is enabled in it. - Improved: Preview window in Physics
Jump to a specific domain by clicking on it in the preview window. Hovering on
boundary reveals it in the list, and vice versa ('From CAD' only). - Fix: Time steps were missing if ParaView was opened with saved state file

Enable multiple Variables simultaneously to change geometry parameters
directly from CENOS and define simulations with multiple scanning speeds. - New data in .csv file
Inductance, total power and other values now calculated in .csv. - Improved meshing in 'From CAD' workflow
Updated meshing algorithms now provide more reliable meshing of different
geometries. - License information

Updated: Carbon Steels AISI 1020 and 1045. - Slice angle
When geometry is a 3D slice, enter its angle for automatic calculation of
mean values - Choosing post-values
It is possible to check/uncheck, which additional values to obtain after
calculation finishes, e.g, Joule heat, active power, permeability. Disabling
unnecessary values reduces overall time of simulation. Click the gear icon
on the Visualisation block to configure.

In some situations, merging domains or boundaries inside the "From CAD" view
led to unphysical calculation results - Save log in case folder
