Please re-insert this method into MacroUtils. Thanks.

Dear Fabio Kasper,

i am working on my thesis right now and working on a simulation of a dynamic valve. I found your video on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYKolUSipLQ&pbjreload=101 which is dealing with the zerogap mechanism. I would
like to ask if it is possible to:

1. Maybe get the .sim file of this model? It would be a big help for me in my work!
2. If its not possible, I would like to know if there is a way to contact you for short exchange about Zero Gap simulation stuff?

I would be very happy to hear from you!
Best regards, Eugen

The following error message appears when trying to build the jar file using Netbeans 8.1:

A:\StarMacros\nbproject\build-impl.xml:916: The following error occurred while executing this line:
A:\StarMacros\nbproject\build-impl.xml:266: Error running C:\JAVA\jdk1.7.0_51\bin\javac.exe compiler
BUILD FAILED (total time: 6 seconds)

This build is successful using Netbeans 8.0.2. Is there a reason for this? If Netbeans 8.0.2 is necessary for proper building, then the FAQ portion of the wiki should be updated accordingly. Thanks.

Pout field function has a hardcoded frequency.

Replace by Parameter so it can be updated dynamically.

I require writing my sim files and pictures with a name containing doubles (for example, ud.simTitle = height_6.19_inches). The problem I have is that several of the methods in Write.java call the method 'fileBasename()' which is defined in 'GetStrings.java'. This splits the file name by the '.' and cuts out the second half. From my example above, if I used mu.io.write.picture(sceneName, ud.simTitle, 1300, 800, vo) to write a picture, it writes out 'height_6.png' and cuts out the '.19_inches' from my simTitle.

I have been working around this by commenting out
else {
name = _get.strings.fileBasename(name);
}
in lines 52-54 of Write.java.

Would you consider providing a fix for this in the source code so that with each new version of starccm+ I can simply use your pre-compiled MacroUtils.jar?

Thanks!

Tests are still run with Python 2.7.

E.g.: Displayers is resolving to Diplayer

    public String parentName(ClientServerObject cso) {
        if (cso == null) {
            return "NULL";
        }
        String name = cso.getParent().getBeanDisplayName();
        String[] split = name.split(" ");
        String lastWord = split[split.length - 1];
        if (lastWord.endsWith("ies")) {
            lastWord = lastWord.replace("ies", "y");
        } else if (lastWord.endsWith("s")) {
            lastWord = lastWord.replace("s", "");
        }
        return name.replace(split[split.length - 1], lastWord);
    }

Need refactoring.

The "streamline" method found in CreateScene.java doesn't successfully create the transparent geometry part displayer (the streamline displayer is created successfully). It appears that the method at fault is "_createDisplayer_Part", specifically the line "pd.addParts(ano);" seems to only work on part surfaces, not parts or regions themselves.
