*Fixing PDOK software download limit of a 1000 units for buildings. This will be a hotfix.
We are continuously working on improving the {{software}}, largely based on user feedback. We foresee the following developments for the future:
*New Distribution network. It will be possible to import and export different types of networks and their attributes via Excel using TQL. (Tygron Query Language)
*Overlays will run on the GPU with the possibility of having more instances of every type. Also a new AVG overlay based on attributes.
*Terrains have attributes now and they can function as being subterranean. For example peat or clay surfaces.


==Further development for 2017==
*Remodeling of the current level system to a system in where multiple scenarios can be evaluated. This increases the possibility to do more analysis on the model.
 
*More R&D into GPU accelerated calculations.
The following developments are still in the planning stage:
*Improving the User Interface based on user feedback.


*Continuing development on the HEAT network system.
We are always open for your feedback on our roadmap.
*More R&D into GPU accelerated calculations.
*New Selection and Overlay system. The current system is too heavy and is restricting further development. We are moving to an GPU accelerated system.
*Start menu overhaul and new domain management and project selection info.
*Improvement of loading GEO data and more flexibility for Clients to customize the data.
*Improving the UI based on user feedback.
*Generic Grid Overlays. User can make custom overlays based on his own formulas.

The R&D department of Tygron develops new technology for the Tygron Platform. The long term planning which shows the introduction of new features and versions is what we call the Roadmap. Your user feedback is crucial for us to determine the roadmap. Currently we are working on new features according to this Roadmap, minor updates, bug fixes, etc.

Servers

The online availability of the Tygron Platform is split up between three different server environments, each with their own dedicated purpose.

engine.tygron.com (Long Term Support)

Updated approximately once per year, the Long Term Support server (LTS) at engine.tygron.com is the most stable version of the Tygron Platform, and is specifically for long term projects that need a stable environment. Sometimes circumstances lead to extra updates or hot fixes outside the Roadmap, often due to hardware, driver or Operating System updates.

preview.tygron.com (Preview)

The preview server (preview.tygron.com) is updated more often and will contain more recent new features. Because these new features are not fully tested and optimized yet, and are prone to change based on end user feedback, the preview server is not well suited for long term projects. The release cycle on this preview server usually consists of 2 months of roadmap development and 1 month of user feedback fixes and additional bug fixes.

All registered users have access to both the LTS and the preview servers. The main menu offers an option to switch to the other server by downloading the appropriate client.

  • LTS server

  • Preview server

  • Test server

  • LTS server

  • Preview server


Test server

The third server is our dedicated development and test environment. New features are first published in this environment, and tested internally for functionality, compatibility and stability. End users do not automatically have access to this development and test environment.

What to expect

Some new functionalities we are planning to release on the Tygron LTS Server 2024 are:

  • 3D Cesium Web Viewer
  • Improvements for groundwater calculations such as microrelief and uploading seepage pressure and resistance
  • Improved possibilities for organising Indicators and Overlays

For the most recent overview of released and planned features see https://www.tygron.com/roadmap/

25 million 250 million 1 billion 4 billion 16 billion 64 billion
Pascal Volta Ampere Hopper

Further developments

We are continuously working on improving the Tygron Platform, largely based on user feedback. We foresee the following developments for the future:

  • Remodeling of the current level system to a system in where multiple scenarios can be evaluated. This increases the possibility to do more analysis on the model.
  • More R&D into GPU accelerated calculations.
  • Improving the User Interface based on user feedback.

We are always open for your feedback on our roadmap.

Version numbers

The version numbers consist of 4 digits: For example: 2017.1.4.2

  • 2017: The main number represents the year of LTS release.
  • 1: This represents the preview release, in this case the first quarter of the year.
  • 4: Represents a small update for a feature/bug where the API has been changed.
  • 2: Represents an even smaller update or hotfix where the API explicitly does NOT change
