Changes

  • The capacitance of all the heat pump BCs and KVS values of two-way and three-way valves can now be calculated using automated scaling by Hysopt.

    • This feature comes as an addition over the existing method of entering the values manually or using calculator.

...

...

...

  • The Hysopt Platform now features improved support for named user licenses.

    • Some licenses, like Hysopt BIM Syncer, require specific assignment to users. This has been made easier and more consistent.

    • Such licenses can now be assigned to users and will then only be applicable to those users.

    • If no licenses are assigned, only non named licenses will get applied, as used to be the case

    • If licenses are assigned, they take precedence over automatically applied licenses, so then all required licenses should be assigned.

    • If multiple licenses are assigned (max 1 of each type), the user will receive the combination of features from all assigned licenses

    • Steps have been taken to ensure that existing license behavior is respected

Changes

  • A new cost component “Carbon emissions tax” is available for the Pareto Analysis

  • The Admin Portal is undergoing changes to improve support for user bound licenses, like the BIM Syncer.

    • As such the User edit screens are extended with a License Assignments section.

      LicenseAssignmentsExample.pngImage Added
    • This will enable assignment of licenses to individual users, potentially differentiating which features are available to which users.

    • This is a preparation step. There is no enforcement YET of the selections made here. This will come in an upcoming release.

      • Hence, no changes are required and license assignment will be handled automatically

      • Expect the BIM Syncer license assignment to be integrated into this screen in an upcoming release.

  • New "Polyvalent four-pipe heat pump" base circuit has been added to both the heating and cooling libraries. The polyvalent four-pipe heat pump is a heat-pump based production unit that can deliver simultaneous heating and cooling, independent heating and independent cooling all in one system.
    For more info, see Polyvalent four-pipe heat pump

    • The model name for the activity.

    • The launched date-time of the activity.

    • Current status of the activity

    • Activities started between a particular time period

    • Activities launched by a particular user

Changes

  • It is now possible to select the whole control path for a selected control line with the shortcut “Alt + h”. The user first needs to select a control line and then press the shortcut.
    The color of selected control line is also modified to make it more visible against the white background, e.g., the control path connected to tap flow is selected after selecting a control line in this path

...

Changes

  • New "Reversible heat pump" base circuit has been added to both the heating and cooling libraries. This new heat pump uses a reversing valve to switch between heating and cooling operation.

Changes

Changes

  • Some models created between and , might have a deprecated diversity standard (based on DIN1988-300 v1) defined by default.
    If that's the case for your model, the diversity standard will be automatically upgraded to the newer version (based on DIN1988-300 v2) when you open it again. This might influence (improve) your diversity calculations a bit.

  • Simulation results are no longer lost on any save. They are retained until a change is made that could potentially influence the results.

    • E.g. Adding labels, moving BCs, ... should no longer lead to loss of simulation results

    • E.g. Changing a parameter, pipe length, model settings... will still lead to loss of simulation results on save as they constitute changes that will affect simulation results.

  • Introduction of multiple x-axes in graphs: we display multiple x-axes for the use cases where different series with different x-axis units get shown together.
