Modeling Features
|
Description |
|
New Blocks |
audioIn and audioOut blocks read and write data from .WAV
files or Windows audio devices.
delayedSwitch block lets you control the delay for the ‘on’ and
‘off’ commands found in process control.
timeOfDay
block provides hour, minute, second, day, month, year with
interactive update.
minElement and maxElement blocks find the value and location of
matrix elements. |
|
VisSim Browser |
Lets you
explore the VisSim menu hierarchy, making it very convenient to
insert blocks from deeply nested menu trees. |
|
Knobs and Gauges |
Lets
you specify high-quality graphical behavior of interactive
gauges, meters, dials, switches, and knobs. This gives a ‘dashboard’
faceplate to drive and monitor your VisSim models. |
|
Spectrum display |
Displays the amplitude of vector elements with a vertical bar for
each element. |
|
Faster plot repaint |
Plots with many data points now repaint many times faster |
|
Simulation Features
|
Description |
|
Subsystem superclocking |
Allows all blocks within a Compound block to run at a
user-defined rate faster than the overall simulation rate. It also
allows for containment of high-frequency components, iterating
through matrixes, or modeling of partial differential equations. |
|
Adaptive Adams-Moulton and BDF integration algorithms |
Two new integration methods for solving adaptive step stiff systems. |
|
Real-time scale factor |
Lets you run real-time simulations at multiples or fractions of real
time. |
|
Auto check pointing |
Lets your automatically save diagram state at given intervals to a
unique file name composed of the original file name plus a time
stamp suffix. The file contains the current state of all variables
in the diagram, letting you re-run simulations from any checkpointed
state. |
|
Start-up scripting |
Allows C or Matrix initialization syntax. |
|
VisSim - Maple interface |
Allows reading and writing of scalar and matrix data to the Maple
workspace, as well as execution of Maple script. Brings a fast and
smooth interface between VisSim and Maple. |
|
Import block feature |
Improved
to allow ‘,’ as decimal point, and allow ‘.’ as a field separator.
The import block now understands hh:mm:ss.ff as a time specification
format. |
|
Export block feature |
Improved to allow
‘,’ as decimal
point, and ‘.’ as a field separator. |
|
Visualization Features
|
Description |
|
VisSim Tutor |
Lets you annotate a VisSim diagram with interactive help balloons so
that others can read and understand it better. |
|
General Features
|
Description |
|
Key shortcuts |
Ctrl-TAB switches to the next window; Ctrl-F4 closes current window. |
|
Block display ordering |
Allows "Bring Forward" or "Send to back" of bezel blocks. |
|
Block menu tree |
An alternate method to insert blocks into diagram. |
