Hello!

Thank you for trying Student’s QuickField - finite-element analysis package 
for electrostatics, AC and DC magnetics, current flow, heat transfer and stress 
analysis. 

You've probably had a chance to use some field analysis packages, and maybe 
you asked yourself, why too many of them are so inconvenient, why they 
always try to flood your poor HD, why you must browse thousands and 
thousands of pages in manuals before analyzing quite a simple problem. We 
asked ourselves too. And we decided to prove that a rather complicated 
problem could be described in ten minutes and solved in ten seconds, that one 
can obtain exactly what he needs from the field picture by pressing several 
buttons, that finite element stuff could be handled as easy as a pocket 
calculator.

QuickField 4.2T is a native Windows application designed to run on Windows 
95/98/NT. To install it you have to run setup.exe and then follow instructions 
displayed on screen.

Student's QuickField 4.2T is free software. Distribution limitations are 
described in the License Agreement, which is displayed at the installation 
procedure.

In this new version you will find many improvements. New ways to define a 
problem, new ways to present results - QuickField has become even more 
friendly and convenient tool. We hope you will enjoy using it! 

In case you already have the experience of QuickField use - here is the short 
list of main changes in QuickField 4.2T comparing to the previous version 4.2: 

QuickField is now capable of solving transient nonlinear heat transfer 
problems, with arbitrary initial field distribution, nonlinear specific heat 
and flexible time parameters. This new feature is connected with 
enhancements in every part of the package: 

   · New transient solver allows for time-dependent nonlinear field 
     computation with unbeatable speed – all within minutes on 
     moderate workstation – as you get used with QuickField but in time 
     domain.

   · Coupling features are extended. You can simulate transient heat 
     transfer process taking initial temperature distribution from another 
     problem – transient or steady state. It is also possible to perform 
     thermo-structural analysis based on temperature distribution at any 
     given moment of time.

   · Data and problem editors now allow setting timing parameters and 
     editing temperature-dependent specific heat. Yet the compatibility 
     with steady-state heat transfer analysis of old versions is supported: 
     you can transfer your old problems to transient analysis with 
     minimum editing.

   · New postprocessor for transient thermal analysis is designed to 
     make analysis most fast and convenient. It provides:

         · Fast switching between time layers in field picture.
         · Visualization of time-dependency: XY-plots or table views.
         · Single-click transfer between space and time distribution 
           any point clicked with a mouse.
         · New powerful control for setting up XY-plot curves.
         · multiple point and/or quantities in one plot.
         · Export of time dependencies to other formats.

Please, refer to QuickField Help for detailed explanation of these new features 
or changes comparing to versions older than 4.1.

If your problem requires finer mesh - just contact us! We have developed a 
much more powerful version of our software. It is able to solve problems with 
hundreds of thousands degrees of freedom on any PC within minutes! The 
preconditioner based on our original Geometric Decomposition(TM) 
technique guarantees very high speed and very weak correlation between the 
number of nodes and the required solution time.
