Update (version 1.9.0)
General availability: Modelon managed 2022-December-15

This update include following new functionality and improvements for Modelon managed:

Build: Model builder🔗

  • Modelon Impact now offers a Dark Mode as Public Beta. Through the Application settings, Dark Mode can be enabled and there are other settings where the Diagram View and Plots can be excluded. While this feature is in Beta status, we ask users to give us feedback on their preferred settings and more.
  • The Diagram View now also renders SVG graphics referenced/used in element icons. These graphics are also rendered as PNGs, so they are not animated.
  • Impact now automatically removes the error message when a new simulation is started after fixing mistakes in the model.
  • Improved license error message for impact.modelon.cloud.

Analyze: Visualization Tools🔗

  • 3D Viewer: Model-specific scene and playback settings (checkboxes, sliders, ...) are now saved when the viewer is closed. So, they are available again when the viewer has opened again. They are not saved with the model.

Fixes🔗

  • Selecting a Result set after clicking the CANCEL button for the workspace updates window throws "Something went wrong error".

Release 2022.2🔗

Release 2022.2
General availability: Modelon managed 2022-JUNE-17 | Customer managed 2022-JUNE-17 | Desktop 2022-JUNE-17

Welcome to the Modelon Impact 2022.2 release. We’re happy to officially announce Modelon managed, our system simulation platform accessible at impact.modelon.cloud. It includes better productivity, increased scalability, and all without the responsibility of hosting and maintaining data resources. And for customers who prefer it, we also offer Customer managed for private cloud and On-Premise installation as well. Read more in the official release announcement.

Since the release of Modelon Impact, we’ve made constant enhancements to user productivity and experience. Below includes a detailed list of updated and new features in Modelon Impact.

Selected Highlights🔗

Analyze🔗

  1. Solve: Manual re-compilation to manually force re-compilation.
  2. Visualization Tools: Zoom selected components in 3D view.

Collaborate🔗

  1. Cloud Access: Modelon managed.
  2. Sharing Tools: App Mode creates a "locked" model that can be shared with other users.
  3. Workspace: Workspace clean up to remove old and outdated data to save disk space.

Build: Model Debug🔗

Improved Diagnostics:

  1. Balancing check improvements.
  2. More information for encrypted models.
  3. Modelica compliance check.
  4. Check against incorrectly defined duplicated variables.
  5. Check against incorrectly defined derivative annotations in Modelica functions.
  6. Improved error check for connect clauses.
  7. Improved option to convert parameters to constants.
  8. Improved handling of switching between MSL versions.
  9. Removed default linking of ModelicaStandardTables (and its header).
