What Is New in Kinetics Neo

Release History

BUild 2.7.24163.15

Important, Fixed: Microsoft warned that 2 external packages used in Kinetics Neo have at least one vulnerability with high severity. Components are updated.
Added: Pre-installed exampled for the calculation of Master Plot in model-free analysis, containing ideal simulated data for Reaction typesReaction type is the elementary mechanism of one individual reaction step in multi-step chemical reaction. Reaction type f(Cr, Cp) describes dependence of the reaction rate for individual reaction step on the concentrations of reactant Cr and product Cp for this step.reaction types F1, F2, Bna, An, Cmn, R3 and D1. New document "Master Plot Verification" for explaining of Master Plot for the simulated data of known reaction types is published in the section “Learn”.
Added: new button "My Feedback" on the ribbon Help. Now it is possible to write a feedback about Kinetics Neo software.
Fixed: Master Plot calculations. In several cases the wrong logarithm base was used.
Fixed: Help for curing with diffusion control (exponent was missing in two equations). However, the Kinetics Neo software itself is not changed because it uses correct formulas from the very beginning..
Fixed: Web links to sources of model-free methods Ozawa and Numerical are now adjusted in correspondence with the changing of the structure of scientific magazines. Now these links lead to the articles again.

build 2.6.24029.11

Added: curing reactions with diffusion control to DEA project type. It is renamed to "DEA Curing" .
Added: curing reactions with diffusion control to project type Viscosity project type. It is renamed to "Viscosity Curing".
Added: Predictions of Time-Temperature-Transition diagram (TTT) with vitrification curve for project types "DEA Curing" and "Viscosity Curing".
Added: Calculation of glass transition temperature for predictions based on project types "DEA Curing" and "Viscosity Curing".
Added: default file names are now shown when exporting data into TXT files.
Corrected: in Help article about Vyazovkin analysis the equations are added.
Other small improvements and bug fixes.

build 2.6.23256.9

build 2.6.23024.8

build 2.6.22320.7

Added: Steps in Multiple Step Prediction can be copied. Now it is much easier to add a new step in a middle of complex multi-step temperature program.
Improved: Better simulation at very high temperatures for multi-step consecutive reactions having low-temperature reaction steps.
Improved: by exporting data in model-free analysis additional columns for temperature and conversion are added.
Improved: concentration now may be also shown in relative values.
Fixed: Import text data files are now aware of different not consistent using of spaces and commas.
Other small improvements and bug fixes.

build 2.6.22061.2

The name of SBC reaction type in model-based analysis is corrected. Correct name is: SbC – Sbirrazzuoli Crystallization (Sestak-Berggren + Hoffman-Lauritzen).
Initial parameters for SB model are also adjusted to have better initial fit.
Other smaller improvements and bug fixes.

build 2.6.22047.1

build 2.5.21270.6

build 2.5.21208.4

Fixed: the incorrect Internet address of our license server.

build 2.5.21204.3

New: two baselines Right Tangential and Tangential for the viscosity data.
New: fire temperature preset "Presets_Fire_slow_heat_EN1363-2.txt".
New: additional export of isoconversional lines for ASTM E698, E2890, E1641, Friedman, OFW, KAS in Export Data.
New: Model Based chart now contain subtitle. Title is a model type and the Subtitle is user-defined model description.
New: SplashScreen is added. It is visible from the application start until the main window is shown.
Improved: labels in Data Export of Crystallization According to NakamuraCrystallization according to Nakamura is the crystal growth model for non-isothermal crystallization kinetics during cooling.Nakamura model: (a) brackets in equation T-(Tg-30) and (b) units for nucleation parameter KG. All calculations previously and now are made correctly and remain unchanged.
Fixed: Data Export for model free methods DynamicArrhenius and IsothermalArrhenius.
Fixed: Data Export for predictions with Y-axis "Sum of Peaks".
Other small improvements and bug fixes.

Build 2.5.21055.1

New: Kinetics Neo is pure 64-bit software now and uses advantages of 64-bit version of Windows.
New: Y-axis mode Sum of Peaks: presents the total curve as the sum of individual reaction peaks.
New: Prediction Adiabatic 24 (TD24): Find the start temperature for adiabatic process with maximal heating rate in 24 hours.
New: Predictions based on external temperature profile. This is a text file which contains your temperature program.
New: Prediction of material behavior under pre-defined Fire Conditions. This method uses standard file presets loaded into external temperature profile prediction.
New: Model-free method: Vyazovkin.
New: Analysis of rheology data.
New: Prediction of viscosity.
New: Online Web Services, displays your subscriptions, possibility to be informed about and downloads new software versions.
Improved: The calculationof the first and the last points for Friedman Method and for Numeric method.
Improved: Two digits after comma are shown for the heating rate in dialog Predictions-Multiple Step.
Kinetics Neo project file has a new structure and has file extension KINX2. The KINX files can also be opened.
Fixed: Y-Axis Title is changed for KAS and ASTM E2890 from "LOG" to "LN". Calculations were correct and stay unchanged.
Fixed: import from project of Thermokinetics 3.1 where measured files have Japanees names.
Fixed: In the climatic predictions data the Oslo is located in the correct country.
Other small improvements and bug fixes.
