WUFI® Pro 7.2 - new release

 
 

 
The WUFI® Pro 7.2 update is now available for download. This version includes a new film display of the profiles in the variant results, which can also be used for “calculation with film”. The database has been expanded and now automatically receives new materials via an auto-update feature. New functions have also been added and errors corrected.
We strongly recommend that users of older versions of WUFI® Pro 7 upgrade to WUFI® Pro 7.2.
