Hello Blas,

Did you notice any performance issues with this version? As a reseller we get some reaction from customers who say the previous version (v10.1.1.) could handle large models (up to 1e6 nodes) much better.
We don't have these issues our selves and don't know where to look for, because this poor performance is found with high end systems.

Hope you can share your experiences so far.
Regards,

is this news ? ... we've had it for a couple of months ... i haven't noticed much difference, 1 thing i've noticed is that they've changed the .MOD extension to .MODFEM (no biggie, but why?)
