| About Range Software package |
Software for engineering simulations.
Finite Element Analysis.
Able to solve problems including Heat-Transfer, Radiation, Stress-Strain, Porous Media Flow, Viscous Incompressible Flow - CFD.
Products available in demo version:
Element - Graphical User Interface - GUI. Allows the user to comfortably set up, solve and analyze the problem.
Material - Graphical User Interface - GUI. Allows the user to comfortably manage the material database.
Mesh - Tetrahedral mesh generator. Generates a 3D tetrahedral mesh from a surface triangular mesh.
Heat - Heat-transfer solver.
Potential - Flow through porous media solver.
Stress - Stress-strain solver.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.10.x.

| Latest Version: 1.5 stable |
NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS:
1. Problem solver:
* After successful and/or unsuccessful execution a message box is displayed.
- if successful option to load new results is provided
* Stress - Improved convergence and accuracy of the solver.
2. Geometry editing:
* Nodes:
o Level node - level the node to the surface
o Delete node - delete the node and the adjacent elements from the model
o Delete node and close hole - same as 'Delete node' but created hole will be closed with triangles
* Points:
o Auto mark points
o Mark point
* Lines:
o Create lines from surface edges
o Auto mark lines
o Mark line
* Faces:
o Auto mark faces - Improved algorithm (faster and more memory efficient)
o Mark faces - Improved algorithm (faster and more memory efficient)
o Close hole - Close the hole in the surface mesh
o Synchronize All Normals - Make all neighboring triangles face in the same direction.
- This is done automatically after each model import.
* Bodies:
o Auto mark bodies
o Mark body
3. View:
* Message boxes in 3D area contain icons
* Help messages are displayed on the screen
* Display boundary conditions - Instead of letter marks icons are used
* Display initial conditions - Instead of letter marks icons are used
4. Mesh generation:
* Error is displayed if model contain holes
* After successful and/or unsuccessful execution a message box is displayed.
- if successful option to load new mesh is provided
* Log file is produced.
BUG FIXES:
1. Geometry editing:
* Merge models - crash occurs if no model is loaded.
2. Mesh generation:
* On error during mesh generation execution window is not closed but stays visible so the error can be investigated.
3. GUI:
* Unable to pick nodes if element edges are displayed.
OTHER:
* New examples models were added and old ones were repaired.
* Improved tutorials and manuals.
