Cobalt Version 2.0 Released

The release of Cobalt Version 2.0 includes the following enhancements:

  1. 1-DOF and 6-DOF Rigid-Body-Motion Modules
    Rigid-Body-Motion can now be performed using forces and moments to determine the motion of the grid
  2. Improvement to Viscous Flux Limiter
    This provides better stability in poor quality regions of grids
  3. Support for FieldView 8.2 format
    The new unstructured FieldView format allows split grid and results files.  If grid motion does not exist, split grid and results files will be written, otherwise they are combined into a single file
  4. Improved Arbitrary Motion
    A cubic-splined fit to arbitrary motion has been added.  This removes slope discontinuities present in previous versions
  5. Membrane Internal Boundary Condition
    A membrane is used to impose a planar wall internal to a grid.  This has been used to simulate an ocean boundary plane for use with ship motion
  6. Cobalt is now available for export outside of the United States
  7. Upgraded to FLEXlm 8.3
  8. Additional grid quality checks for Cartesian meshes
  9. Minor Bug Fixes
    Several fixes were implemented
