<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The version 3.3 of the simulation package VITESS has been released. It can be downloaded from the internet site http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/vitess.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The main new feature is the addition of the ESS butterfly moderator characteristics in the SOURCE module. Apart from several bug fixes, there are some other improvements:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- a more realistic detection time is calculated in the DETECTOR module for solid layer area detectors<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- the SAMPLE_NXS library is updated and an example instrument added<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- the option to write zero entries in the matrix output of EVAL_ELAST2 is added for easier handling with Matlab<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- the filter module can be used combining the parameters by 'AND OR AND' (in addition to 'AND' and 'OR')<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking forward to getting feedback on your experiences with the new version - (<a href="mailto:vitess@helmholtz-berlin.de">vitess@helmholtz-berlin.de</a>) - and once again invite users to subscribe to our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/VitessTeam,
to keep in touch with the VITESS developers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The VITESS team<o:p></o:p></p>
