Added support for remote execution of OpenMETA jobs with the OpenMETA Remote Executor tool. See the Remote Execution section of the Documentation for more information.

We added a number of general improvements with this release:

1. Expanded Design Variable “Range” attribute to support real-number intervals.
2. Improved the documentation for the Value Aggregator (formally named Custom Processor) that makes it easy to extract values from properties and parameters in the model. Additionally we added six new “operators;” see the Value Aggregator Documentation for more details.
3. Added new “CSV File” DOE Type to Parameter Study Drivers that allows for reading cases from pre-generated CSV file.
4. Added a new HTML “Report” page to Test Bench and PET runs that makes it easier to navigate to logs when debugging errors in an execution.

Added support for MATLAB "Bare Files." See Analysis Blocks section of the Documentation for more information.

Added support for PETs in the Continuous Integration utility. See Continuous Integration section of Documentation for more information.

Added three (3) additional options for launching results from the Results Browser: “Export as CSV,” “Launch in Excel,” and “Launch in JMP.” See the Results Browser Documentation for more information.

Added support for generating and populating a template schematic file in CyPhy2Schematic to allow SPICE Test Benches in a PET context to update the generated SPICE System Model according to changes in Test Bench Parameters

Added a Surrogate Modeling tab to the Visualizer that allows the generation, exploration, and training of surrogate models from results computed in a Parametric Exploration analysis.

Fixed issue that caused Autodesk EAGLE 8 to fail to launch when a Place and Route test bench was executed

PET Hierarchy was added to OpenMETA that includes the ability to nest PET Analysis Workflows that include either an Optimizer Driver or no driver at all. The concepts of Problem Inputs and Problem Outputs were added to allow for connectivity to parent PETs.

Additionally, we completed functionality of the PCC driver in a Parametric Exploration which can be used to generate a Probabilistic Certificate of Correctness (PCC). Documentation on the new PET changes can be found online and along with the installed tools.

A “Design Configuration Tree” section was added to the Visualizer that presents the Design Container structure from the OpenMETA model that allows for filtering on the choices in the configuration tree.

You can now save analysis artifacts, such as images, from individual Parametric Exploration (PET) experiments, and retrieve them later using the Visualizer.

Also:

• Results Manager and Visualizer improvements
  • Usability and documentation improvements for Uncertainty Quantification dashboard
  • Manage multiple dashboard "sessions" for a single set of PET result data
  • Single Plot viewer now supports contour and regression overlays
• Use OpenMETA with Linux and HPC environments
• Launch editor for Python components from directly inside a PET
• Files may now be passed between PET blocks, including Test Benches

In this release the Visualizer was updated to run as a framework. We also added domain support for Simulink.

The following features were added to the Visualizer:

• Ability to configure 'user-defined' tabs by writing an R script that specifies the front-end UI and the back-end functionality.
• Ability to specify ranges exactly by double-clicking on a slider in the Filters section.

Additionally, the ability to easily configure continuous integration using an OpenMETA project was added. This will allow a specific set of test benches to be executed upon new commits being pushed to a VCS repository that is tracking an OpenMETA project.

Finally, documentation was shipped with the tools that allows for up-to-date information about all new features. It can be found using the "Meta Documentation" shortcut that is installed or navigating to:
