2023-05-11 - twin 1.29.0

New features

  • To improve overall performance, the new Simplify function can be used to simplify large 3d models, e.g. by automatically deleting many small parts
  • We have added the possibility to deactivate simulation components, which means that they have no influence on the simulation

Improvements

  • When mover simulation components are selected, an arrow is displayed in the 3D View window to indicate the movement
  • Projects, which are saved by using the Save As function can now be imported into the same project
  • When using Save and Zip the user gets a message, when trying to create the archive in the current project folder
  • A legend was added to the Visual Physics Debugger
  • When the twin Client app is restarted without closing the twin Server app, the simulation component tree view and simulation component diagram is now loaded correctly
  • When the twin Server app does not have a valid licence, a message is shown to the user

Fixed issues

  • The description in the tool tip of the Undo and Redo button was wrong
  • Clearing all entries in the Watchlist works now as expected
  • Simulation component GenericRobotController: Changing the min/max axis limit was not applied in the sliders
  • Simulation component ControlPanel: On simulation reset the value of an real or integer output could be smaller than the defined minimum value
  • In some simulation components the Pick button for axis could lead to invalid values if the user clicked on a 3d-object without selecting an axis
  • In the Visual Physics Debugger the color of active and sleeping dynamic 3d objects are not updated correctly
  • When changing the name of a mesh simplifier in the settings view, the simplifier was not shown correctly in the properties of 3d objects
  • When deleting a material in the settings view, the default material is assigned to affected 3d objects
  • Fixed an issue that caused imported 3D objects to be positioned incorrectly under certain circumstances
  • Fixed an issue that cased twin to crash if the text after an InputDefinitions or OutputDefinition in the simulation component Script was deleted
