New Features Phast 7.01 Phast 7.01 was released in March 2013 and is an update to the Phast 7.0 which was released in December 2012. This section outlines the changes made in the 7.01 update; the remainder (Page 9 onwards) of the document is unchanged from the Phast 7.0 release. Phast 7.01 introduces the new additional functionality of Chinese language. A number of bugs found after the release of Phast 7.0 have also been fixed. Phast 7.01 and Phast 7.0 are independent installations and can both be installed on the same computer. Chinese Language Phast 7.01 provides you with the ability to view the user interface language in simplified Chinese. This is the first release of Phast in another language. A key part of this development is to permit further languages in the future. A few areas of the program have not been translated into Chinese, namely: 1) GIS map 2) Chemical names 3) Units of measure 4) Proper names i.e. “Baker Strehlow Tang” 5) The Excel template used for study input and output There will always be a workspace open in the program In previous versions, the program could have no Study Folder open, either on start-up, or if you used the Close option in the File menu. In this situation there would be no Study Tree present. In v7.0, the program starts up with a new blank workspace already opened, and if you use the Close option in the File tab of the Ribbon bar, the current workspace will be closed and a new blank workspace will be opened. This means that the Study Tree is always present (unless you have manually closed every View in the Tree). Selection of Scenarios and Weathers for running is done directly in the tree In previous versions, a dialog called the Batch Setup dialog was used to choose which Models and Weathers would be included in a Batch Run, or when the calculations were run for the Study Folder node at the top of the tree. In v7.0 there is no Batch Setup dialog and no Batch Run option, and the only way to run calculations is to select a node in the Models tab and select Run. This will run all Scenarios under that node, for all Weathers in the Weather Folder that is selected for the Study for that node, except for Scenarios and Weathers that have been excluded from calculations using the Exclude from calculations option in the right-click menu, as shown in the illustration. If a Scenario or Weather has been excluded, its name will appear greyed-out in the tree, as shown for the Weather 01_Category 1.5/F in the illustration. If a Scenario or Weather is excluded, the menu option will change to Include in calculations, and you can use this to stop excluding the node. Studies created in either version are interchangeable between the two versions. However, we recommend uninstalling Phast 7.0 due to the bug fixes and improvements provided in Phast 7.01.
