Shield/sheath-bonding system

The configuration option for closed / open screen has been renamed “shield/sheath-bonding system” with the options “single-point bonding” and “solid bonding”. The objective of this change is to enhance clarity and to facilitate the implementation of a cross-bonding option in the future.

PNG and report optimization

A new software component is now utilized for rendering PNG images, significantly improving rendering performance. This enhancement will be noticeable during report generation, as most reports include numerous PNG images.

New zoom behavior

With this new behavior, scrolling the mouse wheel over an image will only trigger zooming when the user also holds down the Ctrl, Shift, or Meta key. This change gives users full control over zoom functionality and helps prevent unintentional zooming.

The previous zoom behavior can still be enabled via a configurable user setting.

Improved permeability modelling

For hysteresis losses to be accurately account for, permeability must be specified as a complex number. This is accomplished by introducting a new material property “Magnetic Loss Tangent”.

Material property overrides

The process for assigning and overriding material properties has been streamlined. This most notably affects custom pipes and custom items.

Maximum (allowed) conductor temperature

The maximum (allowed) conductor temperature for a cable has always been available; however, it is now presented more clearly when selecting a cable in the cross-section , and a warning is issued in the results for cables where this temperature is exceeded.
