2.10. Version 5.8 (2022/07/11)

New Features

  • Assemblies are now supported in Aria

  • Using the previous guess during radiosity solves should result in improved performance; see the user manual for more details

  • Added thermal expansion term in Coussy porosity model

  • Added ability to use postprocessed fields in boundary conditions across equation systems

Bug Fixes

  • Fix bug in line search that ignored other nonlinear acceptance criteria

  • Bug fix for NAN in Bingham WLF viscosity model

Upcoming Deprecations (will warn in 5.8)

  • The use of postprocess FLUX_TYPE for EQ is no longer supported, use postprocess FLUX_TYPE of equation EQ instead to better distinguish between postprocessors that operate on equations vs expressions.

  • Several unused ChemEq solver parameters have been deprecated. These commands have been unused and ignored for several releases.

  • The EXP_DECAY density model has been deprecated. Use a scalar string function as a replacement.

  • The output from the Time Derivative = Calculated expression has been changed from ddt_something to dt_something. Both outputs will be produced in 5.8 but in 5.10 only the dt_ output will be present.
