Early Access Mode

SIMION Early Access Mode - Preview upcoming SIMION 8.1 features.

DESCRIPTION

Note: Early access mode is deprecated and no longer used. Please remove simion.early_access() statements from your programs.

Enabling early access mode in SIMION 8.0 development versions provided temporary access to a few features being developed for version 8.1. These features could be previewed and tried out by placing SIMION 8.0.x in “early access” mode.

To enable early access mode, you must have SIMION version 8.0.x TEST version of SIMION (since these new features are under active development). Enter the following into the bottom SIMION command bar:

simion.early_access()

Some early access features include

• simion.pas - programmatic access and manipulation of SIMION potential arrays (PA’s) from Lua inside SIMION.
• simion.wb - programmatic access and manipulation of SIMION workbenches (IOB’s) from Lua inside SIMION.
• simion.window - Resize SIMION window programatically.
• Poisson Equation - Poisson solver (enhancement to Refine to take space-charge arrays). Technical details: poisson.
• Issue-I452.2 - New sim_repulsion_amount reserved variable.
• simion.debug.memory_dump - accesses memory usage dump
