Version 1.3 of Ventsim Visual has been released, containing some great new features, as well as improved usability and stability.
The new version can be downloaded or updated from the Ventism Visual website.
A summary of new features is included below, however there are many other changes that can be viewed on the web site.
Version 1.3
- Advanced DXF conversion tools, to quickly convert DXF strings into workable networks. New tools include binding of disconnected airways and intersections, and finding of overlapping airways which may be partly duplicated
- New DXF tool to selectively convert imported strings to airways — now an entire DXF string file can be loaded, and only the parts you wish to update to airways can be selected on screen
- Also included are new tools to delete parts of DXF import graphics, as well as a measuring tool, to measure distance between two points
- Improved fan database and fan curve entry: fan curves can now be estimated using a cubic spline method which creates more realistic curves when only a few data points are available
- Convert to 3D-takes a 2D flat network of airways and converts in to full 3D using any available survey contours, surfaces or actual surveyed development strings
- Program speed increases of up to 100%
- Security locking of files to prevent unauthorised access or modification of files
- Customisable icons: any resistance or heat source can now have a picture included in your Ventsim model; this could even be an actual photo of a regulator, or diesel machine
- Grid changes to allow mine grids to automatically face north, south, east or west
