PhytoSim v1.2 Released
Version 1.2 of PhytoSim has been released. This release comes with updates for following modules: Data I/O, Modelling, Simulation and Calibration.
Download the Windows version here and the Mac version here.
For this occasion, all trial accounts have been reset enabling everyone to try out the new release.
Key new features:
- Work offline on the Mac.
- ‘Remember me’ option when logging in.
- Data I/O:
- Use date/time in outputs (converts from decimal time).
- New output type: matrix file. Can contain matrix output from various PhytoSim modules.
- Modelling:
- New nounit( x ) function: returns the value of x without a unit, where x is a model component.
- New pi() function: returns the number pi.
WARNING: models having a ‘pi’ variable will now be invalid. Please replace these with ‘pi()’. - Multi-line comments. Use: ‘/*’ and ‘*/’ to enclose multiple lines of comments.
- Added Collapse/Expand to the model navigator context menus to quickly expand/collapse the model tree.
- New model: HydR, linking diameter changes to radial water transport across a radial hydraulic resistance (Steppe et al., 2011). Only available for non-trial accounts.
- Simulation:
- Added the ability to put all model component values to their defaults and/or initial values.
- Added Collapse/Expand to the model navigator context menus to quickly expand/collapse the model tree.
- Calibration:
- Confidence information calculations: estimation errors and correlation matrix.
- ‘Single shot’ optimizer: evaluate the objective at the initial values.
- ‘Best’ simulation curve now has a +/- 2*stdev measurement uncertainty band on it.
- Minimum and maximum graph marker lines for optimizer variables.
