGYS, a global leader in open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions, is excited to announce the release of HELYX version 4.3.0. This update marks a significant step forward in ENGYS’ commitment to delivering advanced, scalable and user-friendly CFD tools.
This release also features new versions of the add-on modules HELYX-Coupled, HELYX-Adjoint and HELYX-Marine to take full advantage of all the new capabilities in HELYX 4.3.0.
What’s New in HELYX 4.3.0?
Version 4.3.0 introduces a range of new features and enhancements designed to empower engineers with greater flexibility and efficiency:
- Unified Solver Framework Consolidation: Incorporation of multiphase flow solvers and models into the Unified Solver Framework, offering unparalleled flexibility and modularity for multi-physics simulations.
- Dynamic Multi-Motion Library: Support for multiple motions (reference frames) in a single model, simplifying the setup of complex dynamic simulations.
- Enhanced Geometry Tab: Refactored CAD reader based on Open Cascade, delivering up to 100x faster reading speeds and improved surface accuracy.
- Advanced Mesh Capabilities: New options for near-wall prism layers and a refactored snapping algorithm for better accuracy on region boundaries.
- Boundary Conditions and Solver Enhancements: Extended Non-Conformal Coupling (NCC) for dynamic meshes, a new RANS atmospheric boundary condition, and a refactored Euler-Euler multi-phase solver.
- Visualization Innovations: Introduction of the EDF image format for runtime visualization and the ability to dynamically scale visualized fields post-simulation.
HELYX-Hydro Deprecation
The HELYX-Hydro add-on has been formally deprecated with this release in favour of a new enhanced Volume of Fluid (VOF) solver integrated within HELYX. In addition to new and more advanced free-surface flow functionalities, the new improved VOF solver also includes all the previous functionalities found in Hydro to ensure a smooth transition for existing users.
