Update (version 1.9.0)
General availability: Modelon Cloud 2022-December-15
This update include following new functionality and improvements for Modelon Cloud:
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".
