Analyst Version 13.02 Minor Improvements:

The Analyst version 13.02 software includes the following enhancements.
Environment
- Faster Saves
Saving of complex projects with large result files and/or imported data files is signficantly faster than previous versions.
- Project Compression
13.02 is the first version where the user can disable project compression. Doing say may result in much faster project open/save times at a risk of increased file size. Compression can be disabled using a new Environment Property named File Management -> Saved Project Compression.
- Minimize Command Line Argument
You can now pass a /minimize argument to prevent Analyst from showing its main window when launched from the command line.

Simulation (Analyst-MP Only)
Eigenmode (OM2p and OM3p)
- Surface Roughness
OM2p and OM3p can now model the loss effects of conductor surface roughness for both thick and thin metal through either an impedance boundary condition or Electric Conductor (Bulk Conductivity) material.
- PML Support
OM3p now supports PML boundary conditions on exterior surfaces.
- Conductivity in Impedance Boundary Conditions
Previously, OM2p and OM3p have not permitted use of nonzero conductivity to define the loss in impedance boundary conditions. Both OM2p and OM3p now support use of conductivity in impedance BCs, by converting the conductivity into an impedance at the shift frequency.
- Metals with Realistic Conductivity
Previously, good electrical conductors were replaced by PEC when the simulation was configured to avoid simulating inside conductors. Now, in such simulations, good electrical conductors are modeled with the appropriate impedance boundary condition, where the impedance is determined based on the shift frequency, material conductivity, physical structure thickness, and surface roughness if present.
