•Introduction of TRIM Server - Grunt Model. Distribute your simulations across multiple modelling PCs. Watch a video demonstration.

•Support for "IF Event ==' statements

 

TRIM 2.0.2

•Several minor bug fixes.

 

TRIM 2.0.0

•TRIM can now be configured to automatically zip most intermediary output files from post processing (DAT/XMDF/2DM etc) saving you up to 90% of precious disk space and reducing clutter. If you want to rerun post processing later, TRIM will offer to extract the archive for you.

•TRIM now monitors the disk space available and will send you a message if it drops below a user defined threshold.

•Preliminary support for XMDF formats and new versions of tuflow_to_gis and res_to_res utilities.

•Fixes and updates to post processing templates (click 'restore to defaults' to update your templates).

 

TRIM 1.9.7

•Open BC file added to right click menu.

•Bug fixes.

 

TRIM 1.9.6

•Introduction of Reporting. Find out which projects are using up your modeling hours. This can be useful to help distribute licensing and IT costs amongst projects and cost centres.

•Option to start TUFLOW windows minimised or hidden which can avoid screen hijacking when running TRIM in the background.

•Support for new TUFLOW switches -nq and -acf which can improve auto-stop reliability and suppress dialogs for creation of directories.

•TUFLOW time series grids can be exported to a multi-band TIF file for analysis in other software (each timestep grid in a separate image band).

•Bug fixes.

 

TRIM 1.9.5

•Introduction of TRIM Post Processing. TRIM can now help automate all your TUFLOW post processing including dat_to_dat, TUFLOW_to_GIS as well as a automatically creating Shape Files and MapInfo tables to save you time. TRIM ships with several post processing templates but you can easily add your own.

•GUI redesigned including 3 new style templates.

 

TRIM 1.8.8

•Introduction of TRIM Auto-Stop, TRIM can automatically end your simulations when they have passed their peak based on a combination of Wet Cell Count (2D), Flow Out (Qo) and Water Level (GL). This allows users to save significant time by not modelling the full recession limb of the flood and not having to iteratively adjust simulation end times to optimise performance.

•Charting of Wet Cells (2D) and Water Level.

 

TRIM 1.8.6

•Introduction of TRIM Notifier, a preconfigured email system that should work with any corporate firewall (ideal for those that can't configure a SMTP server due to port blocking)

•New setup wizard allows simple configuration of TRIM out of the box

•Filter on queue allows simple management of large queues

•Manually run simulations by right click

•New Skype remote management commands (specify TUFLOW version when adding a simulation, run next, move and remove models)

oFix for non-zero start time simulations

oTolerant of non-standard commands such as 'Start Time (hr) ==' instead of 'Start Time =='

oFix when adding event/scenario simulations via right click 'Open with TRIM'

oNew checks to ensure Skype contact in friends list and Skype is not trying to send to/from the same account
