OmegaLand

What's New in OmegaLand V3.7

In OmegaLand V3.7, the following items have been mainly upgraded.

Visual Modeler
Improvement of heat exchanger units

In general-purpose heat exchanger units (HEATXB) and units with the same function (14 unit models in total, such as HXAIR), a function that can individually specify heat transfer coefficients for the vapor phase and liquid phase by specifying parameters has been added. The heat transfer coefficient for mixed phase fluid is calculated based on their phase ratio.

Enhanced physical properties calculation function

In VLE calculations for water and inert gases, an issue that it becomes unstable under specific conditions has been reported as the result of current large K value for components other than water. In order to improve this, relative volatility with water was introduced to stabilize the calculation.

Extended copy and paste function and page duplication function on the model PFD

When copying and pasting multiple units, a function to specify the name of each unit to be duplicated in a table format has been added. Similarly, a function to duplicate multiple pages at once has been added. These make engineering more efficient when modeling multiple similar processes.

Electric Power Network function (EPN function)

Electric power network calculation library is provided as an option in the Visual Modeler unit library.
Electric power systems can be modeled with images close to single-line diagrams on Visual Modeler, and it is possible to perform simulations that combine power loads such as rotating equipment in process models and power generation systems.

GRAPHIC Functions
Enhanced panoramic view engineering tool

When placing touch targets and labels on 360-degree photographs, it was possible to only specify position with the mouse operation of existing tools. New engineering tool provides the movement, attribute designation, alignment and deletion, of them in the tool by mouse operation.

Enhanced panorama viewer display

A function to hide the view reset button, a function to display the current location and direction based on the overall map, a function to change the cursor shape when the mouse cursor is on the target, and a function to express movement by setting time for moving between points have been added.

Enhanced graphics components
  • Single logarithmic and double logarithmic chart functions in graphs
  • The number of characters in the alarm ticker comment display has been expanded to 32 characters
  • Tabbed screen display like CENTUM VP
  • Select confirmation dialogs (standard or CENTUM VM type) such as PID instruments in DCS emulation
  • Specifying the location of confirmation dialogs such as PID instruments in DCS emulation
  • The display image of the switch modification
  • In order to express travel time during field operation, graphic switching time can be specified and displayed while moving
  • In addition to the Microsoft Windows standard display position from the top left, the display position of the DCS faceplate can now be arranged horizontally in the lower right, right to left, and left to right directions
  • Changing the banner graphic launch button to a larger size by combining the vertical and horizontal buttons
Instructor Function
  • The specification of conditions for operation procedure evaluation has been enhanced, and complex conditions such as (A and B) or (C and D) can be specified
  • In the evaluation function, the score can be normalized to 0-100 points by considering the evaluation weight of the evaluation item being executed
  • Target event scenarios can be set with PDF report output
Trainer Enterprise
Enhanced quiz function
  • Follow up of each question from the quiz results screen
  • Explanation for each quiz question
  • Re-test questions that were answered incorrectly
LMS integration

An API for collecting enterprise learning results from an external LMS over a network has been added.

Enhanced enterprise learning management functions
  • The achievement of the standard study time for each user can be determined by learning history
  • Training results can be searched for with specified dates and scenarios
  • Ongoing sessions can be checked.
  • A template is provided that can display scores, thresholds, evaluation comments, retests, etc. on the pass certificate
  • Execution control options in evaluation mode have been expanded. In the last version, it was possible to have the real-time session, and it is now possible to select accelerated simulation by the advanced configuration.
Supported OS and related product versions
  • CCC's TrainTools interface is now compatible with Prodigy Simulator in latest the version
  • Yokogawa Global PC with Windows IoT are supported as OmegaLand runtime environment

Windows IoT does not support Visual Studio, so if you need a Visual Modeler engineering environment, install it on Windows 11 Pro or the like separately

Other Updates

Other many bug fixes and improvement of program are included in this version.
