VOLTA and modeFRONTIER 2024R2 Out

modeFRONTIER from ESTECO introduces Plan services, which enables users to schedule runs for multiple plans in the same workflow. VOLTA launches a new beta feature that facilitates integration with external data sources.

Design Optimization

Service Task node

Schedule multiple run configurations (Plans) from the modeFRONTIER workflow. With the new Plan services feature, you can define and sequence multiple run configurations by exposing the variables and algorithm properties that you wish to use for Design of Experiments (DOE), optimization, analysis, and other tasks in modeFRONTIER. These services can then be executed automatically. The introspection and execution of Plans within a modeFRONTIER project are enabled through the chaining and nesting of Plan task services. This means you can focus on strategic analysis.

pyFRONTIER app 

There is a new Plan module in pyFRONTIER, which includes a comprehensive set of Python APIs for managing the entire modeFRONTIER session lifecycle. This allows you to:

• Import and export plans between pyFRONTIER and modeFRONTIER (Interactive Data Exchange).
• Modify plans directly in your preferred Python interpreter for maximum flexibility (Pythonic Control).
• Trigger and manage modeFRONTIER sessions straight from Python (Streamlined Execution).
• Handle run errors, keeping your workflow on track (Robust Error Handling).
• Leverage a dedicated Python API for comprehensive control over the entire modeFRONTIER session lifecycle (Lifecycle Management).

Simulation Data Management

VOLTA External data sources

With this new beta feature, users can now easily access and integrate data from various external sources, such as PLMs, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive, into VOLTA. This allows you to maintain data accuracy and digital continuity by eliminating the need for manual data transfers.

What you can do:

• Access data stored in an external data source using your credentials.
• Replace input file attachments in a plan with files stored in an external data source.
• Edit and run plans that use input file attachments stored in an external data source.
• Download file attachments from the Results table.
