Changes as of 11 dec. 2020

All our generic HIUs now have a keep warm function
From now on the simulations running during the release are automatically restarted
The pipe labels can now be turned off individually in the parameter list
Besides changing valve positions, pumps can also be changed by the user when doing a partial load analysis
A new Base Circuit is added for research and specific applications: the simplified thermal storage on supply pipe which consists of a simple capacity model with thermal losses which can be indirectly added to a production unit, heat exchanger, pipes, …
Some minor bug fixes

A new Base Circuit: Thermal store with electric resistance and primary coil for CH
Some minor bug fixes

A new electric boiler BC is introduced as a production unit
The errors when using ILS can now be visualised by plotting a graph. This way the user can analyse when there might be comfort issues.
See: Imposed Load Simulation (ILS) error codes and common mistakes
Some templates in the Hysopt Inspiration Library are slightly improved
Some minor bug fixes

Added graphs on HIU's
With the Ctrl+Shift+R hotkey it is now possible to change & recalculate design power for heating units & cooling units
Added layer support to DXF export
Some minor bug fixes

Provided a BTES loadmatching template to assist loadmatching based on an executed TRT (thermal response test)
See BTES load matching
Added support for multiple currencies for prices in Pareto analysis
All base circuits have a (customisable) identifier, the "P&ID identifier" which is also added into the reports, BOM and PDF export
This can be used to add your project or customer specific naming conventions into the P&ID scheme
Added the "CTRL+I" shortcut to display the "P&ID identifier" on the canvas
Some minor bug fixes

Weather data from more than 3000 locations worldwide now available in Hysopt, based on the International Weather for Energy Calculations (IWEC) Version 2.0.
