Refactored seismic events to support multiple new source parameters
Performance inprovement in Open Pit module when building a model in a pure tet mesh
Visualization of prism data displacement
Added prism data charts
New fields to seismic events for Nanometrics
Import and visualization of Prism data
Import a CSV grid of point cloud data
Added a nearest neighbour interpolation scheme for pore pressure falling outside the FLAC3D grid
New option to import point cloud data from a csv file
Added transformation of CSV pore pressure grid
Ray cast containement check
Added a scene clipping option in the FLAC3D movies builder
Added option to densify lines
Added line data rendering option
Change backfill properties defaults
Optimization with zone joint solving
Change Elexon tilt markers to disable when they stop reporting data
IMASS material can now track plastic shear strain
Support for zone joints
Tools to delete slots and groups from a Flac3d grid
Flac3D model cutplanes can now be used to clip the 3D geometry, similar to how FLAC3D cut planes clip the 3D viewer
New importer to load a csv grid with values and use cutplanes and isosurfaces
Models with backfill can now have multiple backfill material types
The Time View window now has a cumulative mode
Modified the Movie Maker plugin to be significantly simpler to operate
New options to batch create a FLAC3D mining sequence from geometries that have dates specified in their file names
New tools to batch rename geometries from csv files
Drawpoints and Drawbells cannow be coloured by total tonnes drawn as well as tonnes normalized to 1 or 30 days
A new CPU clipping mode is added
A new calendar library is used for choosing dates and times
Modelling Parameters can now be rendered on excavation surfaces
Modelling Parameters can now be rendered on pit shell surfaces
Factor of Safety values can now be rendered on pit shell surfaces
Users now have the ability to view at model parameter results differences between mining steps. For example: How Sigma1 changed between steps 1 and 2
The model solve proceedure can now be paused and continued between steps. For example, if a solve is interrrupted at step 5 out of a total 10 steps, then the solve can be continued from step 6 at a later stage.
Hoek-Brown constitutive model now supports strain softening
Cut planes now support Dip and Direction of the plane when cutting through a model.
Ubiquitous Joint constitutive model is added
Strain-softening material is removed and strain softening behaviour is added to Hoek-Brown
