Even attended the first EuroSciPy conference which was held in Leipzig. The conference brought presentations and collaboration for many users of scientific python software development tools. EVEN uses Python-interfaces wrapped around highly efficient C++ codes in it's software products CoLyX, ComPoLyX and OpLyX as well as in customer-specific solutions. 

The conference will include several lectures in the field of FEA and CFD. EVEN will participate in the composite session and will present ComPoLyX, a new software for the post-processing of composite structures. The conference will take place at Hotel Zürichberg on June 12 and 13.

The new release brings the following new features and enhancements:

• New Save and Open functions allow to persistently store ComPoLyX databases in .cpx files.
• A major update in the Python scripting interface allows to operate ComPoLyX from Python scripts or from the Python command shell.
• Actions executed in the Graphical User Interface are transparently recorded to a Python script history, simplifying the use of the scripting interface.
• The new View feature allows to capture, save and reload 3D view points.
• Inactive (hidden) element sets are now greyed out.
• Principal strain (eI, eII) and stress (sI, sII, sIII) evaluations and their ply-wise visualization have been implmented.
• Distinct names for all features enhance the usability of ComPoLyX.

This release brings the following enhancements for EVEN's Fluid-Structure Interaction software:

• First release of CoLyX with CFX support. CoLyX reads and writes CFX solver definition files in the binary uncompressed format.
• For the mesh morphing, rotational DOFs of fixed CFD sets (fix-cfd-set-...) are now also clamped
• The handling of small (mapping) edges within the morphing process has been improved.
• CFD set specifications in the config files are checked to match the available sets in the CFD model.
• CoLyX 0.5.0 is available on Windows XP and Linux platforms.
