We see that \u003Cstrong>XFEM4U\u003C\u002Fstrong> is being used more and more. We also see that the models are getting bigger and more complex. Fine, of course. The solver we used until now was already quite fast compared to competing programs, but now we have built in a new solver that is truly “mind-blowing” fast. We are therefore very proud of this new release. You will understand that. But most of all, we hope it makes \u003Cstrong>you\u003C\u002Fstrong> happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Depending on the model, this new solver achieves tremendous acceleration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To illustrate: In the fictitious model below with \u003Cstrong>15,633\u003C\u002Fstrong> plate elements, \u003Cstrong>8\u003C\u002Fstrong> analysis are calculated. (2 load cases and 6 load combinations).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the previous solver, this took 11 min 38 seconds. The new solver does the same thing but in 42 seconds.
