Elmer Studio v1.1.0

Portable bundles and installers for Windows, macOS and Linux. Elmer itself is installed separately (see the installation guide). macOS builds are unsigned: right-click > Open the first time.

What's new since 1.0.0

Modeling

• Several components per model (comp1.T), one-way couplings through operators
• Form an Assembly with identity pairs (continuity for heat, electrostatics, currents, coefficient-form PDE)
• Parameters with units checked against each setting, parameter table load/save
• Selections that follow geometry edits; study dependency graph with out-of-date marks

Mesh

• Boundary layers (2D and 2D axisymmetric)
• ElmerGrid as an alternative mesher for layouts of axis-aligned rectangles and blocks

Physics and studies

• Solid Mechanics: Time Dependent (Bossak) and Frequency Domain studies, Rayleigh damping
• Electrochemistry: total-current electrode control, deforming electrodes, migration, tertiary current distribution with species transport
• Streamline diffusion (SUPG) in Transport of Diluted Species
• OpenFOAM (blockMesh) as an alternative solver backend for laminar flow and conduction

Results

• Probes (domain, boundary, point, global) with a Probe Table and plot, updated while a transient runs
• Export > Animation (GIF or PNG sequence)

Desktop

• Widescreen/Regular layouts, ribbon folding, keyboard navigation, node error/warning marks, Recovery Files after a crash, model files with a checked SHA-256 manifest
