Release Notes#

We publish release notes only for new features and for significant changes to CONVERGE Horizon workflows. Routine bug fixes and other minor changes are not documented here.

July 7, 2026#

June 30, 2026#

  • You can now specify a Storage Size of 0 when creating a new workstation.

  • If you select the option to discard output when stopping a job running on a file system, CONVERGE Horizon now deletes all files in the Case Directory that were created after the job started. Previously, no files were deleted in this scenario.

June 25, 2026#

  • Added CONVERGE 6.0.0. CONVERGE Horizon uses the Intel MPI library for all jobs running CONVERGE 6.

  • File systems configured to auto-expand will now increase in size by 1 TB instead of doubling in size, and they will now expand when they are 70% full instead of when they are 75% full.

  • By default, CONVERGE Horizon now uses the full 36 cores per node when running jobs with the BM-INTEL-ICELAKE-36 node type. Previously, only 34 of the 36 cores were used by default.

June 16, 2026#

  • File systems are now created using ZFS, which improves storage density. We recommend replacing your existing file systems with new file systems to increase storage density.

  • You can now customize job metrics to monitor up to 5 variables from CONVERGE output files.

  • You can now search your organization’s resources by ID, name, description, or storage path. To start a search, click search-button in the upper right corner.

  • Moved billing transactions to the Billing page and removed usage reports. Instead of downloading a usage report, you can now export transactions to a CSV file. You have the option to filter transactions by team, owner, project, type, or date before exporting.

May 26, 2026#

  • Replaced the --download option for horizon update with a new --install option. On Linux and macOS systems, horizon update --install will automatically update the CLI to the latest version. On Windows systems, horizon update --install will download the latest version of the CLI.

  • Updated images to EL9.

May 7, 2026#

  • When using file systems, users now log in to the File Manager with their regular CONVERGE Horizon credentials.

  • The VM-AMD-TURIN-FLEX node type is now available in the Canada Southeast (Toronto) data center.

April 16, 2026#

  • Organization owners can now configure billing limits to help ensure that their organization’s balance remains above zero.

  • Added the Japan East (Tokyo) data center, which offers BM-AMD-TURIN-256, BM-AMD-GENOA-192, BM-INTEL-ICELAKE-36, VM-AMD-TURIN-FLEX, and VM-AMD-GENOA-FLEX nodes for jobs, as well as VM-INTEL-GPU-15 and VM-INTEL-GPU-30 nodes for workstations.

  • You can now set a default data center for file systems, workstations, and spaces in My Account > User Information.

April 2, 2026#

  • Added Google Cloud data centers in the following locations: Netherlands (Eemshaven), Singapore West (Jurong), and US Central (Council Bluffs). These data centers offer bare metal (BM) nodes based on AMD Turin and Intel Sapphire processors. The BM-AMD-TURIN-192 node type supports multi-node jobs running on up to 2,880 cores.

  • You can now upload a case to a file system as a single archive file in .tar.gz, .gz, .zip, .lz4, or .zst format. After the case has been uploaded, right-click on the archive file in the File Manager to extract the files.

  • Added an option to view the web interface in dark mode.

March 23, 2026#

  • Added the South Korea Central (Seoul) data center, which offers BM-AMD-GENOA-192, BM-INTEL-ICELAKE-36, and VM-AMD-GENOA-FLEX nodes for jobs, as well as VM-INTEL-GPU-15 and VM-INTEL-GPU-30 nodes for workstations.

  • You are now required to specify a duration and password when sharing files on a file system.

March 20, 2026#

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now used for all accounts. If you are not already using MFA with a TOTP authenticator, you will start receiving a one-time code by email every time you log in to your account.

  • CONVERGE Horizon will now stop stuck jobs by default. You can disable this option for individual jobs in Advanced Options > Stop If Stuck. A job is considered stuck if the simulation log has not been updated for over an hour.

  • You can now create a job directly from the file system File Manager by opening the directory containing the input files and clicking Create Job.

  • Workstations are now available in the Italy Northwest (Milan) data center.

  • Email notifications from CONVERGE Horizon have a new and improved format.

March 9, 2026#

  • Added the Italy Northwest (Milan) data center, which offers the following node types: BM-AMD-TURIN-256, BM-AMD-GENOA-192, BM-INTEL-ICELAKE-36, VM-AMD-TURIN-FLEX, and VM-AMD-GENOA-FLEX.

February 27, 2026#

  • BM-AMD-TURIN-256 nodes are now available in the Canada East (Toronto) data center.

  • File systems can now be configured to allow access to the File Manager only from allowed IP addresses. If you have already configured allowed IPs at the organization level, those settings are automatically applied to all file systems.

February 10, 2026#

  • Node types based on AMD Turin processors are now available in India. BM-AMD-TURIN-256 nodes are available in the India West (Mumbai) and India South (Hyderabad) data centers. VM-AMD-TURIN-FLEX nodes are available only in the India West (Mumbai) data center.

  • Organization owners will now receive monthly email notifications summarizing their organization’s billing activity for the past month. If no billing transactions have occurred in the past month, no email will be sent.

  • When filtering jobs and other resources, you can now select multiple options within a given filter. For example, if you are filtering jobs by project on the Jobs page, you can select multiple projects.

  • The Estimated Balance on the Billing page now includes current accrued costs.

  • Projects can no longer be deleted. Any projects that you previously deleted will be restored.

January 19, 2026#

  • File systems and workstations are now created with valid, signed certificates, so you will no longer see browser warnings when connecting to them. If you still notice browser warnings when accessing a file system or workstation, contact horizon@convergecfd.com.

  • File systems and workstations now respond on port 443 instead of port 6400. It is no longer necessary to keep port 6400 open for CONVERGE Horizon.

  • The system log is temporarily disabled for all cloud resources.
