What’s new in 24.7

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

We have built a cosy "home" for the Engee user community - a place where everyone can share their interesting projects, findings, and know-how, ask a question and get a detailed answer.

"Community " makes it very convenient to create a post or share a project directly from the Engee file browser (or from the Git repository), as well as download and open it in your workspace. And we’ve also created a separate section for short questions so you can get the answer you need quickly.

We invite you to visit the Community, familiarise yourself with users' projects and share yours! You can get to it from your personal account or by direct link.

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

Slightly updated the design of some interface elements and updated the modelling status bar.

Tweaked the focus behaviour 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 parameterise your code in a convenient and beautiful way. You will no longer need to search for the required parameter in the code text, and you will always be sure that you are editing exactly the parameter you want. You can change parameters using standard interactive elements and input fields, sliders, drop-down menus, etc.

For more information about usage of masks, see here.

We have seriously improved the Variables window :

In the script editor when editing text files and text scripts there are several handy features that allow you to write code faster:

Introducing a new functionality - "Custom Libraries " . Custom block libraries are your own collections of blocks that you can use in Engee models. You can include blocks from the Engee built-in libraries that you often need, as well as custom blocks that you create.

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

For more information about custom libraries, see Engee User Libraries.

You can now change the background colour of blocks, as well as their borders and text. This will help make models more readable and, what we especially like, more beautiful. What a beauty!

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

->

We have made a very useful feature - output the path to the block and to the model. You can find it in the "Information" tab in the block settings. Now you won’t have to rewrite paths by hand (and you won’t make a mistake) for programme control or other operations with models and blocks.

The recorded signals of physical blocks are now grouped by block, component, port, subcomponent, subcomponent port.

We synchronised the signals of different runs by time to make it easier to compare them.

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