Release Notes [v2.0.0]

New Features

  • Management and Decision Tables: Improved Management adaptation user interface
  • New Portable Project structure.
  • Parallel Calibration: You can now use up to 192 processes to run calibration using any calibration method. This depends on the capability of your computer.
  • KGE now added to list of available bjective functions for calibration.
  • Parallel Sensitivity Analysis: You can now use up to 192 processes to run sensitivity analysis using any selected sensitivity analysis method.
  • New Objective Funtions for Sensitivity Analysis: You can check the ranking of your parameters using different objective functions after you have already made the sensitivity runs.
  • New Calibration Method: CALSI is a new brute force style calibration method which also gives fine grained control in how it is executed. Refer to the CALSI documentation for more details (https://celray.github.io/SWATPlusToolbox/automatic-Calibration/#calsi-algorithm).
