SonoAnalyzer Pro beta - version 1.4.6 released

Announcing the release of SonoAnalyzer Pro beta version 1.4.6. This is a 60-day trial version available free of charge to all clients who have purchased SonoAnalyzer OE (annual or one-month license) or SonoAnalyzer Pro pre-release.

This is a bug-fix release, addressing a problem that prevented the use of a local CalculiX install with the new Pro FEA models. It also fixes a minor display bug where the status bar at the foot of the SonoAnalyzer program window could be partially hidden on program startup. (On affected versions the simple workaround is to resize the window after starting the program).

I was hoping this release would include profiled interior holes for the cylindrical sonotrode models, but with the expiry of the previous version rapidly approaching this is unfortunately not yet ready. It should be included in the next release, soon.

Version expiry

Version 1.4.6 was built on 21 May 2014 and will expire 20 July 2014.
