VERSION 3.0 (September 2026)

• Improved robustness of room-temperature strength calculations for aluminium alloys in the T5 and T6 conditions.
• Improved description of thermodynamic and physical properties for cast aluminium alloys in the T5 and T6 conditions.
• Implemented calculation of high-temperature yield stress for aluminium alloys, general steels, and Ni- and NiFe-based superalloys.
• Added a heat treatment route for the calculation of thermodynamic, physical, and mechanical properties of general steels.
• Extended design space to include tempering temperature and tempering time as processing variables in the case of general steels (heat treatment route).
• Extended objective space to include stacking fault energy (for steels, Co, and
• Ni alloys) and gamma/gamma' mismatch (for Ni alloys only).
• Extended custom properties to allow expressions defined as a function of built-in properties.
• Added resizable data viewer window supporting multiple plots for side-by-side comparison.
• Added support for plotting constraints in addition to objective values.
• Added the ability to select multiple points in display charts.
• Added dialog to display key statistics for either the full dataset or a selection of points.
• Extended export functionality to allow output of data in tabular format.
• Removed check on element costs to allow for negative values.
• Updated default element costs with more recent values sourced from Wikipedia.
• Updated the thermodynamic and properties databases to match those included in JMatPro v16.0.
• Fixed calculation of single crystal stiffness coefficients and anisotropic Young's modulus via casting route.
• Fixed incomplete export caused by encoding of special characters when saving chart as image file using PDF, PS, and EPS formats.

VERSION 2.1 (November 2024)
