Here we go! 🎉 We are so excited to announce the release of #PreonLab 6.2! It is packed with advanced features and performance improvements to push the boundaries of multi-physics simulations. With each new release we continuously refine PreonLab, adding powerful functionalities and enhancing existing capabilities to make it the ultimate simulation tool. Here’s what this version has in store for you. ➡️ 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹: We are taking our existing car suspension model (CSM) to the next level! The new Full Car #Suspension Model (FCSM) now computes deflection forces per wheel, considering not just fluid forces but also acceleration, deceleration, and weight shifts. This sophisticated upgrade enables more precise simulations for #automotive applications, like fast water #wading, enhancing the overall performance and accuracy. ➡️ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹: PreonLab 6.2 builds on several important enhancements across key areas for multiphysics simulations. #Thermodynamics, #multiphase, and snow features have been refined to improve accuracy and stability. Notable improvements include a new #thermal sensor, an updated convective boundary condition, lateral adhesion for #snow, improved snow boundary handling, and more stable multiphase interfaces - each contributing to elevating these features to a new level. ➡️ 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿: For those looking to simulate fluid-structure interactions, we are introducing an experimental linear elastic #deformable solver. This first step into the realm of solid deformations caused by fluid interactions, opens new possibilities for applications that require the consideration of deformations under the load of external forces. ➡️ 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: The latest release includes the introduction of the Carreau-Yasuda model for simulating non-Newtonian fluids and #GPU support for the rigid body solver. Enhanced post-processing capabilities are now available with the new Calculation Objects feature, improved options for the #pathlines sensor, and the ability to visualize the Q-criterion for more detailed flow analysis.

Season's Greetings from #FIFTY2! ☃️🎄   As the year comes to a close, we want to extend our heartiest holiday wishes to all Preoneers around the world!   Here’s to celebrating the holiday season with joy and looking forward to an exciting year ahead together. 🥂   Happy Holidays and a wonderful start to the new year! ✨

It's always great to see what applications #PreonLab is used for! Thanks to Jakob Košir and T&T Aircraft Propulsion Systems for this cooperation 🤝

We're continuously exploring and developing new features behind the scenes.   During the recent release event, we unveiled a sneak peek of our initial steps into turbulence modeling with Vortex Visualization using the Q-Criterion - a commonly used method for visualizing coherent vortex structures.   Starting with #PreonLab 6.2, users can color fluid particles based on computed Q-values, enabling the detection and identification of vortices within a 3D flow domain. This feature is especially useful for visualizing vortices in simulations, such as the delta wing scenario showcased in the video below.   We’re thrilled about the possibilities this feature opens up and look forward to advancing even further in this area.

Last week, the #FIFTY2 marketing team came together for three days of reflection, planning, and brainstorming. Since some of our team members live quite far away, it’s rare for us to all meet face-to-face, making this time an even more special opportunity to align for the year ahead. As a reward for our hard work, we ended one evening with some fun at the bowling alley! 🎳 Here’s to a successful 2025! 🚀

The Full Car Suspension Model (FCSM) in #PreonLab 6.2 calculates the deflection forces for each wheel of the vehicle. Beyond accounting for fluid forces, it incorporates acceleration, deceleration, and weight shifts, delivering a realistic #simulation of road interactions. Check out the video to discover how this new #suspension model captures vehicle motion through potholes and speed bumps with precision. Best of all, the FCSM is completely built into PreonLab. There’s no need for extra software or licenses, making it easier than ever to set up and run your simulations. Give it a go with PreonLab 6.2!

🌏 Greetings from Tokyo!   🇯🇵 This week, our Managing Director Markus Ihmsen is representing #FIFTY2 at the AVL #Simulation Conference Japan 2024 in Tokyo.   📈 With the growth of our presence in Japan this visit is all about strengthening relationships and gaining deeper insights into local needs.   🗣️ Markus is not only attending the conference, where he’s presenting and engaging with attendees, but he’s also meeting with several of our customers across Japan to ensure we continue to support their success.   📷 Check out the pictures for some impressions from Tokyo! Some 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 be edited. 😉

🍝 A fun new simulation in #PreonLab 6.2 for all the pasta fans out there!   The latest PreonLab release introduces a new linear elastic solver as an experimental feature, a Carreau-Yasuda model for non-Newtonian fluid #simulation, and notable updates to the #Thermal Solver. This video showcases all three features working together in a single simulation: the #pasta is modeled using the new linear elastic solver, the sauce employs the Carreau-Yasuda model to capture its non-Newtonian behavior, and the thermal solver simulates the heat transfer as the warm sauce gently heats the pasta on the plate.   Bon Appétit!

With #PreonLab, we strive to deliver an all-in-one simulation tool that is capable of integrating a variety of physics features into your simulations. If you joined us for the PreonLab 6.2 Release Event a few weeks ago, you already know that version 6.2 continues to advance this vision, introducing powerful new #multiphysics capabilities. For those who missed it, here’s one of the highlights: a tanker truck #simulation showcasing the integration of the new Full Car Suspension Model with a #multiphase (air and oil) system inside a baffled tank. The Full Car Suspension Model precisely simulates vehicle dynamics and road interactions, while the enhanced multiphase capabilities allow detailed analysis of tank #sloshing during acceleration and braking. This enables comprehensive evaluations of fluid forces acting within the #tank. You can measure these effects using force sensors connected to the desired vehicle components, and easily assess the impact on braking distances for the vehicle with distance sensors.   If you're curious about the computational time required for this simulation, it was completed in just 3 hours using a single Nvidia L40 GPU.

One of the key additions to PreonLab 6.2 is the new Full Car #Suspension Model (FCSM). Building on the existing Car Suspension Model (CSM), the FCSM takes it up a notch by calculating deflection forces for each wheel. It doesn’t just consider fluid forces - it also factors in acceleration, deceleration, and weight shifts, making it much more accurate for simulations like fast water #wading.   The best part? The FCSM is fully built into #PreonLab. There’s no need for extra software or licenses, so it’s easier than ever to set up and run your simulations. This upgrade doesn’t just improve accuracy - it also makes your workflow simpler and smoother for improved user experience. Install PreonLab 6.2 and give it a go!
