What's New in this Version of MUSIC

There have been several functional and visual changes to MUSIC version 6.0. The largest is the introduction of MUSIC-link, which streamlines the process of assessing the compliance of water sensitive designs submitted by the development sector against guidelines from a specific assessing authority. Other significant changes are summarised below:

Version 6.2 (Build 1)

• Include Land use categories within a source node. See: Editing Source node Properties
• New Results Manager and charting tool is now available. Includes:
  • Different chart types:
    • Line
    • Exceedance
    • Cumulative
    • Difference
    • Residual Mass
    • Double Mass
    • Scatter
    • Frequency Histogram
    • Bar
  • Advanced table searching. See: Results Manager Table - Table Query Language
  • Direct graphing of flux files
• We have also modified a number of default values

Version 6.1 (Build 1)

• Evapotranspiration loss for Bioretention Node now taking into account seasonal variations.

• MUSIC-link
• The ability to import time-series flow files on source nodes;
• The ability to specify an initial volume for all storage nodes. Prior to this addition, the assumption was that the storage was full at the beginning of the model run;
• The ability to include a maximum draw down limit for all storage nodes with stormwater harvesting options;
• The ability to estimate the surface area for a sedimentation basin, and the inlet volume for wetland nodes;
• The ability to add multiple rainwater tanks (with the same properties) in a model;
• The inclusion of flow-based capture efficiency for the Gross Pollutant Trap and Generic node, allowing for improved handling of pollutants;
• Improvements in the re-use functionality for all treatment nodes with storage;
• Additional properties in the Vegetated Swale node, including Swale Capacity, providing a more clear indication of the results of changing parameters;
• The inclusion of a time-step timestamp in flux files, along with other file format changes to improve usage. Additionally, these files are now saved in the .csv format by default;
• Enhancements in command line functionality; and
• Several bug fixes, including zooming issues and font displays on some computers.

Version 5.1 (Build 16)

 MUSIC Version 5.1 includes a number of significant new features and enhancements, which are summarised below. Users are referred to the specified chapter below for further information:

• Fix incorporated to ensure "Load" Y-axis label is always correctly updated when "Load" radio button is selected in Advanced Charting window; and
• Fix incorporated to ensure that correct project window is selected/highlighted when trying to re-open a currently open project.
