 +==== Update: July 14 2025 ==== 
 +<WRAP center round box 90%> 
 +**Changes:** 
 +  * **Reaction forces:** Add a "Loads" output to Stress Simulation block which outputs the reaction forces and moments, and the applied forces and moments, to better perform load balance checks on a simulation 
 +  * **Improve the material input validation,** for example to prevent a thermal material being used as input to a stress simulation 
 +  * **Allow unit system to be specified for displacement boundary condition,** instead of using the document's unit system 
 +  * **Create simulations in an asynchronous task,** which is killed when the solution expires, to prevent hundreds of simulations from starting and running 
 +  * Improve support of Rhino geometry types 
 +  * Display a timer showing how long simulation has been running 
 +  * Provide better solver setting defaults by using an iterative solver 
 +  * and more
  
 +**Bug fixes:**
 +  * When using a list of loads, apply the selected unit system to all loads
 +  * Fix units in display of temperature field
 +  * and more

 +
 +==== Update: Nov 5 2024 ====
 +<WRAP center round box 90%>
 +  * Added topology optimization with a new LevelOpt block. [[https://intact-solutions.com/intact_docs/IS4GH_manual.html|See documentation here]]
 +  * Improve the error message when no simulation results are available for visualization
 +  * Correctly display the direction of vector load glyphs
 +  * Fix issue when applying a single displacement boundary condition to multiple boundaries
