• An issue was resolved in the TRACE channel selection dialog which could throw an exception when oppening multiple XTV files. The dialog could fail to open after closing XTV files.
• TRACE channel selection dialog now includes a button to reload the selected file. This should be used when a TRACE run overwrites a file that is currently open in AptPlot.

AptPlot 6.8.0 / ACS Plug-in 2.3.0 - released December 1, 2017:

• Updated to Java 8. Starting with this version, Java 8 or newer is required. Bundled 1.8.0_152 JVM's are included for the 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Linux platforms.
• An issue was resolved which prevented AptPlot from opening demultiplexed EXTDATA files.
• Updated to support the FAST analysis code. This includes updates to the interface and additional batch commands. The following batch commands can be used to read data values from a fast plot file (more information on the available FAST command set can be found in APTPLOT’s help set section “Analysis Code Support Plug-in > Scripting Functionality > Command Interpreter Additions > FAST Commands”):
  • FAST [fileindex] "filename"
  • FASTREAD [fileindex] ["channel"] [unitsType]

AptPlot 6.7.4 / ACS Plug-in 2.2.0 - released August 18, 2017:

• Support has been added to allow plotting FRAPCON values using the rod average burnup instead of time. This is accessed through the Independent Units dropdown list in the channel selection dialog or the FRAPCON INDEPENDENTUNITS batch command. When active the BURNUP variable will be used as the independent variable for standard plots, and to select the timestep for axial plots.
• The TRACE axial plotting logic was updated to report a warning if the provided data channel references an axial level greater than 1. In this case the first axial level will be used instead.
• The burnup values for FRAPCON plots will now display with the units GWd/MTU. Previously some burnup values displayed with MWd/kgU.
• Updated engineering units for RELAP5/RELAP5-3D plot files.

ACS Plug-in 2.1.3 - released July 13, 2017:

ACS Plug-in 2.0.0 - released September 23, 2016:

• The FRAPCON Channel selection Dialog has been updated to support the generation of axial and radial plots. The dialog contains a plot type drop down menu that includes Time Dependent, Axial, and Radial. The Axial and Radial options limit the channel listing to display axial or radial channels only. Plot Time and Offset fields were added for specifying the plot time and geometric data offset for an axial or radial plot.
  The new batch commands PLOTAXIAL and PLOTRADIAL have been added. These commands generate an axial or radial plot from the channels that have been read. The PLOTAXIAL command has the following parameters: FRAPCON <File> PLOTAXIAL [time] <offset> <axis> where <File> is the plot file number, [time] is the axial or radial plot time, <offset> is an offset to apply to the geometric data, and axis is specifies the axis for the geometric data as XAXIS or YAXIS. The PLOTRADIAL command has the same parameters.
• The APTPLOT FRAPCON plot file read routines were updated to support the new fission gas data channels.
• The efficiency of the TRACE Plot file read logic was dramatically improved for plot files with a very large number of channels.

AptPlot 6.6.2 released May 12, 2016:

• The iText PDF driver had been replaced with a new PDF driver implemented using the Apache PDFBox library. This eliminates problems rendering certain characters such as the greater-than and less-than signs.

ACS Plug-in 1.9.3 - released May 12, 2016:

• The TRACE Channel Selection Dialog has been updated to include a drop down menu that controls the orientation of axial plots. This drop down menu contains the items X-Axis and Y-Axis. When the X-Axis item is selected axial plots are generated horizontally along the X-axis. Selecting Y-Axis results in a vertical orientation.
• The TRAC PLOTAXIAL batch command has been updated to include an optional parameter to control the orientation of axial plots. When this value is omitted geometric data is placed on the Y-Axis as a default.

AptPlot 6.6.1 released December 16, 2015:

• Updated to improve integration with other applications. The AptPlot home environmental variable is no longer required and has been removed from the application launchers.

