New Features:
- Added: New ‘3D Discrete Event Simulator’ with additional capabilities, including asset utilization, capacity, cloning and seeding.
- Added: The ability to play, pause, step and change the speed of the new 3D Discrete Event Simulator.
- Added: The ability to visualize the diagram being simulated in a 3D representation of the functional model.
- Added: The ability to identify an Action’s current state during simulation by utilizing a specific color for each wait state.
- Added: The ability to customize simulation displays with panels which can be shown, hidden, re-sized and sorted in any order.
- Added: The ability to download the Gantt Chart panel’s display as a PNG file.
- Added: New ‘Monte Carlo Simulator’ with advanced debugging features, made available to all Innoslate users.
- Added: New ‘Action Report,’ accessible via the new 3D Discrete Event and Monte Carlo simulators.
- Added: New ‘Asset Utilization Report,’ accessible via the new 3D Discrete Event and Monte Carlo simulators.
- Added: New ‘Resource Report,’ accessible via the new 3D Discrete Event and Monte Carlo simulators.
- Added: New ‘Detailed Resource Report,’ accessible via the new 3D Discrete Event Simulator.
- Added: New ‘Simulation Report,’ accessible via the new Monte Carlo Simulator.
- Added: New Guided Tutorials, available on the documentation website, which illustrate how to use simulation in Innoslate.
- Added: New Database View ‘Table’ mode, which facilitates rapid entity creation and modification.
- Added: The ability to cut, copy and paste any entity attribute via a text-based representation in Database View in Table mode.
- Added: The ability to undo and redo changes while using Database View in Table mode.
- Added: The ability to view your project’s total entity count within Database View.
- Added: The ability to search your project’s database directly within Database View.
- Added: New ‘Hierarchical Matrix,’ which can be used to view and edit relationships of a specific type from one hierarchy to other entities.
- Added: New ‘Hierarchical Comparison Matrix,’ which can be used to view and edit relationships of a specific type between two hierarchies.
- Added: Option to disable automatic re-positioning of diagram constructs in the Action Diagram.
Enhancements:
- Improved: User experience when selecting diagram constructs after zooming in or out of any diagram.
- Improved: Database View user experience, by utilizing a simple pagination system to display entities instead of infinite scrolling.
- Improved: User experience when switching between Database View modes, by harmonizing available toolbar buttons across all modes.
- Improved: ‘Basic Baseline Output’ report, accessible via Documents/Requirements View, to include displayed attribute columns.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed: Issue which intermittently caused placement of diagrams constructs to not save in the Use Case Diagram.
- Fixed: Issue which caused the ‘Manage Projects’ dedicated page to fail to copy an existing project.
- Fixed: Issue which caused an image to not appear in a DOCX report if another image with the same file name had already been shown.
- Fixed: Issue which caused diagram constructs to not be properly added to the Action Diagram after using ‘Quick Save.’
- Fixed: Issue which caused additional line-breaks to be added in the description fields of entities after a diagram was used.
