CEA Systems released the CodeX Build 20100528  update on 25th January 2012. 

New features and enhancements include:

Improvements to connections

• Added component toolbar to ease and simplify the process of working with connections, for instance it is now possible to duplicate, edit and connect a component in one step

• The connection window has been improved to make the connection process more intuitive by means of tooltip images and help text

• We have renamed assembly to vessel, this approach fits better into future developments

• We performed some architectural changes in order to improve the overall stability and performance of connections

• Re-use of existing components, essential component dimensions are taken over during the connection process

General features

• Visibility can be controlled on a per component basis
• Coordinate axis for every component assists in the connection process

Future plans with CodeX (expected after the release of CodeX 2010)

Vessel approach

• One or more design condition(s) for the entire vessel (all components residing in the vessel inherit these design conditions)
• Material list and several other customizable lists pertaining to the vessel
• Information about critical calculation results and critical components (maximum pressure and minimal thickness)
• Placement of various components or sub-components (Nozzles, rings, saddles etc.) will be improved
• Takeover will be replaced with a new and improved version
