   Version 13 will have faster graphics for navigation, especially rotation and panning.

   oh my bad, i assumed he was already using the ccx solver. what i mentioned was the faster version of the ccx solver. you have to download it from the ccx website and also install the intel mkl. the li

    i'd be curious to try this as well. the pardiso site says not to use the intel mkl version as it's out of date. the new pardiso appears to be much faster. the ccx manual seems to indicate you have to

18. Version 12
