  1. uniqueness of time values
  2. time values are ascending

Improved

• Improved acquisition performance with HYPERSIM data source in ScopeView
• Improved PSCAD/PSSE import through custom options and separate menus
• Improved Line Distance Protection with POTT example with updated protection components
• Improved Renewable Energy Example Models with native components instead of UCM for controls: 
  
  • BESS 
  • PVGS
• Improved error messages on certain license installation issues
• Improved expression's Content Editor by indicating the model unit
• Improved pu Unit Notation consistency through all components

Fixed

• Fixed issue with machines when wye grounded stator connection is selected

• Fixed limitation during acquisition in ScopeView when reading more than 100 .out PSCAD files
• Fixed expression unit display when setting an expression on a transformer parameter that depends on the connection type
• Fixed Python API closeHyperWorks() not working if the API connects to a manually started HYPERSIM instance
• Fixed Python API closeHyperWorks() global name 'proc' is not defined when used after startAndConnectHypersim()
• Fixed issue with license installation on target when the clock has changed within 24h range
• Fixed timing display in the .simout console when localhost simulation is stopped
• Fixed issue with non-persisting UI user-defined property values when updating HYPERSIM
• Fixed .simout console not highlighting warnings and errors in color
• Fixed issue with <defunct> processes leading to target instabilities

I/O Interfaces

General

• Improved network configuration by validating the port used at simulation start (C37.118 Slave, DNP3 Slave, IEC 60870-5-104 Slave, IEC 61850 MMS, MODBUS TCP Slave, OPC-UA Server)

C37.118 Slave

• Added support to scale asynchronous computation on multiple cores depending on the amount of PMUs, their data rate, and size
• Fixed limitation of 1000 slaves per instance
• Fixed communication issue when the IDs of consecutive PMUs are not in ascending order

IEC 61850

Signal Generator

• Added support for .oprec as input data files 

Synchronization

• Added support for C37.238-2017 sync profile for Oregano

• Added capability to launch the synchronization setup tool at boot time, thus accelerating simulation start time after a system reboot

• Added support for Oregano card revision 2.3 (OPAL-RTLinux x64-based)

TCP-UDP

• Added capability to automatically correct overlap in data frames

Communication Network Simulation

• Added support for the new IEC 61850 I/O interface

FPGA-Based Simulation

• Fixed path used for the configuration file of the FPGA scope
