Hi everybody and welcome to the MES Tool Release 
Highlights of Winter 2026. My name is Alexander

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.600
and I'm excited to show you the latest changes 
of the tool MES Model & Refactor® (MoRe).

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:21.120
These are the four biggest points since the last 
newsletter that I would like to show you today. All

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:22.880
changes are related to the 'Auto

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:26.400
Layout' functionality of MoRe. 
We improved the block height

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.760
adjustment. We have fewer line crossings and 
bends in our subsystems. We also improved the

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.400
layout of feedback loops, and we implemented 
a cancel button so you can stop your 'Auto

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:39.440
Layout' when working on really big subsystems and

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:42.800
it takes too long. So let us 
head over to Simulink so

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:47.920
I can show you the changes directly in the tool. 
First, I would like to show you the improved layout

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.640
of feedback loops. Crossings of signal lines 
in a feedback loop are now preferably placed

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.360
at the outermost left or right part of the loop. 
This avoids unnecessary line bends. In the old

00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:05.360
version of MoRe, when you use 'Auto Layout', 
you get the crossing here. But obviously,

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.520
we would like to have the crossing here. 
So, let me show you the improved result on

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:18.320
the latest version. When you use 'Auto Layout' 
here, as you can see, the result is much better.

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:25.920
Another benefit of this is that it prevents 
feedback loops from crossing themselves. As you

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:33.040
can see here in the old version of MoRe, we have 
a crossing here and this is quite hard to read. In

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.880
the latest version of MoRe, this is prevented. As 
you can see here, we do not have a self-crossing.

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:43.280
We have more crossings here, but they are much 
easier to read, and the signal flow is much

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.760
easier to follow. The next thing I would like to show 
you is that in large subsystems, unnecessary line

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.280
crossings and bends are now avoided more often 
by improving the vertical block order. In the old

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.720
version of MoRe, for example, here you can see we 
have a really big model and after using the 'Auto

00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:07.600
Layout' operation, we can see that we still 
have some line crossings left. We improved

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:13.440
this behavior in the newest version. So if you use 
'Auto Layout' in the latest version of MoRe, you

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:18.800
can see the improved result. For a brief moment 
you can also see the cancel button here. But this

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.280
is not a really big model, so the cancel button 
is only available for one short moment of time.

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.120
But you can imagine if you have a longer running 
optimization, this can be handy. As you can see

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.040
here, we now have no line crossings here and a 
really clean layout. The last thing I would like to

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:39.920
show you today is the improvement 
of the block height adjustment,

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:42.160
resulting in straighter lines. When you

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:49.520
use the old version of MoRe in this example, you 
can see that these two blocks here and there are

00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.240
not height adjusted to the rest of the model, 
and this results in a lot of steps and these

00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:02.800
signal lines here. But when you use MoRe in the 
latest version, you can see that these blocks are

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.920
now height adjusted according to the rest of the 
model, and we have no steps, resulting in a really

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:15.440
compact layout here. So that is it for today. 
Thank you for your time and see you next time!
