The latest version release of FormuSense provides users with enhanced data assembly features.

A variety of new features and changes add capability and flexibility to the Data Assembly stage of FormuSense. Users may now edit formulation data and implement enhanced replacement rules to ingredient properties, process conditions, and quality data. Complete version release notes are provided below.

Release Notes

Below is an expandable summary of new features added and changes implemented in FormuSense as part of the version released in January 2025. This version is referred to as the Enhanced Data Assembly Release.

What’s New

Data
    • Formulations:
      • Edit any formulation – Editable properties include: formulation name, product family, included ingredients, and ingredient fraction/percent/quantity. Note: Applying any formulation edits will reset all project file configurations beyond the Data screen
    • Process Conditions:
      • Replacement rules – Ability to replace multiple instances of numeric or non-numeric process condition data with user-defined inequality statements (>, <, =). Replacement rules are only applied to the active process condition block. Note: Any transforms created using process conditions will be deleted if the user applies any edits to any process conditions in Data. Models that include process conditions or related transforms may also need to be updated, and any simulations or optimizations based on affected models will be deleted.
    • Quality:
      • Replacement rules – Ability to replace multiple instances of numeric or non-numeric quality data with user-defined inequality statements (>, <, =). Replacement rules are only applied to the active quality block. Note: Any models that include quality variables will need to be updated after the user applies any edits to any quality in Data. Any simulations or optimizations based on affected models will be deleted.

What’s Changed

Data
    • Ingredient properties
      • Replacement rules – Inequality statements (>, <, =) have been added to enhance the usefulness of this feature. Replacement rules are now only applied to the active ingredient class. Note: Generated mixture properties are deleted if the user applies any edits to any ingredient properties in Data, however mixture property configurations are retained. Any transforms generated using mixture properties will be deleted. Models that include mixture properties or transforms may also need to be updated, and any simulations or optimizations based on affected models will be deleted.
Ratios
    • Ratios are automatically regenerated if the user edits any formulations in Data.
Mixture Properties
    • Generated mixture properties are deleted if the user edits any ingredient property in Data. Mixture property configurations are retained.
Transforms
    • Generated transforms are deleted if the user edits a dependent variable in Data. Unaffected transforms remain present. Note: Applying edits in Data may affect some, but not all, transforms. It is best practice to review transforms after making edits in Data to ensure that any affected transforms are reconfigured and regenerated.
Modeling
    • Generated models are deleted if the user edits a formulation in Data. Applying edits to ingredient properties, process conditions, or quality may affect some models. Note: It is best practice to review modeling after making any edits in Data to ensure that any affected models are reconfigured and regenerated.
Simulation
    • Any simulations based on models affected by edits to Data will be deleted.
Optimization
    • Any optimizations based on models affected by edits to Data will be deleted.
