Toolboxes

• muitoolbox: Several checks added to catch incorrect returns. Added  modifyVariableType, selectDataset and selectCaseDatasetvariable to muiCatalogue and functions to readspreadsheet and get_variable (for use in conjunction with selectui). Some minor enhancements to utilities and bug fixes.
• dstoolbox: Minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Apps

• Asmita: Re-wrote handling of fixity, and the way interventions that are fixed are handled. Modified Interventions tab to display incremental or cumulative change and added Figure button.
• CoastalTools: Fixed bug using datetime format in ct_data_cleanup. Removed class ctBlueKenueData and replaced with ctModelData and format function bluekenue_ts_format.m.  Added binned_wave_climate function.
• CSTmodel: Restructured data format to hold along channel form in separate table. Added the decomposition of imported data to be directly comparable with CSTmodel output. New functions for this are cst_decompose_velocity and cst_phaselag. Help and manual updated, including documentation of the outputs.
• ModelSkill: Changed call from getSubDomain to gd_subdomain in GDinterface and getUserTools.

Asmita

• Updated function for simple_tide now used.
• Utility to update models to latest version of code added.
• Tool to plot multiple elements from PlotUI added.
• Added matrix condition checks and option to display a summary plot during run time.
• Added check that toolboxes are installed. Implemented checks when using Response tab.
• Modified saltmarsh bio-enhanced settling and other limits on erosion to a common approach (ws=0). This includes a check that volume cannot be larger than element defining prism (SxH).

CoastalTools

• Added function to analyse cycles in tidal range data.
• Modified handling of obliques waves near shore in the refraction model.
• Corrected bug in nearshore wave model when using the surf zone depth option (NaN), causing function to misread the offshore depth.

dstoolbox

• Added check when adding row dimension to force a column vector

muitoolbox

• Updated templates in templates folder.
• Corrected bug in saveanimation2file.
• Added option to add reference line to Rose plots
• Added option to edit DSproperties from the App UI.
• Derive output options extended to work with multiple output variables.
• Improvements to Stats and Edit UIs.
• Modified inputUI so that input figure cannot be lost behind other windows when in use.

• Added option to use drift rate as basis of equilibrium for ‘Beachface’, ‘Shoreface’, ‘Spit’, ‘DeltaFlat’ type elements.
• Improved handling of loops in drift definition to prevent infinite recursion.
• Added option for edge and/or surface of saltmarsh to erode.
• Added saltmarsh sensitivity plot to show how equilibrium depth varies as a function of sediment load and the rate of sea level rise, with the model settings in use.
• Added option for interventions to be erodible or non-erodible.
• Added option to scale the y-axis values when using a pivot plot.
• Script available to update v3.3 models to v3.4 – contact me using enquiries@coastalsea.uk

Some minor fixes have also been made to the muitoolbox as follows:

• Added ‘Differences’ to plot scaling options.
•  Added check when adding new variables to a plot that x-axis data are compatible.
• Added trap when viewing case settings for multi-object vectors that cannot be displayed in the table.
• Added function to access the model property data as a table (as displayed on tabs but returned as a table).
• Option to reload a Case changed to copy input properties, so that the new settings are independent of the source Case.
• Fixed error plotting animations to correctly plot surfaces and contour plots.

• Added functions and scripts to run Asmita from the command line or in batch mode.
• Added Unit testing for set of models that test the range of functionality available.
• Added option to Time plots to use a pivot year to define the start point (y-value and time) for all lines included on plot.
• Modified handling of saltmarsh equilibrium when water depth is zero and removed scaling to initial values for saltmarsh and storage elements.
• Added option to use time-varying horizontal and vertical exchanges.
• Added moving surface area to output variables (to view interventions).
• Changed reporting of depths when volume or surface area are zero.
• Updated unit tests and manual.

Some minor fixes have also been made to the muitoolbox as follows:

• Error in check for model version number corrected in muiModelUI.
• Correct bug in muiCatalogue.m when displaying case properties to catch tables and timeseries.
• Option to suppress prompt added so that model runs in silent mode (e.g. in unit testing).
• Fix call to Save and Save As when opening a new file.

New Training packs have been added for CoastalTools and Asmita. These now use Matlab LiveScripts as well as the Apps.

The following fixes have also been made for this release:

As ever, if you find issues with the new versions, do let us know and we will do our best to provide fixes or work-arounds.

Coastal Tools and Asmita have both been migrated to the new platform. In addition, a number of new Apps have been added, including ChannelForm, CSTmodel, ModelSkill, ModeUI, and SedTools. Further details are provided here and the Toolboxes and Apps can be downloaded here.

• Added inlet model to allow more complex ebb-flood delta configurations to be modelled;
• Added option to define element specific equilibrium using tidal range rather than tidal prism;
• Updated Unit Testing code.
