Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence is pleased to announce Elements 2024.1. This release includes some new UI features and a new component.
New Component – 3D lookup Table
We have a new lookup component that supports 3 independent variables and 1 dependent variable. It supports reading a csv file for table data. This unlocks higher dimensional map-based models. For example, motor efficiency maps, battery characteristic maps etc.
Simulation Rerun from Analysis Window
You can now change parameters and submit a re-run right from the Analysis Window. This saves time it takes in the Model flattening and equation simplification steps.
FMI 3.0 Import and Export
Elements now supports import and export of FMUs generated by the latest FMI standard (FMI 3.0). This enables array inputs and outputs.
Update to Modelica Standard Library Version 4.0
The standard Modelica libraries have now been updated to the latest version.
Note that there have been some changes to the UI that we want to bring to your attention:
- As part of the changes required to enable re-run from Analysis window, we have now moved system level parameters to a dedicated parameter block at the top level on the canvas. When you open an existing model file you will see a new parameter block where those parameters are moved. When you open a new model, you will see a parameter block created by default.
- The Add Apps button has been removed from the vertical bar on the left. Apps can still be found through the App manager button on the horizontal bar at the top.
