Update June 27, 2017: Upgrade versions FloWorks 17.1.2 and FloWorks 17.0.5 are now available. These releases resolve an incompatibility that may result in errors on starting FlexSim when you install FloWorks in combination with certain other modules. If you want to use the (beta version of) the Emulation module, for example, you should upgrade FloWorks to this latest version. There are no functional changes. If you are using the LTS version (17.0.5) of FlexSim you should upgrade to FloWorks 17.0.5. Download FloWorks 17.1.2 if you are using FlexSim 2017 Update 1 (FlexSim 17.1.2). Both versions can be found in the Downloads section of your FlexSim account on the 3rd party modules tab. Bugs may be reported to support@talumis.com. About FloWorks FloWorks is a 3rd party module developed and maintained by Talumis BV ( talumis.com). It provides faster and more accurate modelling and calculation of fluid systems than the default FlexSim fluid library. It is especially useful within the oil, gas, and bulk industry both for production and supply chain optimization. This module requires a FloWorks license. For any questions, please email support@talumis.com. Release notes From FloWorks 17.0.4 to 17.0.5, and from FloWorks 17.1.1 to 17.1.2: Bug fix: Fixed errors when loading FloWorks with other modules dependent on Process Flow, such as the Emulation module. From FloWorks 17.0.3 to 17.0.4, and from FloWorks 17.1.0 to 17.1.1: The following bug fixes and usability improvements are available in both versions: Bug fix: Flow Conveyor with multiple inputs sometimes created too many update events. Bug fix: Flow Conveyor now allows input port at end of conveyor. Usability improvement: Pick list options updated to dot syntax, e.g. centerobject(current, 1) is now current.centerObjects[1]. Usability improvement: Changed object list dropdown to be more descriptive about input, output and center connections. Usability improvement: Changed input/output amount trigger template to increase current input/output instead of previous trigger amount Usability improvement: Added FloWorks options to User Event code dropdown. The following bug fixes apply to version 17.1.1 (FlexSim 2017 Update 1) only. Bug fix: Fixed exception when changing to first product of product table using scripting (thanks to Julio for reporting it) (product table is only available in FloWorks 17.1). Bug fix: Flow To Item releases item when pulling object downstream is unblocked (Bug was only present in FlexSim 17.1). Bug fix: Flow To Item now uses item.Type labels instead of deprecated setitemtype (getitemtype/setitemtype was deprecated in FlexSim 17.1). The release notes of older versions of FloWorks can be found here.

The FloWorks module has been updated for FlexSim 2017 Update 1 and FloWorks 17.1.0 is now available (10 April 2017). This release contains new features (see the Release Notes section below). It does not work with the LTS version of FlexSim 2017 (17.0.x). The upgrade version FloWorks 17.0.3 has been released for FlexSim 2017 (17.0.4). It contains all the bug fixes from FloWorks 17.1.0 but it does not contain new features and does not work with FlexSim 2017 Update 1 (17.1.0). NOTE: Due to a change in FlexSim, a new version was released on April 12. If you are using FlexSim 17.0.0 - 17.0.3, please use FloWorks 17.0.2, which is functionally identical. Both versions can be found in the Downloads section of your FlexSim account on the 3rd party modules tab. Bugs may be reported to support@talumis.com.

