2023-06-28 - twin 1.30.0

New features

In the PLCConnector inputs and outputs can now be added via a datapoint browser when it is connected and the protocol is PLCSIMAdvanced or Beckhoff ADS
The FileLogger can now be configured to log only when the value of an input changes
The VacuumGripper can now be Stiff or Soft. A soft gripper can lead to a more stable simulation.
In the settings for the Rigid Body Simulation it is possible to enable GPU acceleration

We have updated the PhysX physical simulation engine to the latest version, resulting in slight performance improvements and more accurate simulation of friction. Please note that this may result in slightly different simulation behaviour compared to the previous version.
3d objects, which are picked by the user, are now more stable
When the template's rigid body behavior of an Object3DSource is not None, the user will be informed

Fixed an issue that caused the connection to the PLCSIMAdvanced instance to be terminated under certain circumstances
When downloading the PLC program from TIA Portal into the PLCSIMAdvanced instance, the outputs of the PLCConnector were erroneously set to their default values
Fixed an issue that caused twin to crash when the default text editor was not available
3d-objects which are added via the Add Cube button in the 3D View window now have a correct mass
Fixed an issue that caused twin to crash under certain circumstances when drawing a connection between simulation components in the Simulation Component Diagram window
Under certain circumstances the simulation component KinematicPathMover did not move as expected
It was not possible to modify the density of materials in the Settings window
When using a mover simulation component to move the container of an Object3DSource, the position of new 3d objects was under certain circumstances not as expected
