Announcing the release of SonoAnalyzer Pro, OE and Free, all now at version 1.7.1. These versions provide some bug-fixes and one significant improvement to Pro models: Contour displays within the SonoAnalyzer display window.
As for other Pro features, SonoAnalyzer OE and Free (the latest versions only) have limited access. Users of these versions can view contour plots of the results after analysis on the full version.
Upgrade is recommended. Further details are shown below.
Announcing the release of SonoAnalyzer Pro, OE and Free, all now at version 1.7.0. These are built for Windows 64-bit (all previous releases were 32-bit) and include several bug-fixes and improvements. As an upgrade to the Pro cylindrical-axial models with stepped / conical / exponential / user-defined external profiles and optional internal hole, new versions are introduced that also includes an optional internal "core" (simple cylindrical or profiled, like the hole) which may be of a different material. As for all Pro models, SonoAnalyzer OE and Free (latest versions) can load and view results files but cannot perform new analyses of this type.
By combining multiple elements with profiled cores it is possible, for the first time, to analyze sonotrodes with screw-on tips and sandwich-construction ultrasonic transducers, as in the image to the right. Certain limitations are inherent to this type of analysis however - please see the updated Pro-models manual page for full details.
Upgrade is strongly recommended. Further details are shown below.
I'm just in the process of updating the Power Ultrasonics website to Drupal 7, and at the same time moving it to a new server. This site (sonoanalyzer.com) will follow on shortly afterwards.
Apologies in advance for any disruption to services - I am trying to minimise issues but there's always something unexpected. Clients: if you find any problems with the website or the SonoAnalyzer software please let me know through the usual channels.
There was a build error in version 1.6.6, leaving out support for non-English, non-European locales which resulted in a program crash for some users. To overcome this I've reissued SonoAnalyzer Pro, OE and Free as version 1.6.7. The programs are unchanged except for the addition of some support files so if you have version 1.6.6 installed and working then there's no need to upgrade.
For anyone using an earlier version, upgrading is recommended.
Announcing the release of SonoAnalyzer Pro, OE and Free, all now at version 1.6.6. This update includes fixes for several minor bugs in the user-interface and one (more serious) bug in the animation display for certain ranges of dimensions in the OE stepped sonotrode models. A new "Nodal lengths" output has also been added to the results of the latest OE hollow sonotrode models. Upgrade is strongly recommended. Further details are shown below.
The initial release of SonoAnalyzer Free version 1.6.4 was missing some files from the setup package. A new setup.exe file has now been added to the site, designated version 1.6.4a. The program itself is identical - the only change is the addition of some cache files.
If you have installed SonoAnalyzer Free during the 2 days before this announcement, please reinstall from the new package. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Announcing the release of SonoAnalyzer Pro and OE, both now at version 1.6.4. This update adds a convenient option for installing Free database models (as offered with SonoAnalyzer Free). Upgrade is optional. Further details are shown below.
Announcing the release of SonoAnalyzer Free, version 1.6.4. This update includes some bug-fixes and several improvements to convenience and usability. Upgrade is recommended for existing users. More details below.
