Magic Model Analyst

Released on: November 10, 2023

In this release, Magic Model Analyst introduces a number of powerful functionalities. The new productversion allows you to run server-side simulation with modified Simulation Configuration properties and even employ a virtual Simulation Configuration without modifying the Teamwork Cloud project. The product also enables live unit conversion to simplify model analysis and reduce the likelihood of errors. Beyond these enhancements, you can customize the Histogram appearance, control the simulation termination logic with the help of a new Auto Terminate property, and benefit from other smaller improvements.

Server-Side Simulation

Modifying Simulation Configuration Properties

Now, you can run server-side simulations with modified properties of a Simulation Configuration without having to change the Teamwork Cloud project. This approach provides a more convenient method to modify simulation properties without a modeling tool. 
It's even feasible to run a simulation without explicitly specifying a Simulation Configuration; instead, a virtual Simulation Configuration can be employed. This gives you the possibility to quickly choose a different execution target and define its simulation properties.

The REST API request body with the 'simconfig' parameter which allows specifying simulation properties.

Enabling the autocompletion option for the simulation using Jupyter Notebook.

Live Unit Conversion for Runtime Objects

Magic Model Analyst 2024x introduces live unit conversion for simulation runtime objects. When Value Properties are connected using a Binding Connector, their runtime values will be automatically converted if they have compatible Value Types (like grams and kilograms). This feature simplifies model analysis, especially when combining elements from various sources, and reduces the possibility of errors.

Histogram Improvements

We're happy to present a new functionality that will allow you to tailor the Histogram appearance. With this improvement, you can define a custom number of data bins in which the results will be distributed and achieve the desired Histogram shape and precision. Furthermore, the edge of the last data bin will now match the maximum value of the value array, ensuring accurate representation.

Auto-Terminating Simulation Configurations

Simulation Configurations now have a new Auto Terminate property, allowing you to manage the simulation termination logic. If you set this property to true, the simulation is terminated when it completes or after the initialization phase if it does not start automatically. When the property is set to false, the simulation continues to run without termination, hanging at the end or after the initialization phase if it does not start automatically.

Other Improvements

• Generating HTML has become easier, thanks to the availability of the Generate HTML and Generate and Attach HTML actions in new, convenient locations. These actions can now be accessed from the context menu of a User Interface Modeling Diagram or a UI element in the Containment tree. Additionally, you can invoke the actions by right-clicking a property symbol, provided its type is a Widget.
  
  
  
  
• The simulation now considers the Decimal Places project option.
• The Parametric Execution Profile has been eliminated. The constraints for parametric execution have been moved to the Simulation Profile.
