Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 16.0.2 Update

Fixed Bugs of the Material Flow Objects
• We fixed a bug which prevented the Constructor control being called for length-oriented objects in 3D when you inserted the object with several mouse clicks one after the other. (PR 9934390)
• We fixed a crash which occurred in rare cases when you configured the Supermarket with a DataTable if the column Name was not filled in or if the Supermarket already had a previous configuration.

Fixed Bugs of the User Interface Objects
• We fixed a bug of the HTMLReport which prevented that a Frame was shown in a 3D Only model for which you set the size in percent for displaying it in the report.

Fixed Bugs of the Resource Objects
• We enhanced the methods getCreationTable and setCreationTable of the Workerpool.
• We added an optional boolean parameter to the method getCreationTable to which you assign the inheritance state, true meaning inherited, false meaning not inherited.
• You can now assign VOID to the parameter of the method setCreationTable. This activates inheritance of the Worker Creation Table .

Fixed Bugs of the Information Flow Objects
• We fixed a bug of the DataTable. When you filled in a DataTable via SimTalk, the DataTable did not show this. To show the contents of the DataTable it sufficed to click into the DataTable with the mouse or to drag another window over the DataTable.
• We fixed a crash of the DataTable which occurred when you specified a list range in the method copy whose end was located before the beginning.
• We fixed a bug when accessing DataTables via a user-defined column index. The access did not work if the index had the data type string and was computed via a function to which a string constant was passed as the first parameter, for example MyDataTable[to_str("a",i), y] . (PR 9932841)
• We fixed a bug of the DataTable if it was opened as a dialog. It occurred when you pressed the Del key in a cell of data type length to delete its contents. Plant Simulation entered the value 0 instead though.
• We fixed a bug of the FileInterface. It occurred when you tried to write several strings without explicitly opening the file and when the encoding was set to UTF-8 . In this case the second write command caused an error message.
• We fixed a crash which occurred when you tried to configure the AttributeExplorer in the Class Library.
• We enhanced the behavior of the Teamcenter Interface. You can now configure the installation of the Teamcenter FMS Client Cache (FCC) using environment variables, for example FMS_HOME, in a file that only applies to the Plant Simulation process instead of setting the environment variables system-wide. Consult the online help for ad- ditional information.
• We fixed a bug of the DataLists and DataTables which caused the method writeExcelXMLFile to return VOID instead of true, when the method was successful. (PR 9941352)
• We fixed a bug when parsing arrays in JSON data. if the string to be parsed contained an array whose values were separated with a comma, i.e., if no empty space followed the comma, parsing was canceled with an error message.
• We fixed a crash of arrays of data type JSON. You could declare such arrays although Plant Simulation does not support them. Now Plant Simulation shows an error message while compiling the Method when you declare an array of data type JSON. Use an array of data type JSON instead.
• We fixed a bug of the method copyRangeTo which prevented the contents of an opened DataTable to be updated. (PR 8462453)
• We added the method putAttributeNamesIntoTable for built-in attributes that are computed with a probability distribution.
• We fixed a crash which occurred when you assigned a comment to a Variable class which does not have an origin.
• We fixed display problems of the Tooltips in the Method editor.
• We fixed display problems of Tooltips of Methods in the Frame. Comments that start with // at the beginning of the source code are now correctly displayed.
• We fixed a bug which caused the command Open Location in the Method Editor to execute an Open control if one was defined instead of opening the location of the Method.

Miscellanea
• We fixed a bug which prevented that the path in the title bar of a Frame, which was opened in a window, was updated when you moved it to a different folder in the Class Library. (PR 9934409)
• We made working with libraries easier, which require a user-defined license. You can now drag classes, which have an origin class, from such libraries with Shift+Drag&Drop .
• We fixed a crash which occurred when you called the command User-defined Attributes via the context menu or the ribbon bar for the FileLink and the FileInterface.
• We fixed a bug which prevented that user-defined attributes, which were set to an initial value during a Reset, activated observers.
• We fixed an animation bug of the Turntable which sometimes caused the MU to be animated on the wrong side when the MU was moved from a Conveyor conveying backwards onto the Turntable. (PR 9934407)

Fixed Bugs in 3D
• We increased the maximum Width of the Connector in 3D Only models from 100 to 300.
• We fixed a crash which occurred when you wanted to make the Mu animation path of a Class longer while the active 3D window showed a folder.
• We fixed a bug which prevented converting 3D graphics to Jt with the script xt2jt.bat from working.
• We fixed a bug which caused parts of the file missing when loading some IGES files which had been exported from AutoCAD. (PR 9941932)
• We fixed a crash which occurred when using the function F3DconcatenateRotations. (PR 9947659)
• We fixed a crash which sometimes occurred when you copied an animatable object from a class, which can animate MUs, for example a ParallelStation into a class, which cannot do this, for example a Method.

Fixed Bugs in the Object Libraries
We made the following changes and enhancements in the ExperimentManager.
• We enhanced the behavior. You can now also type in your own names for the experiments.
• We enhanced the behavior. You can now also define input values, for example WorkerPool.creationTable(1).Amount with drag and drop onto the ExperimentManager.
• We merged the protocols on the tab Validation in the dialog Advanced Settings which the buttons Protocol and All Recordings open.
• We fixed a bug which prevented that the Histogram of the DataFit object, which you can open by clicking Show on the tab Fit showed data points near the minimum or the maximum for certain samples. We fixed these bugs of the Value Stream Mapping Library.
• We fixed a bug for the data export with the object Process_Multiple. (PR 9923326)
• We integrated a check message when a process is controlled by both ScheduleBox and PPS. (PR 9927953)
• We fixed a bug within the Debugger-object which occurred when an already registered Inventory was renamed. (PR 9935506)
• We fixed a seldom bug within the LeadProcess-object when parts were processed multiple times within a rework cycle.
• We fixed Formula errors which could occur when updating the library in combination with renaming objects.
• We implemented a check for recognitions of cycle-model-constellations for the material flow which are not supported.
• We integrated error checks for the Supplier when parameter are given for quantity or interval length of 0 for cyclic product deliveries.
• We fixed a problem when several processes were used with parts per product definitions of > 1 and < 1.
• We fixed a PPS-MRP-error for the constellation when 2 controlled processes are requesting the same product from the same inventory.
