9. Optimization
New in Micro Saint Sharp Version 3.5
These new enhancements can be found in this release:

1. We have added many new Sample Models for version 3.5 that show how to use many of
the features of Micro Saint Sharp. Each model has a description and detailed comments.
2. A new Start Page now shows when Micro Saint Sharp launches that gives you a quick way
to open your recent files, open sample models, and view news and announcements.
3. New Experimenter ability allows you specify variables and ranges for a variety of inputs
and run all of the possible permutations. You can now easily define multiple experimental
runs and specify multiple iterations for each condition.
4. The Model Runtime Export has been improved to allow you to export models that use
Animator, Animator3D, Object Designer, and/or the Communications capabilities. You
can also now name your runtime application and define runtime execution settings (number
of times to execute, random number seed, etc.)
5. You can now Quickly Add Variables to the variable catalog directly from text in an
expression field

6. Quickly Insert Variables directly into your model expression code using the right-click
menu.
7. New Export to HTML option permits you to view using an HTML tree view display with
clickable task diagrams and display. You can send the HTML files to others that need to
review the model structure but do not own Micro Saint Sharp.
8. New Histogram Viewer allows you to quickly generate a graphical chart of your snapshot
data in histogram form.

9. A Pathfinding Capability has been added to Animator and Animator3D that allows you
to define waypoints that are on a direct path with each other then use the new GetRoute
and GetRouteDistance functions to have Micro Saint Sharp find the shortest route from
one point to another.
10. Enhanced Notes feature now allows WYSIWYG text editing functionality.
11. You can now enable/disable Model Variance for any particular execution.

12. The Grid Editor has been enhanced to support editing reference tasks.
13. Use the new Console communication protocol to interact with command line applications.
