Bugs fixed in this release

  • Resolved an issue where file arrays could not be linked.
  • Resolved an issue where errors that occur during optiSLang workflow execution would not be populated in the ModelCenter optiSLang plug-in.
  • Resolved an issue where the optiSLang Plug-In would hang when attempting to execute a trade study using parallel runs.
  • Resolved an issue where the optiSLang Adaptive DOE (Design of Experiments) algorithm could check out too many licenses.
  • Resolved an issue where optiSLang algorithms would not be present in the DOE Tool, Optimization Tool, and RSMToolkit.
  • Resolved an issue where generating a surrogate model in the RSMToolkit using optiSLang algorithms would cause too many licenses to be consumed.
  • Resolved an issue in the Optimization Tool where attempting to perform an optimization using an optiSLang algorithm with a discrete design variable would cause an error.
  • Resolved an issue where an error could be shown while setting up an Optimization with discrete variables.
  • Resolved an issue where ModelCenter installation could halt due to a problem with the Visual C++ redistributable package.
  • Resolved an issue where attempting to edit a legacy PACZ could crash ModelCenter and corrupt the PACZ file.
  • Resolved an issue where editing a PACZ from the Edit Component tab in ModelCenter could cause a crash.
  • Resolved an issue where component metadata could be overwritten in some circumstances.
  • Resolved an issue where the level count of an embedded DOE would not update properly upon saving a workflow.
  • Resolved an issue where DOE Trade Studies that could not be run displayed a "Specified cast is not valid" error message.
  • Resolved an issue with the Minerva Import Plug-In where the specified file location would not be saved.
  • Resolved an issue with the CATIA Plug-In where the component could not be run if the CATIA file used by the Plug-In resided in a nested subfolder.
  • Resolved an issue with the XMLOutput Plug-In where multiple files could not be specified as outputs.
  • Resolved an issue where customers with an STK Enterprise license encountered a license error when attempting to run the BEE Plug-In for ModelCenter.
  • Resolved an issue where licensing errors in the RSMToolkit would not produce helpful error messages.
  • Resolved an issue where performing a test run in standalone QuickWrap could freeze the UI.
  • Resolved an issue where PyModelCenter could not be used to load a workflow with an embedded Trade Study.
