- Data file converter to translate PFC 5 data files into PFC 6 (please note that only a limited number of PFC 5 commands/FISH functions have been renamed for software interoperability)
- An update to PFC 5 now includes the ability to export PFC 5 save files into a format that can be restored directly by PFC 6
- PFC's graphics rendering engine has been upgraded
- Now compatible with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
- Integrated Help panel
- Integrated Technical Support Dialog
- Results files are save files stripped down to contain only user-specified data. These files:
- can be generated manually or automatically during cycling;
- are about 5% of the size of a full save file in the case of large models;
- are useful for sharing results with colleagues and clients and for archiving work; and
- simplify
post-processing (e.g., mass, automated bitmap generation for movie
generation across many results files over the course of modeling); but
- cannot be used to cycle the simulation any further (save files are needed for this as they retain the complete model state).
- New archiving system to provide save file compatibility across all future major versions (starting from Version 6)
- Python updated to version 3.6
- An updated material-modeling support package is available for PFC 6
- Now based on Visual Studio 2017 and QT5; provides Intel 2018 support
