2022-06-08 - twin 1.24.0

New features

  • We have added a new simulation component GenericRobotController with which you can simulate any kind of robot without a real controller
  • With the new simulation component ObjectCoupler you can change the grippers on a robot during the simulation
  • The modbus protocol is available in the simulation component PLCConnector
  • The C3 Bridge Interface is available in the simulation component RobotControllerConnector

Improvements

  • When importing a CAD file, a lovely indicator shows you that the import is running
  • We have improved the rendering performance when moving a group with many 3d-objects
  • We have added a new algorithm to optimize the mesh of dynamic 3d-objects for the simulation
  • When moving 3d-objects, you can now switch between local or global coordinate system
  • The simulation component Servo has now a initial position

Fixed issues

  • Fixed an issue which causes twin to crash when importing a step-file with empty compunds
  • Fixed an issue which causes twin to crash when the name of the PhysicalMaterial was empty
  • When the name and parameters of the PhysicalMaterial where changed, it was not applied in the simulation
  • Fixed an issue which causes twin to crash under some circumstances when a new project was opened
  • Under some circumstances, the arrow of a runnig Conveyor was not drawn correctly
  • Fixed an issue which causes the UI to freeze when there are many Conveyors
  • When a Conveyor is activated on a 3d-object it could have happen that not all 3d-objects are moved
  • The FCControlledMotor was running although the input IsEnabled was false
  • Importing datapoints in the PLCConnector works now at the first time
