Ashes 3.18
Released on 2022-08-08
1 Features/improvements
- Airfoil database UX simplified
- Possibility to select which Fields are shown for each Sensor (see Customise sensor fields)
- Blade name used in CSV batch file instead of blade ID
- Error messages when importing CSV batch files improved
- Wind angle output added to Rotor sensor
- Load history file now imported with action button
- Added scaling factor for wave field visualisation
- Rotational speed for nodes now given in RPM as well as deg/sec
- Batch cannot be opened if the model has errors
2 Known issues and workarounds
- Exporting and importing the floater makes mooring lines disappear. The suggested workaround is to add the mooring lines with the 'Configure moorings' action button
- Pausing a simulation while using a Python script in automatic mode will stop the simulation and potentially crash.
- Closing the 'Waiting' window when selecting a Python script in manual mode can crash the software.
- Aerodynamical reference point is defined in the Airfoil geometry file rather than the Airfoil polar file
3 Bugs fixed
- The Velocity triangle was shown at a wrong angle
- Using XFoil would crash Ashes under certain conditions
- Crash when selecting No nacelle frame option
- Offline error message shown for online users
- There was a crash when a created airfoil was deleted
- An empty DLL path would cause the whole folder to be imported
- Blade aerodynamical station were counted differently in the model and in the velodity triangle
- There was a crash when changing the support section type to Monopie (for the bottom fixed template)
- There was a crash when importing superelements
- RNAs for a multirotor were not numbered
- The length of the monopile for the Monopile only template was not adjusted when changing the water depth
- crash when exporting a sensor before the 'Statisctis start time' has been reached
- Ashes 3.16 models were corrupted if opened with 3.17
- crash when a model that has an existing blade name is opened
- There was a crash when clicking the info pane for regular waves with the Monopile only template
- Error message when exporting CSV file with irregular waves and the importing it for a model that had irregular waves in time simulation
- RPM for calculating time step had too small max value
