Upgrading from ExtendSim 7
Release 8 builds on the features of release 7. Thus there should be no major issues when upgrading.
Upgrading from Extend 6 or earlier
If you are upgrading from Extend 6 (or earlier) to ExtendSim, there are major and extensive changes between Extend 6 and ExtendSim 7. These changes have been carried forward and will affect how you use ExtendSim 8.
 |
Legacy libraries and files* |
| |
|
Item library replaces BPR, Discrete Event, and Mfg
(Manufacturing) libraries. |
|
Value library replaces Generic library. |
|
Rate library replaces Flow library. |
|
Animation 2D-3D library replaces Animation library. |
|
Built-in features in ExtendSim, as well as in the Item
and Value libraries, replace Items (DB) and SDI Tools
libraries. |
|
See the “v6 to v7 Equivalents” file located
at ExtendSim7\Documentation for a list of each legacy
block and the corresponding new block or feature. |
|
All the legacy libraries are in the folder \Libraries\Legacy. |
|
The legacy libraries allow you to run models built
in previous versions. But the legacy libraries are no
longer being supported and will not be available in future
versions of ExtendSim. Use of legacy libraries should
be avoided, especially when creating new models. |
|
|
ExtendSim Databases replace the Industry database that was
included in Extend Suite and Extend Industry. |
| |
|
The Industry database is furnished with ExtendSim so
that you can run old models. However the Industry DB
is no longer supported and will not be available in future
versions of ExtendSim. Use of the Industry DB should
be avoided, especially when creating new models. |
|
So that you don’t lose any stored data, an ExtendSim
Database can import an exported Industry database file. |
|
|
ExtendSim Suite includes 3D
animation. |
| |
|
If you previously used Extend Suite 6, Proof Animation
is included in your ExtendSim Suite upgrade. |
|
Proof Animation will NOT be automatically included
in new (non-upgrade) purchases of ExtendSim Suite. Instead,
it can be purchased separately. |
|
|
ExtendSim 7 can read Extend 6 and 5 libraries (including
the legacy* libraries), as well as the
models you built in 6 or 5. However: |
| |
|
Because of extensive architectural changes, there is
no automatic method to cause older models to substitute
blocks in the new libraries for those in the legacy libraries,
or to substitute an ExtendSim database for the Industry
database. |
|
Models and libraries that have been saved in ExtendSim
7 cannot be read by older versions. |
|
|
When building models, you can combine blocks from the new
ExtendSim libraries (Item, Rate, and Value) with blocks from
the legacy libraries. However: |
| |
|
You cannot connect blocks from the (new) Rate library
to (legacy) Flow library blocks. |
|
It is preferred that you build models using just the
new ExtendSim libraries - avoid using the legacy
libraries when creating new models. |
|
|
Extend 6 products (Extend CP, Extend OR, Extend Industry,
and Extend Suite) will be available for purchase for one year
after the release of ExtendSim 7. The v6 prices are the same
as for v7. |
|
The User Guide and Developer Reference have been rewritten. |
|
See the ExtendSim command Help > What’s New or go
to the New Features page
for a description of all the new features in ExtendSim 7. |
*The "legacy" libraries
are: Animation, BPR, Discrete Event, Flow, Generic, Items (DB),
Manufacturing, QuickBlocks, and SDI Tools.
