AMBER 6.5 Released

Quintessa is pleased to announce that the latest version of AMBER has been released. AMBER 6.5 offers users new functionality and a number of new features.

Users can now choose whether the time of the simulation, and the name of the parameter being rendered, are shown in the 3D view. By right-clicking in the main panel of the 3D View and selecting Rendering results options, a pop-up window appears in which you can toggle these two options on or off (see below).

AMBER 6.5 introduces the ability to play through, and export, a video of results rendered in AMBER's 3D View. When in the 3D view mode of the spatial model, the video playback and export functionality are accessed via a pair of buttons located with Rendering Results. It is also possible to modify the frame interval of the video via the Rendering results options pop-up window. When exporting a video this can be done either as an animated image file, or as a series of image files, one for each result time.

These capabilities offer unique functionality compared with similar software packages, and provide a powerful way of communicating results such as the concentration of contaminants in a spatial context.

AMBER 6.5 also includes a range of new features to support parameter import and other minor feature updates and various bug fixes.
