This version was released on 2023-Feb-28

Welcome to the 2023.1 release of Modelon Impact. This release is only applicable for Modelon Impact cloud and on-premises, for desktop users see information available below.

The update contains new features, updated libraries and addresses some usability issues.

We would also like to promote our workspace migration guide. It describes the process of upgrading your Modelon Impact Workspaces to use the new release of the Modelon Libraries or how to keep using 2022.2 version of the libraries and upgrade at a later point.

Below includes a detailed list of updated and new features in Modelon Impact.

New Features🔗

  • The FMU export now allows the selection of the target platform. Decide if the FMU should work for Windows x64 or Linux x64 platform.
  • For the FMU export for co-simulation you can now also choose the new Radau5ODE solver. Use this solver if the model contains many events and/or if the model has stability problems with CVode.
  • Support for svg icons – use svg image as icon for your model .
