Copy meshing parameters to other geometry items.
Split STEP assembly also splits multi-body parts and non-assembly collections of parts.
Table allows you to set modes and time steps before solving.
Assign material dialog box accepts selection by double clicking it.
If the only solution variable in a mechanical analysis is temperature, it also generates all the default solution variables.
Automatic component colors exclude very dark colors.
Plate mesh tool's maximum allowed density increased from 20 to 64.
More helpful error messages for solution variables with no data.
CCXCalculiX version updated to 2.22.
Initial velocity for linear Dynamic Response 3D.
Element orientation for Nonlinear Dynamic Response.
Refuses to load solution if there’s a zero coefficient in cascade *WARNING because it often indicates the solution is incorrect.
Buckling's accuracy parameter reduced from default (1e-2) to 1e-6.
OpenRadiossRayleigh damping.
Node-surface coupling (RBE2 and RBE3).

The download link does not yet show version 29
Edit: Now it does.
I didn't find it.
CCX source is in that file in, for example, C:\Program Files\Mecway or wherever it was installed to.
