Release 2.3.0
New features
Solver
- Added support for physical and mechanical properties of individual finite and joint discrete elements.
- Added the ability to run several projects sequentially via MENU -> Calculation series.
- For the Excavation and Change Properties stage types, multiple regions can now be selected.
- Added the ability to excavate an elastic region.
- Added a window with auto-fill settings for stage durations.
- Added validation for stage duration settings.Drawing
Drawing
- The ORTHO button on the bottom panel has been replaced with a SNAP button that opens a menu with snapping modes: 1) to edge 2) to grid 3) ortho.
- Enabling snap-to-grid turns grid display on, and turning the grid display off disables snap-to-grid.
Import
- Added the ability to import properties from a block model (BM) via the Import BM data button. Mohr-Coulomb and Hoek-Brown criteria are supported.
- More accurate geometry processing when importing .dxf files.
Display
- Added the ability to view physical and mechanical properties imported from a block model.
- Added the ability to view errors that occurred during property import from a block model.
- Improved translation of several UI elements and messages.
- Load magnitude display is now enabled by default.
- Added parameter selection for visualization in the Check Mesh window.
- Introduced a new string format for numbers: values below 0.001 or above 1000 are shown as 1.234*10^b.
- Added the ability to fill the color scale background with white.Results
Results
- Added velocity information: 1) export to ElementData 2) screenshots 3) display 4) node, element, and Label value at point info.
- Added export of the Safety factor.User Guide
User guide
- The user guide on the Scientia website now opens when the Help button is pressed.
Bug fixes
- Fixed the display of bolt elements. Issue: "Coordinates were not recalculated".
- Model scaling now works only on double click of the middle mouse button. Issue: "Scaling was triggered by double-clicking the right or left button".
- Optimization of geometric algorithms.
- Fixed deletion of joints during manual editing in the Check Geometry window.
- Fixed a missing image when saving a project.
- Fixed the display of angles in the Check Mesh window. Issue: "The correct angle was not always shown".
- Calculation files (.prc) are now re-checked when switching to the Results tab. Issue: "The calculation file number field could show a file that no longer exists in the results folder".
