ENVI-met updates for version 4.4.3
We strongly recommend updating to the newest version
Major updates
- ENVI-met: Increased performance due to datatype conversion of timestamps
- ENVI-met: Added a new license server; for registering and starting a simulation, PCs need to be connected to the internet and have a valid license and a valid timestamp
- ENVI-met: Fixed stability issues: less errors (especially for several simulations running parallel on 1 PC) → eliminated canvas draw errors
- ENVI-met: Bugfix Pollutants: now works correctly in parallel mode
- ENVI-met: Bugfix Vertical SingleWalls: They got too cold since they did not receive any shortwave radiation
- ENVI-met: Changed the filename structure of output files to be ordered chronologically → YYYY-MM-DD_hh.mm.ss
- ENVI-met: Added more location information to INX and EDX files for Nesting purposes of Winter release (UTM Zone, more accurate coordinates)
- ENVI-met: Added remote license registration on multiple PCs
Bugfixes/ Changes
- SPACES: Bugfix: If no building material available (e.g. from Monde export), the default ID is now 000000 instead of 000001 which did not exist
- SPACES: Bugfix of 2.5D CutArea Tool: BuildingNrs and trees are now shifted correctly
- SPACES: Bugfix: Plants or buildings were displayed one grid cell above ground in 3D (was it in this release?)
- Monde: World location is now updated automatically if shapefiles are imported, location settings are saved more accurate in INX file (lower left corner of subarea)
- Monde: Enhanced the postpressing tool for exporting model areas: Add specific SimplePlants on specific soil ID
- LEONARDO: Bugfix SolarAccess: Can now be displayed again
- LEONARDO: Export Map Layer now CSV as default, since Excel is not possible for model areas larger than around 250×250 gridcells
- ENVIGuide: Small Bugfixes in Labels and Warnings (BackgroundConcentration, Sources, Timesteps)
- ENVIGuide: Added possibility to adjust minimum flowstep in Advanced mode
ENVI-met updates for version 4.4.2
Major updates
- ENVI-met: Increased the computational speed of the simulation
- ENVI-met: User interface now stays responsive while simulation is running
- ENVI-met: Added more precise error messages
- ENVI-met: Added a console version
- ENVI-met: Added a “silent mode” - ENVI-met and ENVI-met console can be started using parameters (Example: envimet4.exe ABSOLUTEPATHTOWORKSPACE PROJECTNAME SIMXFILE.SIMX)
Bugfixes/ Changes
- SPACES: Fixed bugs where “ghost cells” appeared when building cells were deleted
- SPACES: Preview of vegetation cells was shifted and not indicated correctly
- SPACES: Gridding of buildings in detailed design mode featured a bug were y-walls would be missing
- ENVI-met: Season calendar was corrupted for the winter half year
- ENVI-met: Increased numerical stability when single cells were surrounded by buildings from all sides
- ENVI-met: Wind output fields were corrupted (only outputs, no calculations), wind directions with negative U or V wind components (i.e. wind from north or east) were visualized incorrectly, all other parameters were not affected
ENVI-met updates for version 4.4.1
Major updates
- LEONARDO: No more size limitations in model area outputs; the allocated memory only depends on system
- The full forcing manager now expects relative humidity values instead of the specific humidity
- Added an auto-updater to ENVI-Headquarter
- Telescoping can now be used in combination with splitting (the lowest grid box is split into 5 subcells to get more information about the conditions close to the surface)
- Default CO2 concentration is now 400ppm
- Default TKE solver is now TKE_Bruse
- Default lateral boundary setting is now Simple Forcing (open boundary condition is deprecated)
Minor updates
- Business licenses can edit CPU demand in the ENVIGuide
- Added a summary page to the ENVIGuide
- Improved compatibility with Virtual Maschines and other restricted environments
- Solar access now suported for high latitudes (days longer than 4.00 to 21.00)
Bugfixes/ Changes
- ENVI-met: The solar radiation reaching the plant leafs was too high
- ENVI-met: When buildings are placed on DEM, the lowest gridcell of the building was not stored correctly
- ENVI-met: Calculation of sun hours in high latitudes corrected
- ENVIGuide: Smaller Bugfixes to CO2, Full Forcing, and Pollutant page
- MONDE: Setting a new map via .SHP File Import now works correctly
- MONDE: Cut to Area Tool Bugfix
- MONDE: Bugfix to load routines of project/user database
- SPACES: Cut to Area Tool Bugfix
- SPACES: Add Empty Cells Bugfix
- SPACES: Apply Roof/Wall Material now saves correctly
