INOSIM Newsletter On Process Simulation

High Performance Simulation With INOSIM 14
High-Caliber Presentations in Würzburg
Highly Interesting New Training Modules
INOSIM Newsletter II/2024

Good day,

once again, some labor-intensive weeks and months are behind us: After the completion of the majority stake by ZETA, preparations for the presence of INOSIM at the ACHEMA exhibition in Frankfurt in June began. In our software development, the final work on INOSIM 14 and BICON 2.0 ran under high pressure. Internally, INOSIM 14 was put through its paces for several weeks. So while some of us presented INOSIM 14 and Foresight at the ACHEMA booth of ZETA from dawn till dusk, the others completed the final software tests and released the new version shortly after. INOSIM 14 provides increased simulation performance, parallel simulation, Packaged Goods integration, standalone extensions and a five times faster BICON export. We invite you to join our Release Webinar at the end of July, where we will give an live overview of the new features.

Further details on our new products, reports from our consulting practice, two new articles in the section Tips & Tricks, as well as current training dates and further event information can be found in this newsletter.

Yours sincerely
Peter Balling
INOSIM CEO

Tips And Tricks

• Collaboration and Version Control for INOSIM Models
  Often enough, INOSIM models are maintained by several people. One challenge then is to provide everyone involved with the most up-to-date version and to keep them consistent. With linked-files features introduced with INOSIM 13 and common tools from software development, a workflow can be created to overcome this challenge. Read more…
