It is painful that we have temporarily abandoned the simulation of the cleaning effect, in which we have already invested enormous development efforts. But not everything that is desirable is also feasible and useful, so we have expanded this function for the time being in response to feedback from our test users. The prediction of the cleaning effect is so complex that the simulation would not yet provide realistic results.
