Version 2.17.0

Released on 21.12.2022

Feature Highlights

Hierarchical BOM: Display hierarchical BOM information on BOM preview

BOM, or bill-of-materials, is a list of digital assets which contains the information about the type and quantity of all the components being used in a specific design.

With the release of this feature, we have embedded the configuration options in the BOM preview table. This feature will enable the users to have a desired view of the BOM and hide the unnecessary elements so that they are not distracted by the extra information.

Version 2.16.0

Released on 07.12.2022

Feature Highlights

Hierarchical BOM: Display hierarchical BOM information on BOM preview

BOM, or bill-of-materials, is a list of digital assets which contains the information about the type and quantity of all the components being used in a specific design.

With the release of this feature, we have implemented a tree structure functionality with the help of which we are able to display the hierarchical structure of Design blocks, CUBOs and components.

Hierarchical BOM: Display alternative information on the existing hierarchical BOM

This features allows the user to do a better selection of CUBOs without the need for trial and error, by displaying a main CUBO along with top three alternatives that are available within a single Design block. The user is able to change the selection of the main Subsystem or CUBO directly from the BOM preview.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed search on the Admin panel for resources
  • Fixed user creation validation

Version 2.15.0

Released on 23.11.2022

Feature Highlights

Hierarchical BOM: Visualization of current BOM on BOM Preview using Table capabilities

BOM, or bill of materials, is a list of digital assets which contains the information about the type and quantity of all the components being used in a specific design.

With the release of this feature, we have successfully changed our design system to improve the user experience on visualizing the BOM. This enables us to unlock more powerful features and customization options in the near future. 

Hierarchical BOM: Sorting & filtering capabilities

Hierarchical BOM will show us the detailed tree view of components, CUBOs and design blocks, and how they are related to each other.

Since the number of components can increase to large quantities and it can be difficult for the user to search for components, the new sort and filter functionalities have been implemented to simplify the search for the desired component data.

Version 2.14.0

Released on 26.10.2022

Feature Highlights

Validations on subsystem creation

Subsystems are complex digital assets that allow you to expand the reusability of your CUBOs through another layer of abstraction. It enables the mix-and-match of CUBOs to a much more granular level.

Creating great subsystems may be a bit more difficult if it is your first time doing that. For that reason, we added more validations directly in the canvas, so that anyone can quickly understand the important points and create high-quality subsystems.

  • Change requests automatically rejected when certain specifications are being added to CUBO
  • Directives not being properly exported for Altium schematic files
  • Issues with Softmodules with edge alignment properties

Version 2.13.0

Released on 26.08.2022

Feature Highlights

Workspace filters for data visualization

As a user with several Workspaces on your data portfolio, it is not always easy to identify to which Workspace a certain CUBO or Component belongs. With the Workspace filters, you can select only the relevant Workspaces for a certain search, and make sure you just find items within those Workspaces.

 

Support for design directives on Altium schematics

Design directives are a helpful feature from Altium Designer that allows engineers to preset some design constraints for design verification or to simplify the communication with other team members, for example PDB designers. Now, the platform supports the import and export of schematics containing design directives without loss of design information.

Bug Fixes

  • Placeholder CUBO contains the wrong category setting
  • Saving projects is enabling the workspace selection for legacy projects
  • Converter fails when parsing design files where net names are only numbers
  • Manage requests page is loading for too long
  • Fix for special characters in the name of blocks which break the block search
  • Some users see a blank page when checking the change history of resources
  • Oversized designators on Altium PCB layouts

 

Version 2.12.0

Released on 20.07.2022

Feature Highlights

Workspace selection of projects

By selecting an appropriate Workspace list on your project, you can control exactly from which Workspaces you want the solutions from your project to be loaded from. This feature gives you fine-tune capabilities to consider only approved CUBOs or CUBOs from a certain group of manufacturers.Configuring the Workspace selection filter on CELUS Supernova Project settings

Bug Fixes

  • Failure to download PDF for some projects after generation
  • Generated PDFs are not getting filenames updated
  • New CUBOs used on Board Shape canvas generate warnings
  • Some Subsystems are not appearing as solutions after compilation

 

Version 2.11.0

Released on 06.07.2022

Feature Highlights

Support links between Components and Virtual Components

Virtual Components are generic instances that can be used by hardware engineers to create an electronics design without the need to look for a proper off-the-shelf components on the market.

Now, library or component engineers can link several real off-the-shelf components to Virtual Components, with a pre-defined preference order set by drag-and-drop, to enable a generic design to be transformed into a proper BOM for purchasing.

Even if the first option is not available on the market, procurement will know the second and further preferred options from engineers, and will be able to proceed with purchasing without the need for further alignment.

Design Considerations 

Design Considerations are a helpful resource that can be created in form of questions that prevent engineers from forgetting important design aspects while setting technical attributes on a Design Block, depending on its category. Now, the assigned Design Considerations are displayed on the Design Canvas whenever the engineer selects the corresponding category, reducing the chances of something being skipped or forgotten.
