Version 5.2.0 - Simulation, Engineering Workflows & Collaboration

Version 5.2 expands Davinci’s engineering analysis capabilities while making CAD workflows, project collaboration, and automation more reliable.

Expanded simulation support across structural, dynamic, transient, thermal, fluid, fatigue, contact, acoustics, radiation, and environmental analysis
Added improved mesh quality and accuracy with second-order tetrahedral elements, adaptive meshing, and mesh-convergence reporting
Added expanded optics and STOP analysis, including telescope models, ray tracing, coronagraphs, deformable mirrors, stray light, wavefronts, PSF, and MTF results
Added clearer simulation setup, compilation, verification, and result reporting
Added interactive explorer panels for inspecting simulation results and comparing outputs across design studies

Improved assembly solving, mates, imported-part interfaces, collision checks, and assembly diagnostics
STEP imports now preserve detected geometric features to support more reliable assembly workflows
Added motion-study stages, tracked mechanisms, closed-path motion, pose playback, and stored motion artifacts
Improved joint control, motion-study validation, compile error reporting, and CAD authoring feedback

Code objects can now access compiled studies through the simulation API to describe, query, and sample results
Added a Python simulation interface for runtime analysis workflows
Improved agent support for simulation authoring, imported geometry, project context, and persistent artifacts
Added clearer validation messages, simulation staleness information, and recovery guidance

Added required fields and configurable mover-assignment actions for task-card status transitions
Improved kanban filters, sprint handling, close-on-move behavior, card refreshes, and team board layouts
Added project memory capabilities and more reliable project storage accounting
Updated the public API and Python and TypeScript SDKs for the latest team and task-card workflows

Improved simulation, assembly, and motion-study views in the workspace
Improved document tables, slides, PDF forms, signatures, exports, and collaborative editing
Added a faster search path for large projects to reduce client-side lag
Added numerous reliability fixes across workspace panels, previews, and rendered results
