==== AFT Fathom 10 (Version Date 2019.01.02) Release Notes ==== This file contains the changes that have been made to Fathom 10 *** Changes for Version Date 2018.05.21 *** None: Initial Release *** Changes for Version Date 2018.06.06 *** Initial release of the production version of NIST REFPROP 10.0. >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. Fixed a problem with sprays and relief valves which were inline with two connecting pipes. The ATKF corrections were not being applied for these cases. This only is an issue for laminar flow. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. Added the calculation for the K factor for sprays which were inline with two connecting pipes to display in the output. This only changes the output display. 2. XTS: Fixed a problem highlighting the pipe transient cells when a design alert was hit. This was only a problem highlighting the cells. 3. XTS: Fixed a problem where the Add Design Alert did not do anything on the pipe transient table. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed a problem with new pumps where the POR setting was being set to the ANSI/HI standard and no AOR option was selected for a new pump configuration. This will also cause a unit conversion error message when the model is run or opened with output results. 2. Fixed an issue where the Import button is disabled when importing PCF files. 3. Fixed an issue when showing loading Multicondition events in XTS. 4. Fixed an issue where tank form did not show XTS options when in global edit. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.06.12 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. Fixed an issue where the Show Selected Pipes or Junctions tab on the Visual Report Options Form was not displaying the correct information. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed a problem reading in Relief Valves after the model has been run. There would be a message regarding unit conversion. This would does not affect the results. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.07.13 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. Fixed a problem reading in the pressure when a REFPROP mixture is used in the model. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed a problem where Select Special would not select junction output values. 2. GSC: Fixed a problem when the tank level would not be able to be transfered to the initial state if the model is saved or the scenario is reloaded. The scenario would have to be rerun before it would be available to be transfered. 3. New pipes are now initialized with AIR designated as the default ambient fluid for convection calculations. Not having a default ambient fluid defined could lead to potential run-time errors. 4. Fixed "Draw Multiple Pipe" in Workspace to show iso paths as it does when a single pipe is drawn. 5. Fixed a text-wrapping issue with the legend on Visual Report 6. Fixed a bug where it was not possible to stack 2 graphs with the same X-units in the "My Graphs" Folder. 7. Fixed an issue when using "Select Special" when picking the display pipes or junctions in Visual Report Options. 8. Fixed an issue where the Time is not correct for XTS animated Profile graphs. The issue only happens when Start Time Units are different from Step Time Units in Transient Control. 9. Fixed a problem when running Pump/System curve graphs when no Pump curves exist. 10. Added CAESAR II Neutral File Transfer Pipe Layout Import. 11. Major updates to PCF Transfer Pipe Layout import. 12. When convection heat transfer was configured using global pipe edit, the ambient fluid phase not set. This would cause the output window to report strange temperature limits. This has been resolved. 13. While editing a reservoir, using global junction edit, the graphic would not dynamically update to show the selected elevation basis. This has been resolved. 14. GIS import scaling has been changed to scale better and be more forgiving with coordinates. This should allow more GIS shapefiles to be imported with fewer errors that prevent importing. 15. Exporting a row for a Pipe to Excel previously exported nothing. This has been fixed. 16. Exporting a table or row in batch mode previously exported nothing. This has been fixed. 17. If a user had previously-defined export items in the Excel Export Manager using one set of units and then changed the application to use another set (US to Metric or Metric to US), the Excel Export Manager stopped opening. This has been fixed. 18. Fixed an issue where editing was not available on Chempak and REFPROP mixtures. 19. Fixed an issue where mixture fraction basis was not visible when using REFPROP. 20. Updated Excel Import Workbook. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.08.06 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. Fixed a problem with submerged pumps when the acceleration head was being calculated. If the model is run more than once, it could hang. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. Fixed a problem where the user-defined fittings and losses saved in a model would be lost when the databases were reset (loading new scenarios, clicking OK in the Database Manager, etc.). 2. Fixed problems converting units during the Excel Export for Pipe Slurry tab data. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed an issue where pipe thickness was not displayed in visual report. 