IDAES-PSE 2.5.0 Release Highlights
Upcoming Changes
- IDAES will be switching to the new Pyomo solver interface in the next release. Whilst this will hopefully be a smooth transition for most users, there are a few important changes to be aware of.
- The new solver interface uses a different version of the IPOPT writer (“ipopt_v2”) and thus any custom configuration options you might have set for IPOPT will not carry over and will need to be reset.
- By default, the new Pyomo linear presolver will be activated with ipopt_v2. Whilst are working to identify any bugs in the presolver, it is possible that some edge cases will remain.
- IDAES will begin deploying a new set of scaling tools and APIs over the next few releases that make use of the new solver writers.
- The old scaling tools and APIs will remain for backward compatibility but will begin to be deprecated.
New Models, Tools and Features
- New diagnostics check for near-parallel variables and constraints.
- New diagnostics tools for identifying causes of infeasibility in models.
- New example for creating a custom model of a liquid-liquid extractor unit operation.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug in Gibbs reactor that caused it to appear to have additional spurious degrees of freedom.
- Fixed bug in the Modular Property Framework that would cause errors when trying to use phase-based material balances with phase equilibria.
- Fixed bug in Modular Properties Framework that caused errors when initializing models with non-vapor-liquid phase equilibria.
Testing and Robustness
- Deployed the IDAES Diagnostics Toolbox to confirm that there are no structural or numerical issues in the core model libraries.
- Additional robustness tests for core model, and some associated improvements in the converge tester class.
- Fixed a number of issues that were causing unexpected warnings to be emitted during testing.
Deprecations and Removals
Removed examples for RIPE tool which has not been supported for a number of releases.
