2022x Refresh2 introduces improvements to MagicGrid projects, as now you can easily create additional MagicGrid package structures for components and subsystems in MagicGrid projects.
2022x Refresh2 presents various enhancements to server-side simulation, including the ability to generate Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) for external co-simulation, live Timeline charts allowing real-time monitoring and analysis of simulation data, and improved server-simulation with UI. Additionally, this release introduces triangular distribution support for random input generation, support for Behavior Ports, enhancements to the Watch Pane, including the ability to export Watch items to a SelectPropertiesConfig, and more.
The 2022x Refresh2 release introduces performance improvements to both the client-side and Teamwork Cloud-side, as well as general modeling and collaborative modeling enhancements.
The client-side performance enhancements include improved validation performance and decreased table opening time.
For general modeling, this release presents new syncing with Excel options, the ability to temporarily activate or deactivate legends without the diagram lock, and automated package structure creation.
Additionally, collaborative modeling is improved with a new file exchange format .szip, allowing faster transfer of models between OEMs and suppliers, the ability to view Teamwork Cloud data markings in MagicDraw, and other enhancements. Also, Power'By has been updated with standard profiles migration and the ability to cut used project references if the used project is not found.

2022x Refresh2 introduces an option to easily create MagicGrid package structures for any additional components and subsystems within the solution domain you may require in your model. Previously, this could have been achieved by copy-pasting an existing subsystem or component package; however, now you can do that via the Create Package Structure action, providing you with a fast and easy approach.

2022x Refresh2 presents multiple server-side simulation improvements, making model analysis more effective and providing a better user experience.

The latest version introduces a powerful new feature: the ability to generate a Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU) for external co-simulation of dynamic models. This functionality allows you to exchange simulation results between different simulation tools, enabling a more collaborative and integrated approach to modeling and simulation.
You can easily create an FMU which exposes the model's input and output parameters defined in a Simulation Configuration. This FMU can then be used to run server-side simulations of this Simulation Configuration, utilizing the provided inputs and returning outputs after each time step.
Generating an FMU and using it in another simulation tool.
Server-side simulation now supports live Timeline charts. With this latest update, you can view Activity and State plots in real-time, making monitoring and analyzing your simulation data easier and more efficient.
When simulating a Simulation Configuration with a specified UI, you can now open an index UI window that displays all UI elements in separate boxes. An index UI window allows you to easily reorder and resize each individual UI, giving you more control and flexibility in customizing your simulation experience.

In addition to the widely-used uniform and normal distributions, the new version now supports triangular distribution for generating random input values. This new feature offers greater flexibility in model simulation and can help you achieve more accurate simulation results. After applying the «triangular» stereotype, you can easily generate random input values based on the minimum, maximum, and peak values specified for a given Value Property.
The new release includes support for Behavior Ports during simulation. If a port is designated as a behavior, all incoming requests will be immediately passed to the owning classifier while ignoring all delegation connectors.
The new version allows you to create an Internal Transition and set its trigger or effect by simply using the drag-and-drop functionality.
The Select Port dialog now displays only the Ports that are associated with the context.

Evaluate Operation Performance
If you are tired of seeing progress bars while performing various operations in the tool, you can now use the Evaluate Operation Performance functionality, which allows you to view performance diagnostics that help determine the reasons behind degraded tool performance if it is caused by the execution of expressions (e.g., derived properties, smart packages, legends, validation rules) defined in the model. You can also analyze the building of matrixes and tables.
Additionally, you can now see the language recommendations based on their performance. The recommendations are visible via the 'recommended' indication and the performance indicator icon in the language selection menu. The icon color reflects the performance: green for fast (Binary, Structured Expression, Groovy), yellow for medium, and red for slow. It allows you to see the languages' performance when choosing one for your operations and make an informed decision.
Validation Performance Improvements. Running the validation on the entire model or a selected part is 2-5 times faster, depending on the model, than in 2022x Refresh1.

Table Performance Improvements
Table Performance Improvements. Opening a table is now significantly faster than in 2022x Refresh1. Tables with a large number of rows and columns (especially custom columns) will have noticeably decreased opening times.

Installation file for Apple M1/M2. 2022x Refresh1 release provides two different installation files for macOS based on its processor architecture: in addition to the x86 one, now there is also a separate installation file for the one based on ARM (i.e., Apple M1). It is bundled with ARM architecture Java. The modeling tool runs up to 2-3 times faster with ARM architecture Java on Apple M1.
A new UI Font environment option is now available, allowing you to change the default font the application should be displayed in. This change also supports the correct display of non-Latin scripts.
The Standard/Expert UI modes are now removed from the Structured Expressions dialogs. Instead, the dialogs are now fully featured by default without the need to switch between modes.
From now on, you can create project disclaimer configurations to display custom disclaimers upon opening a project. The disclaimers can contain any information you want project users to be aware of before opening the project. Learn more about project disclaimer configurations >>
Instead of displaying individual error notifications of the same type, they are now grouped based on their type (expression creation failure, expression evaluation failure, model change and diagram load in expressions), allowing a more compact display of notifications (see the image below).
The 2022x Refresh1 version of the modeling tool can show custom announcements to users. Managed through Teamwork Cloud Admin, these announcements can contain information on server-wide upgrades, project-specific deadlines, or any other important news. An announcement is displayed in the modeling tool UI until a user acknowledges it by closing.

We introducePower'by – a new way to collaborate on models within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform environment. For programs and projects requiring models to span across multiple engineering disciplines, Power'by allows leveraging native 3DEXPERIENCE platform capabilities, such as access control, advanced configuration management, traceability through the digital thread, and many others. The initial release aims to provide core collaboration features: storing and loading projects, working on them simultaneously, and committing and updating changes as part of configuration management control.