2. Fixed an issue where the Visual Report Option to show the background image was not working properly. 3. Fixed an issue for the Print Page Configuration where setting the "box height" would ignore the page margin settings. 4. Fixed an issue where hidden Pipes and Junctions in Visual Report were not hidden in Print Preview. 5. Fixed an issue where the "Convert to Annotation" menu item is sometimes disabled in graphs. 6. Excel Export now allows the Slurry System Curve graph to be exported. 7. Fixed an issue where imported EPANET files would ignore pump and valve vertices. 8. Fixed an issue where EPANET import would fail when pump or valve numbers were changed while vertices for these objects still existed. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.08.20 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Improved the logic for initial guesses to prevent the initial guess for pressure and temperature from being outside the valid range for the selected fluid. 2. Updates to PCF/CAESAR II Neutral file import. 3. Fixed an issue where Excel Export would crash when exporting a profile graph with Junction labels turned on. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.09.04 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed a problem reading in Fathom 9 models with scenarios and pumps when the parent scenario was a sizing flow pump and the child had a pump curve depending on the order in which the scenarios were opened. 2. XTS: Fixed a problem where the time display units in the output would switch to days if the "Common" set of uses were used. 3. Various minor fixes to PCF/CAESAR II Neutral file import. 4. Fixed a bug when using multiple pipe draw mode in Isometric the red guide lines were not appearing. 5. Fixed an issue when in Isometric on the Workspace, Visual Report would show a standard grid. 6. Fixed an issue with the formatting for the crosshair label on Graphs. 7. The Slurry System Curve graph now exports properly. 8. Excel Export would erroneously report that data was overwritten when exporting "Other - All General Information" data. This has been fixed. 9. Selected Excel Export Items that were potentially available to export but not in the current scenario (denoted by a *) could cause the Excel Export Manager to stop functioning correctly. This has been fixed. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.09.10 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. Fixed a problem introduced in the 2018.09.04 version that didn't allow Fittings & Losses to be entered for a pipe. This did not affect any existing values entered. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. None. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.10.11 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed an issue that sometime would clear the Apply check mark for Excel Exporting. 2. Fixed an issue where Pump Vs System Curve will not run properly when AOR/POR data is plotted. 3. Minor changes to background color dialog window for annotations. 4. Fixed annotations missing background colors from older models. 5. Added "Ignore Fitting Lengths" option for PCF and CAESAR Import. 6. Fixed an issue with CAESAR Neutral File import for inner diameter. 7. Converted EPANET import to use the import preview window. 8. Fixed an issue where drawing an annotation can result in an annotation that is too small. 9. Fixed an issue where the Excel Export Manager was not displaying its bottom grid correctly. *** Changes for Version Date 2018.11.08 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. Fixed an issue that was preventing the option to calculate the Bingham Plastic and Power Law constants from rheological data from working. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. None. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Fixed an issue when connecting a pipe material database it would be listed under the regular engineering databases and not with the pipe materials. 2. GIS importing now uses a preview window, similar to PCF importing. 3. The Intelliquip form for the Suggest a Pump feature has been updated - selection and login, if needed, will be on the Intelliquip website. 4. Fixed an issue where EPANET files were not importing elevations correctly. 5. Fixed an issue where EPANET files were not exporting or importing check valve Cv values. *** Changes for Version Date 2019.01.02 *** >> Changes to computation logic that could impact results << 1. XTS: Fixed a problem with finite tanks with an unknown surface level and used in a steady-state scenario when the connected pipes were at different elevations. This caused a head difference which then caused the flow calculations to be wrong. >> Changes to data management that could impact results << 1. XTS: Fixed a reporting problem in the Reservoir Summary for finite tanks with either an unknown surface level or pressure. The value for the unknown item was not being displayed. 2. XTS: Fixed reporting problem in the general junction results for finite tanks with either an unknown surface level or pressure. The inlet and outlet pressures were incorrect. The overall model had correct flows and pressures. The pipe results were also correct. 3. Fixed a problem when splitting a pipe, the downstream elevation and pipe fitting losses (if specified) were not being kept. >> Changes that do not impact results << 1. Reading in Inelliquip file data is more robust. 2. The Suggest a Pump grid has been updated for better readability.
