Improvements to ceiling grilles and cable cutouts
October 8, 2026: the result report went back to an earlier design, so jobs from that day on no longer get the rebuilt report or the updated energy section described below. The other changes in this release still apply. Ask us if you need to know which report a job’s results are in.
A ceiling grille or cable cutout drawn slightly off its ceiling or floor is now set in place before meshing, so it carries the airflow you gave it. Airflow through these openings, and the temperatures it feeds, can differ from earlier runs.
Improvements to how the mesh aligns objects
Can change results
When the mesher aligns objects on shared planes, each object now keeps its full thickness, and a model that is meshed again without gaps keeps the shapes you drew. Meshes can differ from earlier runs.
More consistent rounding in the report
Can change results
Numbers in the report are rounded more consistently, so some values can read slightly differently than in earlier reports.
Models with no cooling units now go through solver setup reliably.
The near-miss acceptance added on September 22 now also applies to models with no rack heat.
Updates to the report’s energy section
Can change results
The energy section now accounts for fan power and for heat through the walls more accurately. On models that enter a cooling COP, the PUE in the report can differ from earlier runs. On October 8, 2026, it was withdrawn: see the note under this release’s headline.
The result report is rebuilt. Its 3D view opens in your browser in place of the ANSYS viewer, with see-through baffles and an air-speed scale that covers all the air in the room. On October 8, 2026, it was withdrawn: see the note under this release’s headline.
