HYPERSIM 2024.1.0

Software Toolboxes Installed with HYPERSIM

Added

• Added support for MATLAB R2023b

• Added a “format” column in the sensor view that displays the format of a signal value such as “double” or “int”

• Added a Diagnostic Button in the Help section that gathers relevant log files into a ZIP archive

• Added numbered prefixes for coefficients in the mask of Transfer Functions

• Added a warning upon opening OPAL-RT dashboards when the network configuration of the target does not support usage of graph widgets

• Added an option in the Preferences menu to automatically add missing targets when opening a model

• Added an option to save a license request into a JSON or TXT file allowing one to manually send it later in case the license server is not reachable

Improved

• Improved default folder paths when opening a new example model or license file, or importing network files, or creating new UCM

• Improved ScopeView to suggest the current model folder when opening a template

• Improved error popup when the HyCore or HyServer services from a previous release are already running

• Improved workflow to avoid modifying the network configuration of a target while a simulation is running

• Improved RT Monitor documentation with a diagram explaining the different performance measurements of a simulation

• Improved disk space report in target diagnostic

• Improved sub-circuit form creation by simplifying and clarifying the workflow to expose parameters

• Improved target services (HyCore/HyServer) to use systemd instead of init.d to improve network interface initialization on OPAL-RTLinux

Fixed

• Fixed the target manager main table Active status that was only updating the target status when restarting HYPERSIM

• Fixed the progress bar widget sometimes not being scaled to the correct size when multiple tasks are in progress

• Fixed the RT Monitor view that was not updating the CPU list correctly when topology changes happen

• Fixed the sensor summary “full view” not displaying all columns

• Fixed the Target Manager view that froze when one target in the list was not accessible

• Fixed the automatic recompilation of the model when a compiler flag in simulation settings was modified

• Fixed the datalogger tool that was not recording some signals when using a trigger

• Fixed the datalogger tool that was not recording when a sensor was deselected

• Fixed the datalogger live acquisition that was not working properly after a restart of the simulation

• Fixed the save button of UCM Builder that was sometimes incorrectly greyed out

• Fixed the UCM Builder that was not saving properly a new UCM file unless the “File → New” menu was used beforehand

• Fixed the Line Generator tab of the Line component form that was not calculating any parameters

Removed

• Removed redundant datalogger buttons from the top right toolbars of ScopeView

• Removed the obsolete support@opal-rt.com email address from some error messages

Test Automation

• Improved the documentation describing how to set up a working Python environment

• Improved Sequence Manager workflow with the selected theme now being applied to all tabs

• Fixed “displayComponent” and “displayConnections” Python API commands that were no longer working correctly

Signal Visualization and Processing

Dashboards

• Added a new “Shape” widget which allows to create simple shapes such as triangles or rectangles

• Added support for vector data points in both table and tree views. Support their connections in the data points picker

• Improved sensor synchronization between Dashboard and HYPERSIM. Using “Fetch data” is no longer required when adding and removing sensors

• Improved the synchronization of the project’s state to avoid issues where Dashboard was sometime seeing a running simulation as stopped

• Improved the stability of the graph widget while a simulation is running

• Improved the data point picker user experience when modifying connections

• Improved error messages when adding connections

• Improved the sidebar to make it hidden by default and open automatically when a block is selected

• Improved resizing blocks with 8 handles by preserving the x/y ratio only when the shift key is pressed

• Improved the auto scale of graphes by excluding hidden signals from the scale computation

• Improved consistency by scaling the graph widget with respect to the size of the diagram

• Fixed and re-enabled the Onboarding tour

• Fixed minor widget rotation bugs

• Fixed an issue where Dashboards would randomly freeze after resizing columns

• Fixed an issue where the order of graph signal colors was lost after a copy and paste

• Fixed issue where the graph widget would sometime miss the trigger condition

• Fixed horizontal shifting of the graph widget with a specific configuration

Unified Database

PSCAD Network Import

• Added partial support of dynamic datatap (only constant controlled dynamic datataps are now supported)

• Improved the HYPERSIM console display of non-mapped components during import

• Improved import logs with simplified information

• Fixed the import of models containing Multiply components with different input sizes

• Fixed an issue when importing multiple signals having the same name but different letter cases under the same level of a PSCAD model

PSSE Network Import

• Added support for PSSE v35

• Added support for new components:

  • Gas turbine governor (GAST)

  • SEXS
