What’s new in 0.12.0

We know for sure that this is a feature that many people have been asking for and looking forward to, so we decided to please our users before the holidays. Now you can clear all variables or each variable individually. Working in the Engee environment has become much more familiar and convenient.

You can also now duplicate variables in the corresponding interface window.

We continue to develop functionality for working with Git. This time we have implemented the ability to work with remote repositories of the version control system. You can clone yourself a remote repository in the file browser or you can run push and pull commands. The Engee team highly recommends using GIT to ensure a modern development workflow!

Previously you could only drag-and-drop pictures from the Engee file browser, but in the new version we have implemented the ability to insert pictures from your PC’s file manager.

So that the user doesn’t have to specify the absolute path to the file they want to interact with in the environment, we introduce the concept of Paths. A Path is a list of folders that Engee "knows" about. That is, Engee will search for files in them without specifying an absolute/relative path. We have implemented the ability to add a folder with (or without) subfolders to Path and remove them from it. Folders added to Path will be highlighted in dark colour.

We updated the command line so that it launches much faster. And after our optimisation, it has expanded its functionality and fixed many problems. It has become much more convenient to use.

We have implemented the ability to control interactive scripts using program control commands. Currently you can open the script in the editor with engee.script.edit() or run the script with engee.script.run().

A full list of the new blocks can be found below in the relevant release notes section.

We have tested this feature, it works and really makes navigating through the model easier.

In the new release, the menu for selecting signals for output to the chart and setting the chart type have become more logical and convenient.

We have provided a fundamental possibility to set properties of liquids and gases for physical models with the help of special blocks. This functionality is very important, because these properties dramatically change the dynamics of processes in the system.

Now, by holding the Shift key and combining blocks, you can create not only a regular subsystem, but also an activated, triggered or activated and triggered subsystem. The required blocks will be added to the subsystem automatically.

We care about making your complex models readable and elegant with a minimum of crossings and signals. That’s why we’ve added the ability to duplicate input ports in subsystems to simplify graphical models by removing unnecessary lines. A duplicate port is created by holding down the Ctrl or Cmd key.

Extended the functionality of the Data Inspector, now you can compare signals from different runs with each other and plot the corresponding graphs.

Expanded the capabilities of the programme control. You can now take a screenshot of a model subsystem so you can put it into a report or interactive script.

Updated the colour scheme to highlight multi-frequency models.
