.VehicleInterfaces.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_1_2

Information

This version requires Dymola 2012 or higher and the Modelica 3.2 Library. This version is backwards compatible to versions 1.1.x of the VehicleInterfaces library.

Improvements in this version:

• Improved buses
  In order to simplify working with buses, all buses in VehicleInterfaces are defined as replaceable expandable empty connectors. Whenever the buses are used concretely, they are redeclared to a connector model where all signal definitions are present. As a result, the actual signal definitions (with units and description texts) are always available at the place where they are used. Still, users can add more signals or need not use all defined signals (due to the new feature of Modelica 3.2, that not used signals of an expandable connector are ignored).
  
• Adapted to the conventions of the Modelica Standard Library 3.2
  (directory "VehicleInterfaces/Extras" moved to the new directory "VehicleInterfaces/Resources"; all links to images, scripts, documentation etc. have been changed to URIs such as modelica://VehicleInterfaces/Resources/Images/xx.png; icon layout adapted to MSL 3.2 layout).
  
• VehicleInterfaces.EnergyStorage.Interfaces.Base:
  A optional ground and an optional heat port have been added. Both components can be enabled via a corresponding parameter
