- Corrected a problem with number formatting where a decimal separator instead of a space was used as thousands separator.
- CAD fixing with the remove small feature tool, simplify part representation tool or the repair edge tool could have resulted in large faces being removed if the faces were inside solid regions and not touching any of the region boundaries.

- Improved the accuracy of windscreen work surface snapping to allow using point entry to create surface lines.
- Resolved an assertion that failed upon geometry modification of a wire referenced by a wire port, where the modification results in the wire becoming an edge.
- Prevented certain actions on child geometry parts through the GUI and API, including converting to primitive, exploding, reversing of normals and unlinking the mesh.
- Added validation to prevent an assertion failing when attempting to path sweep geometry along a disjoint path.
- Added validation to prevent the deletion of a local mesh setting definition that is used in the local mesh settings of a part.
- Resolved an issue where a view with two start pages could have resulted if a model failed to load, with the view being split into two sections. The application had to be restarted to return the view to normal.
- Saving the model is no longer part of the protect and unprotect model feature.
- Protected model validation incorrectly used solution methods on parts that are not root-level parts and could have incorrectly stated that a model cannot be validated.

Application Programming Interface

Feature
- Prevented dialog windows related to geometry conversion from appearing when the conversion is performed through the API.

Salient Features in Feko
- The flexibility of Feko solvers has been extended to support hybrid simulations where faceted UTD is used to solve some parts of the model and other parts are solved with the MoM. Both fully coupled and uncoupled simulations are supported, though dielectrics in the MoM region are not yet supported. Receiving antennas (defined using far field, near field or spherical modes) may also be included in the simulation. Additional optical effects as well as higher-order effects are added to the faceted UTD enabling more accurate simulations for many cases

- Improvements in the application of shared memory and low-level MPI optimisations in the MLFMM solution result in improved parallel efficiency (both runtime and memory) for highly distributed simulations (across multiple nodes).

Salient Features in WinProp
- The calculation of Doppler shift due to movement or rotation of objects around any 3D axis has been added.

- Higher accuracy of solutions using the SBR (Shooting Bouncing Rays) solver is achieved by using a hybrid ray tracing approach which employs path verification from standard ray tracing.
- When viewing radio-coverage results in a 3D view, transmitter antenna patterns can be displayed - allowing for easier visual verification and interpretation of the results.
- The API has been extended to support the generation of 5G beam patterns as well as automation of FM-CW post processing.

Salient Features in newFASANT
- A new workflow has been added to get accurate and fast simulation results for even more complex and realistic multi layer radomes with frequency selective surface (FSS) structures in newFASANT. The radome and FSS is first characterised in terms of reflection/transmission and is then applied as a material to the relevant surface when configuring the full radome analysis.

- The <keyword keyref="method_mom_acronym"/> module now supports the usage of the Characteristic Basis Function Method (CBFM) for non-RCS calculations.
- Near fields calculated using Feko solvers on a Cartesian boundary in *.efe/*.hfe format may now be imported as a simulation source.

True Hybridization
In some instances a single solver might still not be enough to solve a challenging problem. FEKO offers industry leading hybridization of different solvers, combining the beneficial characteristics. This allows more efficient and accurate analysis of multi-scale problems, that are both complex and electrically large.

Solver Accuracy and Performance
Extensive validation (analytical solutions, measurement, cross validation) of the numerical methods and enhancements in FEKO is carried out to ensure the accuracy of our approaches. Solver performance and parallel scaling is continually optimized to achieve leading computational efficiency.

HWU License Value
As part of the HyperWorks suite, FEKO can be used with other products (e.g. HyperMesh or HyperStudy) at no extra cost. This is the value of the patented HyperWorks unit licensing scheme.

Specialized Solutions
FEKO offers the only commercial CMA solver. Furthermore, specialized numerical solutions for bidirectional cable coupling, windscreen antennas and large finite arrays reduce computational requirements. Model decomposition workflows for classical antenna placement problems enable equivalent representation of the transmitting/receiving antenna.

User Interface and User Experience
Intuitive and easy to use User Interface designed to simplify main workflows and enrich the user experience.
