Release notes for v1.21 (w/c 26 July 2021)

Main new developments

• Targeted Optimisation now provides tools to explore recommended designs. Using a Parallel Coordinates plot, you can now better situate where optimal designs lie in your design space. A 2D Point Plot also helps to visualise Pareto Fronts of optimal designs. This will help you make better-informed decisions about which design to select for your use case.

• Upload a file directly into a notebook/dashboard, using Import & Export > File Upload. Whilst our File Manager lets you bulk-upload, store and manage your raw data files, this new functionality allows consumers of dashboards to quickly get a performance prediction for a new design. 

• Our Custom Code button to transform data is now compatible with 3D data.You can now manipulate your 3D data represented as PolyData (pyvista) objects using custom Python code. An example of a custom manipulation could be:

  polydata.point_arrays['NewField'] = polydata.points[:, 0]

  For more information on how to use custom code on 3D data, see the relevant documentation here.

• Fix Parameters support for Apply > View Surface Field Predictions.
• Styling updates to popovers and tooltips.
• Advanced Options tab in the Import & Export > Tabular manipulator.
• Email fields for registration and login are now case-insensitive.
• Bug fixes
