 What's new in Feature Pack 1?

Placeholders

Use Placeholders in your model to refer to a defined value in the Project Settings. Wherever you use a Placeholder, Powersim Studio will replace it with the value you have previously defined.

This is particularly useful when there are a number of references to same value, eliminating the necessity individually update each reference.

More information about Placeholders with a video demonstration.

New functions for working with to Database datasets

• New functions to define Dynamic Ranges based on database datasets.
• New function to allow for pivot aggregation of a database table.
• You can now select that the user is to be asked for their database credentials in each Powersim Studio session.

Dash style for Curves in the Time Graph, Chart, and Scatter controls

 It is now possible to change the Dash Style on graphs.