Release notes FloWorks 17.1.0 (April 11, 2017) This version of FloWorks supports FlexSim version 17.1.0. Added a multi-compartment loading controller to allow multiple tanks on the same Task Executer to be loaded in sequence and/or in parallel. Added the mass flow conveyor, an accumulating version of the Flow Conveyor. Instead of using numeric product IDs, you can now pre-define a product table in your model, with fixed product names and colors. See the Products page in the FloWorks User Manual for more information. As of now, FloWorks license versions will need to be upgraded with every release, similar to your FlexSim license. (Existing users will automatically be requested to upgrade their license using the Request Upgrade button in the FlexSim License Activation window.) All bug fixes included in version 17.0.2, see below. FloWorks 17.0.3 (April 12, 2017) Version 17.0.3 of FloWorks supports FlexSim 2017 LTS versions 17.0.4 and onwards. This version is a re-release of FloWorks 17.0.2 (see below) due to a change from FlexSim 17.0.3 to 17.0.4. Which FlexSim version are you using? Which FloWorks version should you download? 17.0.0, 17.0.1, 17.0.2, 17.0.3 17.0.2 17.0.4 (LTS) 17.0.3 17.1.0 17.1.0 FloWorks 17.0.2 (April 11, 2017) This version of FloWorks supports Flexsim versions 17.0.0 - 17.0.3. Bug fix: Code headers correctly use Object instead of treenode for current and item so pick list items like "Object connected to center port" work again. Bug fix: Utilization no longer reported as -100% for object with maximum flow set to 0 on reset. Bug fix: Flow control no longer breaks down indefinitely once run with one connected object. Bug fix: Fixed exception when copy/pasting object with Flow Arrows enabled. Bug fix: Added missing icons for options in FloWorks submenu of Toolbox. Bug fix: Flow Conveyor now correctly detects changes in ratio of incoming components where total flow stays the same. Bug fix: ChangeTeEdgeSpeed command no longer throws exception when used on Task Executer not attached to Travel Network. Bug fix: Berth and loading point clear their contents on reset, like all Fixed Resources do. Older versions The release notes for older versions of FloWorks (FloWorks 17.0.0 and FloWorks 17.0.1) for FlexSim 2017 can be found here.

The FloWorks module has been updated for FlexSim 2017 and is now available (December 2016). Update 1: Bug fix update 1 was released on Jan 23, 2017. Update 2: Bug fix update 2 and FloWorks 17.1 for FlexSim 2017 Update 1 were released on Apr 11, 2017. FloWorks is a 3rd party module developed and maintained by Talumis BV ( talumis.com).

For any questions, please email support@talumis.com. Release notes FloWorks version 2017.0.1 (Jan 23, 2017) Bug fix: Missing names and items in Flow Item Bin fixed. Bug fix: Properties window for Flow Tank flow item now opens correctly. Bug fix: Resolved some minor issues with "Add to dashboard" pins. FloWorks version 2017.0.0 (Dec 22, 2016) FloWorks updated for FlexSim 2017 Flow Mixer now has a manual mode, that will put it in Idle mode after each batch until you manually call StartMixerRecipe. Allow Input Rate and Output Rate to be plotted versus time. New Workability and Level Triggered Event objects added with focus in particular on modelling of ports and offshore processes. Unfilled part of Flow Tank is no longer necessarily gray but takes the object color. When Impact Events are active on a FloWorks object, they will show a box around the object similar to the "stopobject" behavior in standard FlexSim. The color of the box varies from red (0) through yellow to green (1) to black (infinity) depending on the impact factor of the event. Dropdown lists for port actions improved. For example, you can now open or close a single port (OpenFlowIp c.s.), select an individual port to open, close input and open output, etc. Increased limits on number of objects and events when running unlicensed version in FlexSim Educational version. Bug fix: Can now add Object Groups to FloWorks charts. Bug fix: When changing a Flow Task Executer from vessel to truck, the TE's flow tank is correctly scaled and positioned on reset. Bug fix: The State display in the Quick Properties did not correctly show the state of the Loading Arm. Bug fix: Arrow heads can now be dragged by holding 'X' key instead of Alt. User commands consolidated and documentation updated: ConnectFlowObjectToOtherObject command rewritten and documented. All documentation in modules\FloWorks\help\Commands reformatted and automatically generated based on actual user commands. These help pages often provide more explanation on the parameters and their optional values, the return types, and more extensive examples than the FlexSim Command Helper pages. Integration with the Process Flow module: FloWorks options added to "Listener Initialized" trigger of "Wait for event" action. Dropdown lists for port actions improved. For example, you can now open or close a single port (OpenFlowIp c.s.), select an individual port to open, close input and open output, etc. Backwards Compatibility Note: the following change may slightly change the way updated models behave. The Item To Flow's OnItemEmptied trigger is now fired before the actual item is destroyed, so that you are still able to reference it in the trigger code.
