Version 9.1.4 Features and Fixes

Version 9.1.4 includes several updates to existing features that extend the overall capabilities of STELLA^® and iThink^®. Take advantage of the following:

Unicode support for isee NetSim — Export for NetSim now supports Unicode characters.

Ghost tool improvements — Model entities that have been connected across modules using the Ghost tool are now assigned the name of the ghosted entity rather than Noname_#, making it easier to identify the variable it was connected to if disconnected.

Interface enhancements — Controller icons and can go negative symbols no longer appear in model entities on the Map layer. Similarly, can go negative symbols no longer appear on model entities in the StoryTelling or Tracing tabs.

Data export improvements — The export feature no longer limits the number of rows or columns for export.

Expanded support for List Input Devices —The List Input Device (LID) pop-up to select pages now supports models that are zoomed out down to 50%

General Fixes:

1. Corrected a problem importing data on Macintosh computers using Microsoft Excel 2004 v11.5.5 or greater.
2. You can once again delete export links in the Manage Links dialog on Macintosh computers.
3. Fixed a problem with the “Import Now” Menu button on Macintosh computers.
4. The background of Slider and Knob names is now transparent.
5. Sliders now properly update their positions if a Navigation button causes a zoom.
6. The Switch option on a Navigation button now works with arrayed variables. This option allows switching a variable on or off when the button is pressed.
7. Adding all array elements to a Chained Switch, and then removing one, no longer causes the software to crash.
8. Connectors to name-only converters and modules now position correctly when zoomed in or out.
9. Hovering over the variable for the y axis in a scatter graph now displays the correct variable name.
10. The position of graph values now adjusts properly when zoomed in or out.
11. When connecting and then disconnecting arrayed entities, the software will now properly identify invalid array elements.
12. Having integers only turned on in a conveyor’s leakage outflow, no longer leads to negative values for the flow-thru.
13. Corrected a problem with conveyors (if set to certain transit times) that caused the outflow to be a non-zero value even though leakage fraction was set to 1.
14. Documentation for stocks contained within a module will once again appear in the equation layer when the “Show Documentation/Units” option is enabled.
15. When using the “Restore all” feature from within a module, the software will now restore all model values (not just those contained within the module).
16. Changing run specs from within a module will now affect the entire model.
17. Fixed a problem with the following built-in functions when their arguments included assigned module inputs: TRANSTIME, COOKTIME, CAPACITY, OSTATE, QELEM, QLEN, LOOKUP, and LOOKUPXY.
18. Decision Process Diamonds (DPDs) in a model containing modules no longer causes a software failure. NOTE: Placement of DPDs or sub-models within modules is not recommended and is not supported.
19. Corrected an intermittent problem with models containing Warning Flashers that caused the software to crash when you zoom all the way out.
20. Fixed an intermittent problem with the placement of storytelling annotations not being retained.
21. When exiting StoryTelling or StoryBuilding, the zoom level and position of the model now restore properly.
22. The Switch icon no longer appears on modules that have been assigned to a Switch.
