Range Software
Range Software is software for finite element analysis in engineering simulations. Its main features are support for heat transfer and radiation, linear stress-strain, ground water flow, 3D mesh generation, an intuitive GUI, and import and export functionality. The Range Software package contains several tools which helps the user to setup, solve, and analyze the engineering problem.

Recent releases

Changes: View related actions were grouped into one tool-bar for better accessibility. New mesh repair functions were added. All project files are archived into one compressed file. All user files and directories are now in one user directory, "[User home]/range-software". In the "record selector" dialog, the user can activate the "Auto Screen-Shot" check box and every time a new record is loaded, a screen shot will be taken automatically. Extremely high Joule's heat was fixed.

Changes: This release introduces a new electrostatics finite element solver. A shape (geometry) optimization algorithm was also introduced.
- 24 Jun 2008 12:34
Changes: This release features a improved convergence and accuracy of the solvers, lots of new functions for editing and repairing a geometry, help messages that are displayed on the screen, display of boundary/initial conditions, and an option to load a new mesh. New examples models were added and old ones were repaired. Tutorials and manuals were improved.

Changes: A new look is used for the application on Windows. Help messages were added in the element dialogs. Line elements can be created from surface edges. Line groups can be marked and automarked. In the boundary condition dialog, only applicable boundary conditions are shown. Some GUI actions are disabled if results are loaded. Lots of small fixes were done. The supported operating systems are MS Windows XP, MS Windows Vista, Linux Fedora 8, Linux OpenSUSE 10.3, and Linux Ubuntu 7.10.

Changes: This release supports unsteady boundary conditions (time-dependent), local coordinates for fixed displacement, and changed element type priority. It also added an advanced record selector, quick help, a dialog with a short description of the icons, keyboard short-cuts and a mouse control, crash detection and reporting, and a material database update (at first execution of the software).
