What's new in 25.1.0728

What's New This release adds further support for CONTAM features, alongside a flurry of User Experience Improvements. This version of Ventus is designed for CONTAM version 3.4.0.6 and uses version 21.0.2+13 of the OpenJDK Java VM. Additional Flow Element Support Continuing with our mission of supporting CONTAM features, Ventus 2025.1 adds support for several new Fan and Forced Flow, Cubic Spline, and Two-way Flow Flow Elements. These non-Powerlaw Model Flow Elements are powerful tools to model relationships between pressure drop and mass flow. Example results of one performance curve type Flow Path. These new elements enable Ventus to model a broader range of airflow scenarios. New Fan Elements allow for modeling of different types of constant flow fans, the Performance Curve Flow Element allows for modeling of variable speed fan devices, and the new Two-Way Flow Elements allow for higher fidelity modeling of large openings. See the Flow Elements section of the Ventus User Manual for details about these new Flow Elements. You can also view the new Fan and Forced Flow tutorial for hands-on learning with some of these elements. New Find Advanced search In previous versions of Ventus, objects could be difficult to find in large models. Ventus 2025.1 introduces the Find Advanced search dialog, allowing searches for objects with specific properties. The new Find Advanced Search is modeless, allowing users to edit the model while the search dialog is active. Any edits to object properties immediately updates the search results dialog. Example usage of the *Find Advanced* Search D...
