SCALE.model: Visualized version history in the rail graph

In the newly introduced desktop application of SCALE.model, relationships of object versions are displayed in a clear rail graph. The rail graph provides information about dependencies and relationships between different versions, so that you can keep track even of complex data sets.

The rail graph also enables direct navigation within object versions. Users can thus instantly and interactively understand the relationships between object versions while navigating through the various data statuses. By visualizing the versions and their relationships, relevant states of simulation data can be identified even faster.

In SCALE.model all data – from solver files, parameters and load case definitions to folders – are versioned. Thus, it is fully documented which data has been used at which time and in which simulation. The display of or even the change to older versions is easily possible by clicking on the corresponding version in the rail graph.

Consistent versioning of all data in an SDM system is of enormous importance, especially for collaboration in larger teams. In large projects, in which many users work in parallel, complex structures can arise that are difficult to understand.
