Siemens has released Simcenter Flightstream 26.1, a panel-method CFD software update for aerospace and marine engineers. Key updates include:
- A vortex shedding boundary condition for predicting leading-edge vortex lift on sharp and swept configurations
- Component-level separation modeling for stores, pods, and landing gear
- Automated solver sweeps with per-run post-processing scripts
- Direct export of boundary-layer and probe-point data
- CAD edges transferring directly into virtual curves for geometry prep
- A modernized Transfinite Interpolation Mesher for local mesh control
- A scriptable aeroelastic toolbox with mesh morphing for coupled simulations
