.Modelica.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_3_2_3 .Modelica.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_3_2_3Version 3.2.3 is backward compatible to version 3.2.2, that is models developed with versions 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 will work without any changes also with version 3.2.3. This version is a "clean-up" with major emphasis on quality improvement and tool compatibility. The goal is that all Modelica tools will support this package and will interpret it in the same way. Short Overview:
The exact difference between package Modelica version 3.2.3 and version 3.2.2 is summarized in a comparison table.
The following new
libraries have been added:

The following existing
components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
| Modelica.Blocks.Continuous | |
| Integrator LimIntegrator |
Added optional reset and set value inputs. |
| LimPID | Added an optional feed-forward input. |
| Modelica.Blocks.Sources | |
| CombiTimeTable | The time events were not considered at the interval boundaries
in case of linear interpolation and non-replicated sample points.
This has been generalized by introduction of the new parameter
timeEvents with the default option to always generate
time events at the interval boundaries, which might lead to slower,
but more accurate simulations. |
| BooleanTable IntegerTable |
Added options to set start time, shift time and extrapolation kind, especially to set periodic extrapolation. |
| Modelica.Blocks.Tables | |
| CombiTable1D CombiTable1Ds CombiTable2D |
Added option to set the extrapolation kind and to optionally print a warning in case of extrapolated table input. |
The following existing
components have been changed in a non-backward compatible way:
| Modelica.Blocks | |
| Interfaces.PartialNoise Noise.UniformNoise Noise.NormalNoise Noise.TruncatedNormalNoise Noise.BandLimitedWhiteNoise |
As a side-effect of the corrected computation in
Modelica.Math.Random.Utilities.impureRandomInteger the
localSeed parameter is computed differently if
useAutomaticLocalSeed is set to true. |
| Modelica.ComplexBlocks.Routing | |
| ComplexPassThrough | Fixed the connector types from Real to Complex |
| Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody | |
| World | Added new parameter animateGround for optional
ground plane visualization.Users that have copied the World model (of MSL 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1, or 3.2.2) as an own World model and used it as inner world component, might have broken their models. Generally, for MSL models with sub-typing (due to inner/outer), it is strongly suggested to extend from this MSL model, instead of copying it. |
| Modelica.Media.Interfaces | |
| PartialMedium | Added new constant C_default as default value for
the trace substances of medium.Users that have created an own medium by inheritance from the PartialMedium package and already added the C_default constant, might have broken their models. Users that have copied the PartialMedium package (of MSL 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1, or 3.2.2) as an own Medium package, might have broken their models. Generally, for MSL classes with sub-typing (due to a replaceable declaration), it is strongly suggested to extend from this MSL class, instead of copying it. |
The following critical
errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead
to wrong simulation results):
| Modelica.Blocks.Math | |
| Pythagoras | The case with negative y2 was not correctly
considered if u1IsHypotenuse is true.
This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Blocks.Sources | |
| TimeTable | The derivative of the TimeTable output could no
longer be determined. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Electrical.Semiconductors | |
| Diode | Fixed unit error in current equations. |

| poly | The case with one coefficient and one variable was not correctly considered. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Fluid.Dissipation.PressureLoss.General | |

The mass flow rate was not correctly computed if the pressure drop is a linear function of the volume flow rate. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Media.Air.ReferenceAir | |
| Air_Base.BaseProperties | The unit of the specific gas constant R_s was not
correctly considered. This has been corrected. |
| molarMass | The computation of the function output MM was

| Modelica.Media.Air.MoistAir | |
| molarMass | The computation of the function output MM was
wrong. This has been corrected. |

The calculation was wrong. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Media.IdealGases.Common.Functions | |
| thermalConductivityEstimate | The computation of the function output lambda was
wrong for the modified Eucken correlation, i.e., if
method is set to 2. This has been corrected. |

| Modelica.Media.IdealGases.Common.SingleGasesData | |
| CH2 CH3 CH3OOH C2CL2 C2CL4 C2CL6 C2HCL C2HCL3 CH2CO_ketene O_CH_2O HO_CO_2OH CH2BrminusCOOH C2H3CL CH2CLminusCOOH HO2 HO2minus OD ODminus |
The coefficients for blow, ahigh and
bhigh were wrong. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Media.IdealGases.Common.MixtureGasNasa | |
| mixtureViscosityChung | The computation of the function output etaMixture
was wrong. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Media.Incompressible.TableBased | |
| BaseProperties | The unit of the gas constant R for table based
media was not correctly considered. This has been corrected. |
| T_ph | The pressure negligence was not considered. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Media.R134a.R134a_ph | |
| setState_pTX | Only applicable in one-phase regime: The Newton iteration for the calculation of the density may possibly converge to the wrong root. This has been improved. |
| setState_dTX setState_psX |
The calculation was wrong in two-phase regime. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Math.Random.Utilities | |
| impureRandomInteger | The function output y was not computed to yield a
discrete uniform distribution for a minimum value imin
of 1. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Utilities.System | |
| getTime | The month and year was only correctly returned if the implementing source file (ModelicaInternal.c) was compiled for Windows OS. This has been corrected. |
