Notice | FitVac™

Added Pipe Eval feature to compare the conductance of a system at once (available to users on the Optimum plan and above)
Renamed the existing Pipe Eval (conductance color temperature display) in 3D mode to HiPath™

Improved when adding a pump, the name of the pump is now auto-populated as the default
Automatically refresh conductance in HiPath™ when changing gas type or conductance pressure in settings
Property tab UI improvements
Improved the ability to change the number of decimal places and text size/display units for piping dimensions
Improved pipe dimension text to always face forward
Corrected color of chamber hole when selecting a chamber
Improved length units to work between chamber properties and chamber settings

Fixed validation error when pipe inside diameter unit is not m
Improved display of pipe inside diameter and chamber hole size values to 6 decimal places
Improvements to allow you to change the units of result values in simulation reports

Improved pump import to auto-populate pump names contained in pump files
Fixed pumping speed chart units displaying as default when previewing pump data in Quick Mode

Fixed an error where clicking on charts did not work correctly when using a stylus
Fixed an issue with the Effective Pumping Speed chart where it was possible to point to an area with no data
Fixed an issue where the Pump Down Time chart could show lines for systems with no chambers when zoomed in

Fixed an error where atmospheric pressure data could be double entered when the pressure unit was not mbar
Fixed an issue where the x-axis scale may not change immediately when changing the pressure unit
Improved point deletion to delete immediately on click
Fixed error adding points and checking minimum value when Y-axis scale is Linear (consolidated duplicate entries)
Fixed an error where it was not possible to load the same image after saving pump data
Added help to the pointing area

Fixed an error that could cause chamber hole validation to fail depending on the unit of the pipe ID
Fixed simulation results being disabled when changing whether to include chamber holes in chamber properties
When adding pipes in Quick mode, length units are now retained regardless of type
Fixed bug where length was not retained when changing cone/straight to pipe in Quick Mode
Fixed display of conductance values per 3D piping element to apply the set units
Fixed an error where hole positions in chamber settings would not refresh intermittently
Fixed axis units in exhaust time thumbnail chart not refreshing when project settings are changed

Added support for Japanese language
Changed camera viewpoint to be reset when creating a new project or importing a new project while a project is open
Changed View Filter in 3D mode to allow selection of chambers and pumps separately
Interpolation of chart data
Fixed an error where changing the Chamber Holes checkbox while Pipe Eval is enabled in 3D mode would not update the pipe color
Fixed an issue where changing the ID value of a Miter in 3D mode would not automatically change the F value if it did not meet the conditions
Other minor bug fixes

Changed the program to start in the last mode used by the user (3D/Quick)
Added the ability to set the presence or absence of gate valves per system in Quick mode
Added the ability to reset the system when only system 1 is present in 3D mode
Removed process requirements information from the Simulation tab in 3D mode
Added a label to the Pump Down Time, Throughput chart that allows you to identify each process requirement
Changed results to update when re-running simulation with charts popped up
Changed the pop-up charts to close when the mode is changed or the project is changed
Other minor bug fixes

Improved the ability to add an blank system when adding a new system
Improved the Evacuation Time, Gas Throughput chart to display the evacuation rate that matches the process requirements when evaluating pumps (only if it is within 30% to 300% of the system evacuation rate)
Improved the chart to not show data for systems outside the mouse cursor (guide lines)
Improved handling of switching between screens when using split screens
Improved chamber and pump modeling
Added a menu to delete all pipes even while adding pipes

Improved the ability to add an empty system when adding a new system
Show pipe icons when selecting a pipe type
Changed the delete pipe button to appear on the right side of each pipe
Improved the ability to select with or without loss option in system settings
Improved charts to not show data for systems outside of the mouse cursor (guide lines)
Improved the evacuation time and gas throughput charts for pump evaluation to display the evacuation rate that matches the process requirements (only if it is within 30% to 300% of the system evacuation rate)
Other minor error fixes and optimizations

Added effective pumping speed simulation chart - Provides simulation results for the effective pumping speed at the chamber, along with the pumping speed of the pump and the conductance of the piping
Provides simulation results for the effective pumping speed at the chamber, along with the pumping speed of the pump and the conductance of the piping (Quick mode)

Enabled selected piping to be highlighted
Enabled the pump name input window to be selected when attempting to complete a system without a pump name
View Filter is now initialized when the project is opened
Improved 3D rendering performance
