  • content:

    • Optimize click Run to pop up a Resource pop-up window
    • Optimize expression validation logic
    • Optimize the logic of renaming global variables
    • Optimize progress bar display
    • Optimize some function prompt information
    • The default value of FDTD adapts according to the size of the structure
    • RulerUnit Scale Value Range[0.001,1000]
    • Farfield/Overlapdoes not require the operation of Solver and can be run directly
    • Optimize the error messages for common errors in DDM
    • Import doping supports file formats such a .txt/.dat
    • The Charge Monitor and other results in SDK support the Save As function, which enables the solution of charge carriers and the import of the complete process of model solving in one script
    • Improve the display logic of non input parameter values at the interface of electrical materials

  • New features added

    • Right click on Version to add Delete results only function
    • Object Tree supports right-click Delete
    • Add Apply in All Directions to FDE/FDTD/EME Boundary Conditions
    • After clicking Run on the Ribbon menu, a Stop function has been added
    • Add Animate verification to Sweet
    • Add Boundary Conditions setting to View Option
    • Object Tree adds Copy and Paste
    • New GUI interface TFLN/APD simulation cases
    • Add TFLN/APD simulation support and case studies in SDK
    • Add Doping Monitor and support Doping Monitor

  • Correction

    • Fix the issue of preventing pop-up windows from closing when running tasks such as FDE/Overlap
    • Fix the issue where Global Options do not support global variables
    • Fix invalid settings for Tolerance Relax, Relative Tolerance, and Divergence Factor parameters in DDM.

  • Remaining defects

    • Occasional engineering errors using undo/redo
    • EME Index Monitor does not support Y normal/Z normal
    • When the installation path is too deep or the project file name is too long, simulation failure may occur due to the Windows longest path (260 characters) limit.
    • Structures made of the same material have different colors from a CAD perspective
    • The Mesh grid display of Monitor is not aligned with the mode field
    • Global variables do not support uppercase letters and underscores
    • Occasional result file opening failure
    • SDK show 3D occasional error
    • The SDK Structure setting does not verify whether the tilt angle is self crossing, and opening it in GUI will result in an error
    • Occasional simulation progress shows 100% stuck, and the project needs to be manually stopped and restarted
    • EME Profile Monitor result error
    • The mode field csv coordinates generated by SDK are offset by half of the grid
    • Not supporting the Windows 11 professional workstation version
    • SDK does not support extracting the results of Doping Monitor after simulation ends
    • When importing a larger modex file from Data Space and switching to CAD, it may cause CAD to become blank
    • The Preview in Transform occasionally doesn't work
    • Part of the CAD display shows too many decimal places
    • EME Sweep occasionally failed to initiate a task and needs to be rerun
