New users joining Coolit ranks include Cisco, PEI, and Luoyang Optoelectronics. Cisco Systems, Inc. is the largest developer and supplier of networking for the Internet, while PEI Electronics is a leader in the design and manufacture of advanced defense electronics. Luoyang Optoelectronics, a major R&D center in China, has purchased perpetual Coolit licenses to support its efforts in temperature-sensitive, high-precision optical electronics.
We have also gained two new Coolit distributors. New Technology and Services of St. Petersburg is our new representative in Russia. NTS is a leading CFD consulting company staffed by experienced CFD engineers with advanced degrees. Horizon Engineering Systems will be servicing Coolit customers in India. Horizon also handles Cadkey and Algor software. |

We have just released Coolit v. 4.50, which contains
many new features some of which were suggested by our
customers. Two of these features are discussed below.
The new release provides important improvements in
both the user interface and the solver technology
making it easier to use, more versatile, more
accurate and faster to obtain solutions to your
thermal problems. A detailed description of
implemented features is found in Release Notes
available to Coolit users. |

When you build a batch of similar cases, for example, when optimizing a design, it is important to order the case queue, so that cases can be started from a restart file of the previously run case. You can save additional time by arranging cases, so that the easier cases run first (e.g. cases with less power, slower fans etc.) and more difficult cases are restarted from them. |

You can move up and down the object’s hierarchy without opening the Objects Manager. To move down the objects list use the Tab key; to go up – Shift Tab. To open complex objects, press Page Down, to collapse – Page up. (For these shortcuts to work, your Objects Manager must be closed.) To navigate an open Objects Manager, use the up and down arrow keys to move up and down the list. Use the right arrow to open complex objects and the left arrow to collapse them. |

The new parallel solver, which was available in beta version for the past 3 months, has been released as part of v. 4.50. The solver detects your processor configuration and runs either in a single or multiprocessor mode. On dual Pentium computers speed improvements up to 1.8 times can be expected. The parallel solver is offered as a free upgrade to all current Coolit users. |

, can be used to model
virtually any 3D object. Specifically one can now use
it to build spherical objects, which was not possible
in previous versions. Coolit also provides now a
spherical cap object, 
, to facilitate that task.
Another new object built of tetrahedrons is a
pyramid,
