The method used to automatically partition the boundary of imported meshes in 3D has been improved. If you have an existing model, you can work with it without being affected. However, if you click the Import button of the
Import feature in the meshing sequence, the file is read again and the new partitioning method is used. The exception is if the
Import feature had
Boundary partitioning set to
Manual. In this case, the modified parameter values are preserved under the
Feature detection setting, which uses the same algorithm as in version 5.0.
If you have a Java® or MATLAB
® program that imports meshes, the number of geometric entities may have changed compared to older versions.
In version 5.2a, the Allow external process and libraries check box on the
Security page in the
Preferences dialog box is cleared by default to not allow applications to start external processes on the computer. The default setting in 5.0 is set to allow such external processes.
