PreonLab 7.1.0: Particle-Based CFD Simulation Software PreonLab 7.1.0 is the latest release of FIFTY2 Technology’s particle-based CFD simulation software, released on April 30, 2026 . This version introduces a new Virtual Wind Tunnel for airflow generation, significant advancements in thermal solver performance, and extensive workflow improvements based on customer feedback . Key New Features Virtual Wind Tunnel (Integrated FVM Solver) A new capability that uses an integrated Finite Volume Method (FVM) solver to generate steady and transient airflows directly within PreonLab . Designed to accelerate early-stage vehicle soiling studies by significantly shortening the feedback loop between airflow generation and design iteration, while reducing reliance on external tools . Higher-Order Thermal Solver Upgrades The thermal solver introduced in the previous version...
PreonLab 6.2.8 is a meshless, particle-based simulation software developed by FIFTY2 Technology (now part of AVL) for advanced multiphysics applications, including fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid-structure interactions (FSI). This minor update in the 6.2 series builds on the core enhancements of version 6.2, focusing on stability improvements, bug fixes, and minor refinements to GPU acceleration and solver performance. It supports a unified representation of fluids and solids using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), enabling simulations of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, multiphase flows, and deformable bodies without meshing complexities. The software is ideal for automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and consumer goods industries, offering rapid model setup and high-fidelity results for applications like vehicle suspension dynamics, blood flow modeling, and snow interaction.
