What’s new in 0.9.0

We have spent a lot of effort to make the technical computing environment run faster. Now it’s not only more user-friendly. but also much more responsive.

Almost always the process of data processing and analysis starts with filling in the blanks. We have installed in the base distribution a handy library that contains different methods for this task, so you no longer have to wait for its installation every time.

Often you need to download an image or the result of a function from a script. Now you can copy the image to the clipboard and paste it anywhere you want. clipboard and paste it anywhere, for example, into a document or another script.

We have developed our second Engee application for managing KPM RITM hardware and software complexes. It allows solve the following tasks:

With the application you can add machines and monitor their connection status. You can also manage the properties machine properties, configure network connections, and update firmware.

The RITM.Machine Management application also allows you to manage applications running on a real-time machine: start, stop or delete them. You can start, stop or remove them from the machine. You can read more about application management in [documentation]. in documentation.

You can read about KPM RITM real-time machines on our website: https://kpm-ritm.ru/hil.

As a reminder, the Engee application menu is located in the upper left corner here:

We didn’t like the old implementation of the blocks C Function, Engee Function so we completely redesigned them.

Now the source code editing window opens not in a separate browser window, but inside the environment itself. And also you no longer have to save and close the window with the code every time to run the model, just save the code of the block code in the window.

Another step towards system integration and automation of routine work for engineers.

We’ve seriously revamped model management using commands from scripts, as well as introducing new features for this. You can open and save models and subsystems, manage simulations, adjust model parameters, and more.

This is extremely useful for automating modelling and virtual testing, for consistent testing of the system under development, and for complex studies. system, as well as for complex studies, when you need to prepare primary data and input signals in a single script, "run" them. signals, "run" them through your algorithm in the modelling environment, and then process the test data using the methods of mathematical research methods.

This feature will also be useful for developing reporting documentation or educational content.

A full list of supported commands is available at Software control of modelling.

For systems with a constant duty cycle, we have added the ability to run their models with infinite simulation time. simulation time. To do this, set the simulation time to Inf, this will run the model in an infinite cycle.

Now a model in the file browser will not be saved automatically without user approval as before.

All changes are saved to temporary files, and if the user wants to do it himself, the changes can be saved using the using keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+S) or the interface. And you can always go back to the original version if something went wrong.

We have created and added a new physical modelling library Moist Air.

It contains ready-made blocks and basic elements such as tanks, chambers and pneumomechanical transducers, as well as as well as sensors and sources. Use these blocks to model HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning, environmental control systems, and other complex systems from this application area.

Previously, the Engee.model.generate_code command generated code for a single atomic subsystem at the top level of the model, unless you specified a subsystem to generate the code. Now, in a similar situation, code will be generated directly for the the top-level model.

Vector parameters are now supported for blocks Gain and Unit Delay.

Previously, when generating code via right-click on the subsystem and via the command line, generated files were named differently. Now generated files are named the same regardless of the method of code generation.

The code generator now supports the Sample Time parameters of the Unit Delay block and treats it as a special case of the block. it as a special case of the Rate Transition block. This allows you to create multi-frequency models without usage of additional Rate Transition block and and use Unit Delay block as a source of new sampling frequency in the model.

We have implemented language switching in the interface of the personal cabinet. Russian and English languages are supported.
