FlexSim 7.3.0 is available. You can download it from the account section of the website.

If you have feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback on the software, please email [email protected] or use the support page at www.flexsim.com/support

==================================================
Release Notes

--- FlexSim 7.3.0 -----------------------------------
  • Added an autosave feature to global preferences.
  • Took shaders/shadows out of beta and added preferences for hard and soft shadows.
  • Improved support for stereoscopic 3D including shadow support.
  • Add a floor object.
  • Added alignment property to dashboard model input widgets.
  • Added a dashboard GUI class model input widget.
  • Added support for linking to groups in dashboard statistics widgets.
  • Added support for selecting multiple dashboard widgets.
  • Dashboard dynamic model input fields and edit fields can be tied to global variables.
  • Improved support for Full Screen mode including stereoscopic 3D (on some Nvidia Geforce cards) and multiple monitors (F11 to switch in and out of full screen).
  • Improved 3D mouse support.
  • Removed the Tools menu and added an organizable Toolbox.
  • Added Date Based mode to TimeTables.
  • Added optional stateprofile parameter to stopobject and resumeobject commands.
  • Added Stop Date & Time to the Experimenter.
  • Added flexscript commands for use with Stat::Fit.
  • Added search results to Command Helper window.
  • Added copy/paste functionality to Dashboard (Model Input Widgets only).
  • Updated the Automatic Data Distinction in the Excel Importer to more correctly import numbers.
  • Added sql query() support for LIKE, GROUP BY, and non-trivial expressions in the SELECT column clause.
  • Updated the Excel Import/Export to handle importing into bundles and exporting bundle data.
  • Fixed the Reports and Statistics available classes GUI.
  • Fixed an issue with adding/editing triggers in the dashboard causing FlexSim to crash.
  • Fixed an issue with exporting multiple TrackedVariables statistics to CSV files.
  • Fixed an issue with aligning model input objects to the left/top of the dashboard.
  • Fixed Content vs Time graph not collecting data when defined for a time interval.
  • Fixed an issue with setting long object names/paths in bundles and dashboard statistic objects.
  • Fixed tabbing in Quick Properties causing FlexSim to crash.

*** Backwards Compatibility Note ***********************************************
*** the following changes may slightly change the way updated models behave ****
  • Expressions can now be used in select columns of an sql query. In order to do this we needed to change our sql grammar to be more compliant with standard SQL. This means you can no longer use the AS clause in a WHERE or ORDER BY statement. You can now only use AS in SELECT and FROM clauses.
  • Some parameter types for the query command have changed in c++ for more flexible type definitions. This means if you use the query() command in a c++ dll, you'll need to update your dll's headers and recompile the dll. If you use straight c++ compiled code or flexscript for your query() command, then this should just update.
  • Removed expertfit.

Default The existing AGV and AStar module are not supported in new 7.3.0 version?

I have installed the new 7.3.0 flexsim.

The existing latest A Star (v.1.1.2) and AGV module(v.1.0.6) can't be supported in the new flexsim?
Should those be upgraded for the new released flexsim?

Thanks.

Default Is it impossible to analyze the raw data distribution or data fitting?

I found ExperFit removed in new 7.3.0 flexsim.

Is it also impossible to make the raw data analyzed in new one?
ExperFit has the good feature of raw data analysis in simple.

Can't we use any more the input data analysis tool in 7.3.0?

Thumbs up Version 7.3

Congratulations for the new features on 7.3 version, but remove ExperFit is one step beyhind comparing with our competitors (commercialy talking). Our opinion is that FlexSim should have something like ExpertFit or StatFit.

The instalation of version of 7.3 was done perfectly.

Make sure that shadows are turned on in your global preferences. Apply the global preferences window.

The 7.3 beta wasn't sharing its global preferences with 7.1. Version 7.3 is sharing global preferences with version 7.1. The shadows aren't appearing because your global preferences are from version 7.1 instead of the new 7.3 defaults. Applying the global preferences window will reset your shadow settings so that they appear correctly.

Hi

As there is no button or icon to statfit, just wonder if there is any instruction info in the using of statfit in the manual?

Regards

David

There is no button from within FlexSim to open Stat::Fit. For version 7.3, we have implemented the distributions that the Stat::Fit software outputs so that you can use any results from Stat::Fit in FlexSim.

As I said before: If you have questions regarding the removal of ExpertFit, contact support using the webpage at www.flexsim.com/support

Support will answer your particular concerns directly, depending on your individual needs.

Is Stat::Fit bundled with FlexSim as Expertfit was or do we need to download/purchase elsewhere?

Stat::Fit is not bundled with FlexSim 7.3. We have implemented the distributions from Stat::Fit so that people that use Stat::Fit can use its results in FlexSim.

FlexSim 7.3 does not uninstall FlexSim 7.1. You can still use your existing ExpertFit software that was installed with FlexSim 7.1.

Again: If you have questions regarding the removal of ExpertFit, contact support using the webpage at www.flexsim.com/support and they will answer your particular concerns directly.

Recently I have installed 7.3 and I found its very slow. I have model of size 18MB, appox. 325 objects and 3D layout.
When I open this model in 7.3 I am not able to navigate. It becomes very very slow and I can not work.
Same model if I open it in 7.1 it works very smoothly. I checked global preferences for 7.3 and tried to match with 7.1 but no improvement.

Send the model to support and maybe they can figure out what is happening.