• The RELAP5 plot file parsing logic was updated to resolve issues encountered reading a binary strip file that contains two or fewer data channels.
• The TRACE channel selection dialog has been updated to support generating axial plots. The dialog now has a plot type drop-down list that includes Time Dependent, and Axial. The Axial option will limit the channel selection to the only display channels that have cell length data. Only the lowest axial node for each axial channel is displayed. The geometric data for hydraulic components is automatically extracted from the header portion of the plot file, and will automatically be used to build the axial plots. An Axial Plot Time field has been added for specifying the time for the axial plot, and a Y Offset field has been added to allow adjustment of the y axis values obtained from the geometry data. The Axial plot capability is only supported by TRACE XTV and XTV Demux plot files.
• The new batch command "PLOTAXIAL" has been added which generates an axial plot from the channels that have been selected using the TREAD command. This command is only supported for TRACE XTV and XTV Demux files. The command has the following parameters:
  • TRAC <File> PLOTAXIAL [time] <y offset>
    
  where <File> is the optional plot file number, <y offset> is an optional offset along the Y axis, and [time] is the required time for the given data. The closest timestep to the requested time will be plotted.
• The TRACE channel selection dialog was updated to merge all of the data channels for the HTSTRC components with the corresponding HTSTR components.

AptPlot 6.5.2 released January 23, 2014

• This version will automatically install and configure a bundled Oracle Java Virtual Machine for the following supported platforms:
  • 32-bit Windows XP/Vista/7
  • 64-bit, Windows XP/Vista/7
  • Linux 64-bit

The following updates were made to the ACS Plug-in (Version 1.8.0) for this release:

• Large file support >2.1GB was added for demultiplexed COBRA plot files.
• Added support for GOTHIC plot files. Added demultiplexing utility for GOTHIC plot files.
• A RELAP5 demuxer issue was resolved that prevented demultiplexing files with more than 150,000 timeslices.
• A COBRA demuxer issue was resolved that prevented demultiplexing files with more than 100,000 timeslices.
• The RELAP5 and TRACE channel selection dialogs have been updated to optionally group channels by type. When the option is selected (the default) channels with the same prefix (such as alpE, pn, etc.) will be grouped into expandable categories within the channel selection window.
• Updated engineering units for RELAP5, COBRA and MELCOR.

AptPlot 6.5.1 released February 17, 2012

• Updated to work with Java 7 under Windows.

The following updates were made to the ACS Plug-in (Version 1.7.0) for this release:

• Added spport for plotting data from the FRAPCON and FRAPTRAN fuel performance codes.

AptPlot 6.5.0 - released August 12, 2011

• A new user preference is available, "Remember file selector locations", which defaults to enabled. When disabled, all file selection windows will start in the either the working directory from which AptPlot was launched, or, if launched from the the AptPlot installation directory, in the user's home folder.
• A pan tool is now available. When selected, clicking and dragging within the plot will pan the contents of the currently selected graph.
• The plot can now be zoomed in and out while holding Ctrl (Command on Macs) and scrolling the mousewheel.
• Rubber band operations have been updated to follow contemporary UI conventions. For example, when using the zoom tool, the initial mouse press will start the operation; dragging the mouse over the desired area, then releasing the mouse button will complete the action. This behavior has been implemented for most rubber band actions, including resizing plots, moving objects, toolbar operations such as zoom, etc. Placing annotations, such as boxes, lines, and ellipses, still requires a second click to complete the action. However, the preview rubber band will now appear while dragging the cursor after the initial mouse press.
• Resolved an issue that prevented use of the Non-Linear Curve Fitting functionality for some expressions.

The following updates were made to the ACS Plug-in (version 1.6.0) for this release:

• The Demutilplexer utility applications for RELAP5, TRACE, COBRA, and MELCOR plot files have been updated to include automatic determination of the buffer size. The '-mN' command line option now defaults to '-m0' which enables the automatic mode in each of the demuxers. Increasing the maximum amount of memory available to the VM will now increate the size of the demutiplexing buffer. The adjust this value, run the LauncherSettings.jar utility located in the bin directory of the AptPlot installation, and change the JVM option, '-Xmx764m' for the DEMUX and associated demultiplexer utilities accordingly. For example, to increase the maximum JVM memory to 3GB for the RELAP5 demultiplexer, change the option to '-Xmx3g' for the R2DMX and DEMUX applications.

• Updated the parser to expand the set of allowable characters for EXTDATA channel names.

