Symscape announced the latest version of Caedium (v5.2), with an improved heat transfer capability incorporating radiation and the option to create "bullet time" animations for particles.

According to the company, users can more accurately simulate heat transfer where radiant effects are significant with the new radiation option in Caedium. Select from either the Discrete Ordinance or P1 radiation models.

Users can also mimic the "bullet time" effect popularized in the Matrix movies; users can now freeze a particle animation and continue to move a camera.

Customers can also try the latest NVIDIA Tesla accelerators with the Caedium CUDA GPU linear solver option using CUDA 5.5.

Updates have been made to all Caedium subsystems, including Open Cascade, OpenFOAM, VTK and wxWidgets.
