HFWorks 2017 is a Gold Certified add-in to SolidWorks.

This is a major new release of the software that incorporates several new features at the meshing and pre-processing, solving and post-processing levels. 

Below are some of the new capabilities that have been added in this release to provide users with more comprehensive simulation options and a more complete set of results.

Solvers

• High order elements support ( High Accuracy study option)

• Enhancements to thermal coupling simulation. 
  •Improved thermal solver (previous versions)

• Enhancements to Parametric Analysis. 
  •Importing parameters from a file.
  •Thermal coupled parametric analysis

• New and faster Multi-core solvers. 

• Auto compute dielectric breakdown. 

• Added Material frequency dependent feature to S-parameters and Antannas analysis

• Added continue run option for coupled thermal and parametric without losing existing results

Meshing

• Results probing using an imported mesh file.

Viewing Results

• Viewing partial results during parametric solving

• 3D Plot: Animate section vs. position or orientation (move the section plane) 

• 3D Plot: Animate Iso clip plot vs. iso values 

• 3D Plot:Transparent model and vector overlay 

• 3D Plot: Plot mesh,Iso line and vectors using single color

• 3D Plot: Vector plot on surface, use constant vector size

• 3D Plot: Export modes, frequencies or parametric plot results to excel sheet (All modes ,frequencies or all scenarios)

• 3D Plot: Ability to create plot in radial or cartesian direction
•  
• 2D Plot: Added curve operations like function and expression plotting

Usability

• Convert Boundary conditions from one type to another.

• Added new materials option called "Frequency Dependent"

• Enhancements to HFWorks Options and User interface operations
