Move Tests: Shift All Channels of a Group by the Same Value
The calculation "Move Tests" now allows shifting all channels of a group using one single value for all. Before, to shift a number of tests (GroupOfChannels), the same number of offsets (Channel or GroupOfValues) was necessary. The common offset (SingleValue) can be defined directly in the dialog.
Kistler ComoNeo (csv) Importer Enhanced
The Kistler ComoNeo (csv) Importer has been enhanced and now also supports trend data in addition to cycle data. Thus, ComoNeo data are supported completely, and the Beta status is removed. The channel names now include cavity numbers for improved readability. Missing cavities in legacy files are automatically generated. Moreover, the importer now supports the StandBy load status and channel name unit mapping.
MDF-Import Supports Events and Event Blocks
The MDF Import now also supports event signals and blocks. The events are stored separately from data channels. They are synchronized over time, angle, or distance. String channels contain e.g. event types (Trigger, Marker, Recording) and causes (Error, Tool, Script, User).
Partial Curve Allows Specifying Unit of x-Value Boundaries
In the Partial Curve calculation, when defining “x‑values boundaries” via manual input it is now allowed to add a specific unit. The unit must be compatible but may vary from the x-unit of the input data object, e.g. “ms” instead of “s”. The values are automatically converted. This feature is often used in automated report generation especially in Crash applications. As this feature led to changes in the API, existing scripts using this feature need to be adjusted, i.e. using PartOfCurve.setStartValueQuantity(DoubleQuantity) instead of PartOfCurve.setStartValue(double).
Visual Signal Editor Further Improved
The Visual Signal Editor has been enhanced further. It now offers a "Copy and Paste Area" function which allows to copy a selected area of the data and paste it to a definable position. Furthermore, also signals with equidistant explicit x-Values are supported (independent channels). A preview of selected signals is shown even when no function is selected.
Time Controller Design Reworked
The design of the Time Controller graph has been reworked. A timeline now shows the progress of the controller. The slider can also be used to drag the timeline position back and forth. The controller speed can be entered manually via input field.
Further Scripting Support Improvements
To further improve usability and clarity when working with scripts, the Groovy script examples has been reworked and concrete variable types added. The script editor also provides for automatic code formatting for Groovy and BeanShell. Adjusted window sizes for code suggestions and JavaDoc are preserved for later reopening of the editor.
Defining and Storing S-N-Curves in Damage Calculations
In the damage calculations Damage Accumulation, Load Spectrum and Multiaxial Loading, S-N (Woehler) curves can now be freely defined via point lists. The defined curves can be saved and reloaded as template files (material properties). These can be organized in local or global folders via the Template Manager. This saves time for manual configuration of curves and builds a library over time.
