You get it all FREE by downloading our latest 2010 service pack. Not on SIMUL8 2010? Upgrade now.
What's new (and free!):
Speed - Charts are much faster
A speed test of a simple 4 object simulation run at 95% speed over 6 weeks, with 4 basic charts open produced a 36% speed increase from the old charts.
Old charts - average run time from 5 runs: 36.1 seconds
New charts - average run time from 5 runs: 22.8 seconds
Just imagine the time saving for larger simulations.
Full X and Y axis scaling control for time graphs
Focus only on the data you are interested in. The chart below only shows the data between 650 and 950 time minutes.
Improved look
The charts look better, with new graphics, making them more useful for presenting to others.

Right click menu
Powerful features at your fingertips.
Values on bars for histogram charts
Show the values showing above each individual bar or a histogram chart, making results visible instantly.
On screen charts
Chart heights and widths are now remembered. Charts can be hidden by using the "delete" key. and charts can be moved and resized while the simulation is running.
Spreadsheet charts
Creating charts from your own results in a spreadsheet is easier with with improved X axis label spacing, and the first series now being able to control the number of X points displayed on the chart.
Charts in custom reports
When you are creating a custom report and inserting chart images it is now possible to see the final image that will be displayed instead of a generic chart image, allowing you to visualize the end result.
Simplified charts properties
The charts properties dialog has been simplified to make it easier to get at what you need.
Even easier to use
Other features that make charts easier to use include the average value line on time graphs displaying accurate average values, and no longer needing to have charts open to print or copy data or images to the clipboard.
All these new features and some more are available by downloading our latest service pack
