Release notes:

  • This beta version of EP Workbench is our first public release of the software for Academic and Research use.

    • Data import from OpenEP, openCARP, CVI42, and VTK supported.

    • Interactive visualisation of voltage, LAT, conduction velocity on 3D cardiac models.

    • ECG signal analysis and annotation tools included.

    • Remote simulation runs on ARCHER2 (UK National Supercomputing Service).

    • Support for custom Python code snippets as plug-and-play.

    • Export functionality to OpenEP, openCARP, and CSV formats.

    • Mesh Editor in Linux: Mesh editor tool in the Linux version has been temporarily disabled due to incompatibility in updates of dependent libraries.

    • Simulation retrieval: Larger files from remote servers may timeout; manual retrieval recommended as a workaround.

    • Mapping points: Slow performance observed during deletion or restoration of points due to background visualisation calculations. Disabling auto-interpolation in preferences may improve performance.
