Solver

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. entered the fast-growing system analysis and design market with the announcement of the Cadence Clarity 3D Solver, which delivers gold-standard accuracy with up to 10X faster simulation performance and unbounded capacity compared to legacy field solver technology.

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the release of SIMULIA CST Studio Suite 2025 SP1 is an advanced electromagnetic simulation software that offers a user-friendly interface and integrated solvers for High Frequency, Statics and Low Frequency, EDA and Electronics, EMC / EMI, Particle Dynamics, and Multi-Physics Thermal / FEA.

CST’s latest software release, CST STUDIO SUITE version 2012 and its multitude of powerful new features and functionality, can help engineers to streamline their workflows and shorten development cycles. The most significant development in this respect is System Assembly and Modeling.

Altair announced a new release of HyperWorks Solvers 2017, is a collection of finite element and multibody dynamics solvers for structural, fluid-dynamics and systems simulation. These solvers can be employed for simulation driven design as well as design optimization.

Convergent Science has released the highly anticipated new version of their computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, CONVERGE 3.0. CONVERGE 3.0 builds on previous versions with new features, enhancements, and expanded capabilities. One of the most notable enhancements in CONVERGE 3.0 is a dramatic improvement in scaling—users will see significant speedup when running the software on large numbers of processors.

SideFX has released a new sneak peek for Houdini 17, the next update to its 3D animation and FX software. Unlike its Siggraph demo, which focused on the new PolyDraw direct modelling system, it shows what looks to be the entire feature set, including UVs; animation; hair, fluids and dynamics simulation; and rendering.

The ESSS product team (part of CADFEM) is pleased to announce the availability of Rocky DEM 4.4. In this release delivers a totally new Solver Application Programming Interface (Solver API) based on the most-recent technology for customization and user experience integration. The result delivers unique usability, portability and, above all, solver performance.

Convergent Science has updated its CONVERGE CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software to version 2.4.21. As with all new versions, this release includes fixes to various user-reported issues from the previous release, providing an overall more stable experience.
