- MELCOR file preferences are now properly stored.
- The MELCOR core editor 3D rendering was improved.
UPDATE 10/9/2006: The MELCOR plug-in distribution has been updated.
Changes in this version include:

The initial location of the heat structure and control volume completion dialogs has been changed to the center of the model.
-
The Burn rate dialog was updated.
-
The Core component ASCII import routines were modified to support quoted strings for material names.
-
An issue was resolved that prevented model comments to properlt import.
-
An import errror was corrected for Core models that include lower head rings.
-
The scale factor property for control volumes was made optional.
-
The ASCII importer for the Control Function component was modified to be more robust when encountering unrecognized function types.
UPDATE 2/16/2006: The MELCOR plug-in distribution has been updated.
Changes in this version include:
- Added functionality to read and write the user specified names, descriptions, and comments of MELCOR components to ASCII files.
