1 NEW FEATURES APPLICABLE TO ALL PHAST USERS
The following features are applicable to users of Phast and Phast Lite, and to users with and without the extensions for multi-component modelling and 3D explosion modelling.
Option to include Materials and Parameters data when exporting a workspace
An exported workspace file is a special format of *.psux file that can have external files that are associated with the workspace embedded inside it. You can use the Export Workspace option in the File menu to create a file in this format, acting as a “snapshot” of the state of the analysis at the time of the export. Exporting a workspace in this way allows you to transfer the exported workspace file with the full set of results and external supporting data to another machine, or to archive it.
When you select the Export Workspace option from the File menu, a dialog now
appears as shown allowing you to choose which type of data to include in the
exported workspace. The embedded external files can include the map image files
defined under any Raster Image Sets, and the System Materials files and System
Parameters files that are being used by the current workspace. The exported
workspace file will not include any GIS database files defined under an External
connection, as raster images are the only type of map image data included in the
export.
When you click on OK in the dialog, a File Save dialog will appear, prompting you for a file name and location for saving the exported workspace file.
You can use the Open option in the File menu to open an exported workspace directly, in the same way as with any other *.psux file. When you open an exported workspace file, the program will first extract the embedded data, which involves placing any map, materials and parameters files inside a system of subfolders underneath the workspace file. The program will then load the data from these external files into the workspace, which means that if the subfolders under the workspace include system materials or parameters data, the workspace will take its system values from these subfolders, instead of from the central location that is used by other workspaces on your machine.
Note: The Export Workspace option in the File menu is the most visible way of creating an exported workspace. However, the Email Software Support option in the Help tab of the Ribbon Bar also gives you the option to export the current workspace and attach the exported workspace to the email.
For further details of working with exported workspaces, enter “Exporting a workspace” in the Index tab of the online Help.

NEW FEATURES APPLICABLE TO USERS OF THE FULL PHAST
PROGRAM
These features are not available in Phast Lite.
Modelling of isolation and blowdown for time-varying releases
The input dialogs for the Pressure Vessel Equipment item and
the Time varying Leak and Time varying short pipe Scenarios
now include a Safety system modelling (isolation and
blowdown) field as shown in the Time varying releases tab
section.
If the field is set to No, the inventory is assumed to be isolated immediately, at the start of the release,
and blowdown is not considered. This is the approach that was used for the discharge modelling of all
time-varying Pressure Vessel releases in previous versions of the program.
If the field is set to Yes, a Safety systems tab will be present in the dialog as shown below.
Default values for Safety system modelling (isolation and blowdown) and for the two Time fields
