NOTE:

In version 6, we made some changes to the tree structure that made it incompatible with previous versions of Flexsim, but we forgot to increment the tree version flag in the engine.

For 6.0.2, we have fixed that bug by incrementing the version flag correctly. This makes it so that old versions of Flexsim properly give an error instead of crashing when trying to open new tree files.

Because of this change, FlexSim 6.0.0 will be unable to open 6.0.2 models. If you have trouble opening a model, be sure to upgrade to 6.0.2.

Can't load *.skp shapes since 6.0.2. Flexsim always gives an exception error message. Does anybody else have this problem?

This problem only occured after installing 6.0.2 using the downloadable installer-file. After that I made a system restore and copied the new 6.0.2 files manually into the flexsim folder. Now skp files seems to work correctly.

I found the problem in the installer and uploaded a new version of it to the website.

Thanks.

The second version seemed to break the webkit for me - I've gone back to the initial one.

Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like everything is fine to me.

Hello,

I did not test the Flexsim Web server in version 6.0 and I don't know if I should change any settings on my computer, but when I try to start the Flexsim web server in 6.02 I get an error message.

Unfortunately I don't have time to look into it right now, but I just tested if I could start the web server.

Hi

When I use this function in duplicating the center connection the program stopped.

Is there a bug here?

In small test model using the 'Edit Select Objects' Modeling Utility, it works fine.

So there might be some other corruption - I'd also check that the memory used by Flexsim is still below the limit.

Thanks Jason. I will try to check it.
