CoolSim 5.4.180 preview 6

In CoolSim 5.4.180, a supplemental cooler set by Cooling Capacity always went to the solver as 20,000 W, whatever you entered. One set by Temperature Drop sent its drop as a temperature reading, so the default 20 °F drop reached the solver as a drop of 266.48 K (480 °F).

The preview sends the capacity and the drop you set. A model saved earlier opens with the drop its editor showed, and an untouched default opens as a 20 °F (11.1 °C) drop. Results can change for any model with a supplemental cooler set by capacity or by temperature drop.

The Clone button opens a dialog that says, while you type the count and spacing, which copy first lands on something (another copy, the originals, or another object, by name), which copies won’t fit in the room, and the spacing that keeps them clear.

In 5.4.180, the overlap question never looked at other objects, cloning wiped whatever you had copied, and each copy left “Cannot perform add” errors in Messages.

In 5.4.180, Export CoolSim Report gathered the report in a folder named after the model inside the folder you picked, zipped it, and then deleted that folder without using the Recycle Bin. If a folder of that name was already there, its files went into the report and were deleted with it. An existing report file was replaced without asking.

The preview builds the report in a temporary folder of its own and saves only the finished .csr where you pick, with Windows’ usual question before replacing a file. A report file that can’t be found is named in a warning instead of being left out.
