- Generated report can include data from Trending Results Window, multiple pictures, multiple views of 3D model, and FEM IDs impacted by mapped damage.
- Templates can be shared with all users.
- If using Damage Mapping, a table of impacted FEM IDs will be generated automatically when damage is mapped to a 3D model that contains FEM element ids.
Clipping Plane Dialog
- Ability to change the clipping plane of the 3D model to allow viewing inside of model.

Improvements to Model
- ViewingAbility to view the surface and wireframe models at the same time.
