Improved

• Improved Renewable Energy example model with native components instead of UCM for controls: 
  
  • Type 4 Wind Farm Example Model
• Improved FPGA Scope workflow by adding a target network configuration in the Target Manager, see FPGA Scope for more information
• Improved User Manual accessibility by adding a dropdown to choose what documentation to open between HYPERSIM, Dashboards, and Schematic Editor

• Improved license request process

Fixed

• Fixed UCM dropdown menu not disappearing when clicking on Import UCM

• Fixed code generation error when generated files path are too long
• Fixed memory leak when repeating analysis on a model which increased the RAM consumption of HyWorks
• Fixed auto-transceiver validation when several components within the same task are connected to its output
• Fixed PQ Load component category in the netlist view
• Fixed HyWorks Not Responding issue when inserting a wrong expression in the form
• Fixed engine crash when modifying a 3-ph parameter in the netlist
• Fixed equation consistency in Upward Ramp mask 
• Fixed empty diagnostic page when installing HYPERSIM 
• Fixed the following Python API commands:
  • setSignalLineColor
  • setSignalLineWidth 
• Fixed Target I/O Interface component flipping after Analysis or Task Mapping if it has been flipped before
• Fixed "Cannot Copy 'URP' is Null" when copy-pasting an integer value in the netlist
• Fixed mapping between Target I/O Interface and 3-level NPC converter (SwD) components
• Fixed Content Editor not setting value as an expression when no mathematical formula is involved
• Fixed HYPERSIM crash when writing a wrong expression for a parameter

Removed

• Removed RMI technology used by HyCore and other services. HYPERSIM 2023.1 will not be able to communicate with targets using version 2021.2 or older. If the latest installed version is 2021.2 or older, installing 2023.1 or a more recent version will require to first install any version between 2021.3 and 2022.2 as an intermediate version
• Removed Python 2 API. Please consult the Python API | Setup page for migration information

DNP3

• Fixed “duplicate” option behavior

IEC 60870-5-104 slave

• Fixed issue when more than 100 slaves are defined

IEC 61850

• Added support for attributes with CO functional constraint
• Added message to alert users that IEC 61850 Legacy interface will be removed in 2024.1
• Added capability to timestamp MMS data with information from Oregano synchronization board
• Improved MMS server configuration workflow by creating only the attributes defined in the SCL file
