PreonLab 7.1 Release Event May 13th, 2026

The release of the next PreonLab version is just around the corner! Make sure you join us on May 13th, 2026, as we will present everything new with PreonLab 7.1.
Here are some highlights that you can expect, making particle-based simulation more powerful, practical, and user-friendly than ever:

  • Virtual Wind Tunnel: An integrated FVM solver to generate steady and transient airflows directly in PreonLab, designed to accelerate early-stage soiling simulations and reduce reliance on external tools.
  • Higher-order thermal solver upgrades: Improvements in simulation efficiency and accuracy across key validation cases, further strengthening PreonLab’s thermal and conjugate heat transfer capabilities.
  • Workflow and usability improvements: Stopping criteria, calculation objects, sensor data export to EnSight Gold, scene access and concurrency control, auto-suggestions in the function editor, and more.
  • Vehicle dynamics enhancements: Improved simulation stability and enhanced cornering and steering behavior based on Ackermann kinematics in addition to distance-mapped trajectories, leading in more predictable velocity-independent vehicle motion.
  • External loads for rigids: New ways to apply point loads, forces, torques, and rotational motor effects to dynamic rigids for more realistic simulation behavior.

We make engineering enjoyable

FAST PROTOTYPING

Shorten development cycles with PreonLab. Virtual prototyping has never been that easy and fast.

REALISTIC SIMULATION

With our particle-based SPH approach, you get simulations with remarkable accuracy.

RESOURCE SAVING

Increase your innovation potential with PreonLab, while saving resources, time, and costs.
The combined use of virtual prototyping using PreonLab and testing is an efficient approach in the development of lubrication and cooling concepts for e-axles. It efficiently supports us in achieving our goals in terms of functional design as early as possible.
