v2.1.0

[axtimhaus]

The first feature update of PyRolL 2 provides a couple of convenience features, technical features and several new hooks.

Major features

• Possibility to give callables of one parameter (self) as explicit values to any hook to quickly specify a local dynamic value. The function will be evaluated at every hook call. Add Explicit Hook Functions #79
• Possibility to define wrapper hook functions, that will automatically delegate the hook call to other functions lower in the pipeline. This offers the possibility of modifying values of underlying models. Wrappers will be executed before all normal hook functions. Hook Wrappers #74
• Add Profile.fits_material() as a standard way of checking material keys in parameter databases. Add fits_material Method to Profile #71
• Add hooks related to elongation efficiency, a measure of the relation between spread and elongation. Add elongation efficiency #66
• Add hooks related to cross-section filling and target filling. Implement cross-section area error analysis #83
• Add hooks regarding energy consumption and power. Hooks Regarding Energy Consumption #85
• Add convenience plot methods to profiles, roll passes and grooves. Add Plot Methods for Certain Objects #82

Minor features

• Add support for rich repr strings. 9ee26b4
• Add Unit.prev_of and Unit.next_of methods. impl Unit.prev_of and Unit.next_of methods #75
• Add properties to profiles and grooves for getting the constructor arguments. Remember init args #84
• Add a type property to Hook. add type property to Hook #88

Bugfixes

• Add default strain=0 for profiles. Add Default Strain=0 to Unit.InProfile #78
• Add transport velocity fallback to previous pass velocity. Add fallback of transport velocity getting from prev unit velocity #77
• Let get the pass sequence out profile the values from last subunit as fallback. overwrite PassSequence.OutProfile.root_hook_fallback with getting from last subunit #73
• Default duration of rotator is now 0. Add default duration = 0 to Rotator #70
• Default profile length = 0 now in Unit.InProfile. move default profile length = 0 to Unit.InProfile #72
• Remove updating the out profile from the last disk element. fix elongation efficiency #89
