STEM version 7.5 includes a bumper crop of new features and represents a step-change
in flexibility and functionality for the results program in particular.
A more professional editing experience includes autosave, firmer control of requirement
and transformation-input bases, find/copy and replace, notes per field, pixel-scaling
and zoom of icons, and some simpler language and help on errors.
The underlying system is faster, leaner, and more flexible, with improvements such
as hands-on equipment migration, peak-driven services from transformations, improved
visuals and parallel processing for scenarios and templates, and tidier arrangements
for installation and generated files.
Anyone who thought it was easier to browse STEM results in Excel, think again! With
text and complexity-based filters for element and result selection, orthogonal selection
of variants for templates and scenarios, and graph selections modifiable
in situ (so you no longer have to re-draw a chart to add an element),
the results program reclaims its status as the ‘go to’ application for
navigating the results of STEM models, large and small. The new
Slice option allows you to include interactive short-list selections
for any chart or table, and extra proportional-difference operations are available
for so-called ‘edge’ or ‘corner’ comparisons across any
dimension of the results.
The new features of STEM 7.5 are described in detail in our latest help resource.
This is available online (via the panel opposite ) so you can read all about the
new features even before you have installed the new software.
STEM 7.5 is fully compatible with models created in version 7.4, but models saved
with STEM 7.5 cannot be read back into STEM 7.4 or earlier versions without manual
input from support.
