• Plugin update for Rhino 8 (will not work with Rhino 7)
• Auto and Manual mode to the solvers: a new Boolean input to each solver to control if it solves automatically or requires manual intervention. See automation for more information and Ex-6: Automation of a variable geometry heat sink for example files.
• Support for List input for easily specifying a large number of loads, or composite plies with different orientations, for example. More information can be seen at Using lists for Intact components.
• Allow material as input to sampler block, to allow sampling multi-material assemblies. For up to date information on this component block see Solution Sampler.
• When reading an archived solution, display glyphs to indicate the boundary conditions
• Pretty print simulation scenario configuration for archived solutions

• Support for Orthotropic materials with a vast database of Composites and Wood materials. See Supported Materials for more instructions and Ex-B4: Static Simulation of a Composite Motor Mount and Orthotropic Laminate Plate Stress Analysis for example files.
• New Sliding Boundary Conditions that constrain motion normal to a surface and only allow sliding along the surface. Use it to apply rotational sliding on a cylindrical face. See Sliding Boundary Condition for instructions and Ex-8: Cylindrical Sliding Boundary Conditions for example files.
• Now you can apply Hydrostatic pressure load to model varying pressure with the depth of fluid for your marine and other applications. See Hydrostatic Loads for instructions and Ex-9: Hydrostatic Loading Conditions for example files.
• Unit system bug fixes and enhancements: see the correct unit in the panel attached to custom material blocks. Right-clicking on blocks with units will now show the appropriate unit for the block instead of the default unit system.

• Improvements to Units handling. (Now specify units independently to, for example, loading condition blocks)
• Support for VDB Models. An example problem can be found here.
• Specify number of CPU threads for the solver to use
• Free-Free Modal Simulation
• Displacement Boundary Conditions for partial and non-homogeneous boundary conditions
• Custom thermal material block
• Solver Settings block now uses cell size if resolution and cell size are both defined.
• Added warning if visualization block is unable to read the solution after solving.
• Analytics are now collected. Details can be found in permission page during installation.
• Panels can now be connected to blocks for additional information (see video below).
