What’s new in 24.7

A good development environment is not only user–friendly tools and a rich library of functions, but also a well-developed user community that can provide support and resources for all users, beginners or professionals.

We have built a cozy "home" for the Engee user community – a place where everyone can share their interesting projects, finds, life hacks, ask a question and get a detailed answer to it.

"Community" makes it very convenient to create a post or share a project directly from the file browser Engee (or from the Git repository), as well as download and open it in your work environment. We have also created a separate section for short questions so that you can quickly get the right answer.

We invite you to visit the Community, get acquainted with user projects and share your own! You can access it from the user’s personal account or directly link.

Another improvement for your convenience is information banners in your personal account. We will inform you about the most important news, events, and interesting teaching materials available so that you don’t miss anything. The banners will also display the most important system notifications related to your account.

We have slightly updated the design of some interface elements and updated the status bar of the simulation.

We have improved the focus behavior and now you will never lose your files in long lists of files and folders when downloading.

We have implemented a new functionality that we are very proud of — masks for code cells in interactive scripts. They allow you to parameterize your code in a convenient and beautiful way. You will no longer need to search for the desired parameter in the code text, and you will always be sure that you are editing exactly the parameter you want. The parameters can be changed using standard interactive elements and input fields, sliders, drop-down menus, etc.

The Variable window has been seriously improved :

In the script editor When editing text files and text scripts, several convenient functions have appeared that allow you to write code faster.:

We present you a new functionality — "Custom Libraries" . Custom block libraries are custom collections of blocks that you can use in Engee models. You can include blocks from the built-in Engee libraries in such a library. which are often needed by you, as well as custom blocks created by you.

Creating your own libraries is an extremely useful block layout technique that allows you to:

Now you can change the background color of the blocks, as well as their borders and text. This will help make the models more readable and, what we particularly like, more beautiful. What a beauty!

Now entering parameter values and their dimensions has become much more convenient and logical. Compare it yourself!

We have made a very useful feature — the output of the path to the block and to the model. You can find it in the Information tab in the block settings. Now you don’t have to manually rewrite the paths (and you definitely won’t make a mistake) for software control or other operations with models and blocks.

Now the recorded signals Physical blocks are grouped by blocks, components, ports, sub-components, and ports of sub-components.

We synchronized the signals of different runs in time so that it would be convenient to compare them.

We have added a continuous synchronization mode for configuring physical system solvers. This will make it easier to configure the external model solver and increase the stability of model calculations.