 

AptPlot 6.3.1 - released August 4, 2009

• The Variable Properties dialog has been overhauled to make better use of screen space and offer additional features. The list of variables has been changed to a table with two columns: the right displays the name of the variable and the left displays its 'saved' flag status. User-defined scalar variables will now
  also appear in the list, so that the 'saved' status of all variables can be managed directly in the dialog. For all other changes to the dialog, please consult the AptPlot documentation.
• Save Defaults and Reset Defaults menu items have been added to the Plot menu. Save Defaults will save all of the current graph settings as defaults. The Reset Defaults option will reset the graph setting the original settings.
• The Batik PDF trancoder has been replaced with the iText PDF library. This library provides higher quality PDF output and significantly reduces the time required to render PDF files.

The following updates were made to the ACS Plug-in for this release:

• The number of file indexes available for each type of supported code has been increased from 10 to 30 (indexes 0-29). Equation Interpreter constructs for accessing plot-file data may now use up to two digits to denote the location of the data (i.e. r18_p-100010000).
• Plot files can now be closed. The command "TYPE index CLOSE" will close a file open at the indicated index (i.e. RELAP 18 CLOSE). This frees all resources associated with the file opened at that index.
• The Plot Axial Data dialog introduced in the previous version has been redesigned based on user feedback. The Source, Time, and X Axis values, all of which were previously specified once for all axial plots, are now entered on an axial-by-axial basis. Restoring axial plot definitions is now an explicit process: buttons have been added to the toolbar for saving and opening axial plot definitions files.
• Support has been added for custom unit codes embedded in EXTDATA files. The custom units are transparently applied when reading data from a file with embedded units.
• Opening a RELAP window from the UI now correctly displays a file filter, restricting the view to only those files with the appropriate file extensions. The "All Files" filter is still available. When opening a plot file where the type must be specified, the user-entered type will now be remembered between sessions.
• Six new engineering unit types have been added for COBRA-IE.

 

AptPlot 6.3.0 - released June 22, 2009

• Please note. This version requires Java 6.0 or newer.
• The list of vectors in the Variables window (and any other dialog that displays this list) has new functionality. Vectors can now be created from the list's right-click pop-up menu. Additionally, vectors can be edited in a spreadsheet editor, similar to the dialog displayed for editing data-sets. To open this window, double-click a vector in the list, or select "Edit > In Spreadsheet" from the vector's right-click pop-up menu.
• Save Defaults and Reset Defaults menu items have been added to the Plot menu. Save Defaults will save all of the current graph settings as defaults. The Reset Defaults option will reset the graph setting the original settings.
• The Data Set spreadsheet editing dialog no longer contains an 'OK' and 'Apply' button, as they were inconsistent with the on-the-fly editing of the table data. Now, changes to the set type will be reflected immediately; attempting to change to a type with fewer columns will prompt the user before discarding data. Additionally, data set comments will now be applied whenever the user presses the Enter key in or removes focus from the comment field.
• Added semantics to an existing command: PLOTVAR can now specify a target data set as its first argument. ex: PLOTVAR G0.S1 "<vector>"
• Resolved an issue when exporting EMF images that caused a border to be painted around the plot.
• Resolved an issue where exported PostScript plots would always appear with the "Letter" size, even when using A4 or custom page size, in some viewers and printers.
• Resolved a UI regression where the set list was not appearing in the Write ASCII dialog.
• Resolved a number of issues related to restoring dialog locations and sizes in multi-monitor and virutal desktop environments.
• Banner infomation consisting of JVM and AptPlot version numbers, platform type, date, etc. was added to the log file (aptplot.screen).

The following updates were made to the ACS Plug-in for this release:

• A "Plot Axial" menu item has been added to the Data menu. This item provides access to the Plot Axial Data dialog, which can be used to easily create axial plots.
• The COBRA demuxer was updated to support demultiplexing COBRA plot files with the time channel labeled time-0.
• The channel selection dialogs have been retooled to be more consistent and to organize available options more effectively. The graph selector has been completely removed in favor of a drop-down list, whose first option is always"<current>" (indicating the plot's currently selected graph). Channel selection functionality remains otherwise identical.
• Help buttons have been added to the Axial Plot and Channel selection dialogs.

 

AptPlot 6.2.4 - released April 23, 2009

• Please note. This version requires Java 6.0 or newer.
• Resolved an issue introduced in version 6.2.3 that would limit plot-file data channels accessed from the Equation Interpreter to two points.
