Yano Simulator release notes

• Build number: 20260704
• Release date: July 05, 2026

⭐ Overview

Yano Simulator 0.1.0 marks the first release of our macOS system dynamics modeling app. This release brings the core Yano workflow into a refined desktop experience: build stock-and-flow models visually, run simulations, examine results, design interactive interfaces, document model structure, and exchange compatible models with other tools.

🚀 Highlights

• Visual stock-and-flow modeling on a dedicated canvas with stocks, flows, auxiliaries, connectors, and modules.
• Simulation controls built directly into the workspace, including simulate, advance, pause/resume, stop, restore, and playhead review.
• Interface Designer for polished page-based dashboards, controls, plots, indicators, and presentation-style model views.
• Full-fidelity .yano project packages for native project storage.
• Import support for compatible Yano, XMILE, and Vensim model files.
• Export support for XMILE, JSON, CSV reports, canvas images, PDF, HTML documentation, and LaTeX documentation.

✨ New in This Release

• Build models visually and edit behavior, units, documentation, and style from the Model Inspector.
• Use Workspace plots and tables to review simulation output and compare saved runs.
• Create interactive Interface pages with inputs, action buttons, gauges, values, plots, text, graphics, progress controls, and navigation controls.
• Start Interface pages from built-in templates such as Dashboard, Policy Lab, and Run Manager.
• Run Sensitivity Analysis with Monte Carlo and Markov Chain Monte Carlo workflows, including Random, Latin Hypercube, and Halton sampling methods.
• Run Model Optimization workflows with reusable payoff definitions and CSV result export.
• Generate Model Documentation reports with export options for HTML, CSV, and LaTeX.
• Encrypt native .yano projects for protected storage.
• Access built-in Help covering modeling workflows, simulation settings, equations, interface design, analysis tools, import/export, and troubleshooting.

🔄 Compatibility

• Native .yano packages are the primary editable project format for Yano Simulator.
• The app can import compatible XMILE (.xmile, .xml, .stmx) and Vensim MDL files.
• Imported third-party models may require review of equations, units, and run settings before production use.

⚠ Known Limitations

• Some imported XMILE or Vensim features may not have an exact equivalent and can produce compatibility warnings.
• Diagram Mode is intended for qualitative diagrams and disables per-variable simulation behavior.
• Some application areas or analysis actions may depend on the current subscription state.
• Canvas image and PDF export create visual output, not editable model files.
