McStas/McXtrace version 3.6.1

What's Changed - Main Highlights:

Overall release focus:

• Code quality improvements: Suppression of warnings from c-compilers and our static code analysis tool cppcheck
• Continuous integration improvement: Any change in instrument/component code is tested via GitHub CI features

New tool features / capabilities:

• mcrun/mxrun simulation launch tool: (@willend)
  • Scans can be parallelised at the "step number" level, use --scan_split. Contribution from @Lomholy.
  • If installed, cppcheck can be used to perform static code analysis on the generated code, use -C/--c-lint?
  • Improved string-handling in input parameters, e.g. in use with NCrystal config strings. Contribution from @tkittel.
• mcplot/mxplot simulation plot tools: (@willend)
  • Better support for 'intermediate saves' done via kill -USR2 or Progress_bar, and plots should work on an unfinished simulation.
  • Plotting a completed simulation with 'intermediate saves' will give you latest plot version in the 2D case and multiple, overplotted curves in the 1D case
  • The mcplot-matlab/mxplot-matlab tool is back. You need to manually install either Matlab or Octave to make use of this
• mcdisplay/mxdisplay instrument visualisation tools: (@willend)
  • On conda-based installations, the mcdisplay-cad/mxdisplay-cad tool includes the cadquery dependency. On completion of building the model, the OS is asked to handle the resulting CAD model.
  • The mcdisplay-matlab/mxdisplay-matlab tool is back. You need to manually install either Matlab or Octave to make use of this
  • For better integration with McStasScript, the mcdisplay-webgl-classic/mxdisplay-webgl-classic is used in such scenarios
  • The 'newer/fancy' mcdisplay-webgl/mxdisplay-webgl based on THREE.js, react and other javascript requires a slightly time-consuming installation process on 1st launch. The user now gets an info box about this.
  • The McStas-specific mcdisplay-mantid IDF generator tool received a bug fix for OFF geometry detectors.
• mcdoc/mxdoc documentation tool: (@willend)
  • Higher quality / more complete comp/instr doc pages
• mctest/mxtest test tool: (@willend)
  • Easier to use locally for component/instrument developers

Components and instruments:

McXtrace:

• The Fluorescence components have a new flag to enhance statistics/signal from low concentration materials. Work by @farhi.

McStas:

• The Union subsystem now handles 'surface physics' with the introduction of a system of refraction/reflection processes on geometry surfaces. Work by @mads-bertelsen.
• The Union subsystem now has a functional 3D-mesh system (Union_mesh) that supports CAD style geometries. (Ascii/binary STL files and OFF files are supported. - For now only those with triangular meshing.) Work by @Lomholy.
• As part of the overall code-quality improvement process, various aspects of the Union subsystem have been tested / improved / revised. Contributions by @tkittel and @willend in close collaboration with @mads-bertelsen.
• New ISIS-related instrument files, components and data:
  • ISIS_LET by Ross Stewart and Rob Bewley, serves as test-instrument for Commodus_I3 (ISIS source model - corresponds to ViewModISIS with a different parameter interface)
  • Updated / larger set of input files for the ISIS moderator components
  • Multilayer_sample from Rob Dalgliesh was updated with nrepeats which allows to repeat an SLD material stack. ISIS_CRISP was updated to include this feature.
  • TOF_PSDmonitor_toQ is a new component with built-in data reduction from Rob Dalgliesh. Uses ToF to calculate Q. Test_TOF_PSDmonitor_toQ is a basic instrument to showcase the component.
• Several of the basic McStas sample components received a systematic validation against analytical methods, thanks to @Lomholy with help from KU/NBI students.
• As part of the overall code-quality improvement process, the whole component / instrument base got a BIG overhaul as such (@willend)

Platform support:

• The Windows/conda platform which uses the MSVC compiler is now fully functional for all McStas code and a good part of the McXtrace code. As part of this process a new header-file mccode-complex-lib.h should be used by all code requiring complex numbers. (Implements functions for e.g. +-*/ operations across platforms - MSVC does not self implement these operations...) @willend
