New FlexPDE 8 Features
Here is a list of the new features in version 8!
Enhanced Internet Licensing Options
Auto-release option, multi-seat option, online access/management to license state.
OpenGL Plots
New selectors for mesh, contour, and surface plots using OpenGL.
Mesh Reconnect
Automatic mesh reconnection for moving meshes.
Rotational Extrusion
Extrude in radial angle instead of in Z. Makes conversion of 2D cylindrical models to 3D a snap!
New Distance Function
Edge distance function to calculate the distance along a named path.
Explicit Variables
Set any variable to an explicit expression in specific regions.
SVG Graphics Export
Export any plot in Scalable Vector Graphics format.
Generalized Periodicity
Periodic Map now allows variable exchange. Great for exchanging vector components.
More Hyperbolic Functions
Addition of COTH, SECH, and CSCH hyperbolic functions.
Complex Eigenvalues
Solve models that produce complex eigenvalue solutions.
New Utility Functions
New pseudo FLOOR and CEILING functions as alternatives to Max and Min, that provide a continuous derivative.
Many Internal Improvements
Improved TRANSFER file format, improved error measure, improved parameter/equation summaries in debug file,
and improved diagnostics for discontinuous Jacobians interfering with Newton convergence.
