What’s new in 26.4

Did you know that in Engee is there a convenient functionality — the ability to detach tool modules from the browser window and place them on the desktop in a way that is convenient for you? This is done in the context menu of the module, which can be accessed by pressing the PCM. In the new release, we’ve added captions to unpinned windows to make working with them even more convenient.

Improved stability and speed of exporting reports to PDF.

The converter has become noticeably faster (up to 30-40%) and correctly processes even large interactive scripts with a large number of graphs that could previously cause failures.

Currently in Engee More than 1,500 ready-made blocks are already available, covering key engineering areas: from basic elements and signal processing to control systems, radio systems, physical modeling and working with equipment.

Libraries include specialized domains:

This set allows you to assemble and explore systems of varying complexity, combining components from different physical and applied fields in a single model.

The accelerated model restart mode has been added, allowing you to perform a series of calculations without recompiling. This is especially useful when selecting parameters, conducting serial experiments, debugging models and algorithms.

This mode reduces the time between iterations and makes working with models more responsive in scenarios where multiple runs with variable parameters are required.

Don’t be surprised that when you turn on this mode, some of the functionality of the model editor will be blocked. This is a logical feature of the mode. So far, only models built from the blocks of the base library are supported.

Added the ability to control the visual properties of blocks from the code. Now you can programmatically change:

With the help engee.get_view you can get the current block display parameters, and using engee.set_view! — change them.

The logic of displaying simulation statuses has been clarified for a more predictable and unambiguous interpretation of the model state. The following states are now used:

The changes simplify understanding of the current state of the model and eliminate ambiguities when working with the simulation.

In the block C Function added support for complex data types. This allows the block to be used when working with algorithms that operate on complex signals, as well as to form verification models for such components.

When opening models created in previous versions Engee the environment automatically updates them to the current format. Such changes require saving the model. This is still reflected by the standard indicator (asterisk) in the interface. Additionally, a notification has been added in the diagnostic window informing the user about the need to save the updated model.

Now there are blocks for visualizing signals in the model (such as Scope and Display) do not cause an error, but are ignored when generating the code. This allows you to generate code from a model containing blocks for visualization, without changing the model itself.

Added support for the industrial protocol OPC UA as blocks in the library Equipment.

Now Arduino support package in Engee It supports not only well-known Arduino boards (for example, Arduino Uno), but also other platforms compatible with the Arduino framework. We have tested and documented support for other platforms, including ESP32, ESP8266, and even STM32. Now you can work with STM32 through the STM32 support package or through the support package Arduino Framework.

Added support for ad blocks Encoder and PWM in the STM32 support package.

Now when updating the version Engee or versions of the support package Engee.Integrations you do not need to clean up the environment using the command EngeePkg.purge().

We regularly update and improve the blocks in the category Hardware. Install an up-to-date support package to enjoy the latest features.: Engee.Integrations.

Now you can use program control (using commands readFile/removeFile/uploadFile) upload, upload and delete files on the beat.

We regularly update and improve the blocks in the category RITM. Install an up-to-date support package to enjoy the latest features.: RITM KPM Support Package.
