Changed

  • Examples on the current features: all examples use hzAURA refinement and curved elements and are
    saved in the current file format. New in the examples: field plots on cut planes (waveguide post, coax,
    dipole, sphere, patch), a half dipole with a Perfect H symmetry plane next to the full one, a microstrip
    line with a grouped 0603 chip capacitor (Lumped RLC) as a DC block, a dipole sweep with saved fields for
    animations, 3D gain plots, and reports for impedance, gain cuts, antenna parameters and bistatic and
    monostatic RCS in dBsm. Files saved by 0.2.2 and earlier still open as before.
  • Tutorial: new steps for cut planes, field animations and GIF export, a half model with a symmetry
    plane (3.6) and a chip capacitor on a microstrip line (7); screenshots and numbers from the current
    version.
  • Solver Benchmark: the three projects of Tools > Solver Benchmark use hzAURA; the mesher comparison
    projects have an hzAURA variant next to each Local (Delaunay) one.

Fixed

  • Fillet on sheets: a fillet on a sheet (for example the patch of a patch antenna) made the whole object
    disappear, because the fillet only worked on solids. On a flat sheet it now rounds the corners at both ends
    of each selected edge. When a fillet or chamfer cannot be applied (for example a radius larger than the
    adjacent edges allow), the object stays unchanged and a message says why.

Windows installer (Hertzon-Setup-*.exe) and Linux package (Hertzon-*-linux.tar.gz).

Hertzon is built on EMerge, the open-source FEM solver by
Robert Fennis, which provides the finite-element core.
