✨ New Features 1. Plug Flow Tank Modeling Simple Tank objects now support Plug Flow behavior through an optional configuration setting. This enables more realistic representation of high-density chests, process vessels, and material transport scenarios where complete mixing assumptions are not appropriate. 2. Expanded Engineering Units Support SharpBot now provides a broader selection of engineering units across simulation and visualization tools. Users can configure flow, pressure, temperature, and other process variables in units better aligned with industry-specific requirements. 3. Advanced Stream Visualization The View Stream functionality has been expanded to display process information using user-selected engineering units. Stream inspection now […]

✨ New Features 1. Advanced Heat Map Visualization The Heat Map object has been significantly enhanced to support real-world analytical use cases. It now includes native input connectors, multiple data entry modes (static tables, DataFrame Creator inputs, and live connectors), and improved color handling with automatic color scheme selection. Labels, titles, and scale presentation have been refined to support clear interpretation and direct use in reports and presentations. 2. Automated Historic Data Preloading for Delayed Inputs SharpBot can now automatically populate delayed input queues using historical data from PI servers. This enables models with long input delays to start producing

✔ Summary of Themes Addressed 🧭 User Interface & Usability Fixes SB‑589 – Clarification of S‑Key + Click Behavior Corrected tip for invoking the floating run menu. SB‑481 – Window Menu Naming Not Updating After Save As File rename now properly updates the Windows menu entry. 📊 Plotting & Visualization SB‑588 – Secondary Axis Not Rescaling Resolved tic‑mark scaling inconsistency between primary and secondary axes. SB‑579 – Plotter Grid Not Rescaling Underlying Microsoft Chart behavior fixed via periodic cleanup. 🧪 PID Tuning, Loop Tuner & Transfer Functions SB‑587 – Manual PID Gains Not Propagating to Outputs Clarified intended behavior and

⚙️ Simulation & Modeling Dead-Time Dynamics Fixed Across Models (SB‑526) A major correction was implemented in the simulation engine to fix a long-standing issue where dead time could increase but never decrease during a running simulation.This affected: The queue logic has been redesigned so the model responds correctly to both increases and decreases in deadtime during live operation. The fix is expected to improve behaviors in other modules, including PID tuning. Live Delay Increases No Longer Cause Output Jumps (SB‑580) Increasing delay using the User Value In block’s arrow-up control caused visible output jumps.This has now been fixed with updates

🧩 1. Critical Fixes (Modeling, Simulation, Logic) SB‑557 – Time delay block fails when delay = 0 Resolved: Jan 19, 2026 SB‑534 – Parameter estimation dialog freezes when initial delay = 0 Resolved: Jan 19, 2026 🔐 2. Licensing Fixes (High Impact) SB‑570 – License limits not multiplying with number of licenses Resolved: Jan 16, 2026 SB‑569 – License manager shows wrong license count Resolved: Jan 16, 2026 SB‑568 – Multiple simultaneous users not supported Resolved: Jan 15, 2026 📊 3. DataFrameCreator / Data Handling Fixes (Note: Only issues after Dec 2 are included, so older DFC fixes are excluded.)
