Release Notes / Altair Embed, Altair Embed SE, Altair Embed Basic, and Altair Embed Viewer
The most significant addition to the 2022.1 release is the availability of Embed, Embed SE, and Embed Basic as 64-bit applications.
The advantages are twofold: Embed can exchange data with other 64-bit applications, and Embed can more precisely simulate
diagrams that retain large amounts of data and run with small time steps.
Additionally, the new eDrives add-on module, available as a separate purchase and install, provides a highly efficient environment
covering all phases of developing control systems for a wide range of electric drives covering most electrical machines used in industry.
By using the eDrives blocks and ready-to-use examples, you can shorten the development time to implement embedded electrical
control systems.
