Known Issues

• The maximum proppant concentration is still hardwired to 0.7. It should probably increased to 1.0
• Need to take a closer look at proppant stress when the new conductivity curves (indexed by proppant concentration and stress) are used.
• Perforated tunnels:
  • Simplified logic cluster volume calculation needs to take in consideration that the part of the perf. tunnel cylinder is already taken into consideration by the borehole volume;
  • Generalize the logic for viscosity transition allowing switch from power-law fluid and include power-law fluid and fluid transition in the simplified logic; and
  • resetClusterOnNodes is called after a stage is inactivated; it probably should not to avoid premature connection of the active fractures with those connected with inactive clusters.
• Export grid function is limited to infinite horizontal plane seams. Will added ability to specify export extent based on top and lower seam for minimum and maximum Z-coordinate and fractures location for X- and Y-coordinates.

Software Update Revisions

Revision	Date	Description
30	4月 30, 2025	Added support for exporting only connected microcracks with grid Added option to render only FRACMAN DFN with connected pipes
29	3月 28, 2025	Added auto create initial cracks on clusters feature Fixed mpi crash if running thermal without fluidjoints Fixed crash during initialization of mpi Added option to reduce matrix stiffness from the start simulation and batch Minor bugs fixed in batch Improved volume calculation when approximate pressure gradient is selected Fixed small bug in start simulation dialog and in bore hole segment dialog
28	3月 12, 2025	The reference stress correction included in the wellbore pressure initialization. Fixed issue with well segment not being translated and rotated properly Matched the sign convention with dfn translation when trasnlating well segments Fixed issue with pressure initialization when not being checked on ui but still causing it to change the initial fracture pressure Fixed cluster nodes plot item not considering reference stress for some nodes Added reset casing/cement temperature to batch and reset lattice Updated cellspace to avoid crash with large models
27	1月 24, 2025	The advection time step calculation after resetting the multiplication factor is now done based on fluid elements, not pipes Added calculation of the contribution of the convective heat transport to the advection critical time step The calculation is done within pore pressure change loop and in the separate function called when the advection time step factor is changed from GUI Thermal multistepping now starts multistepping right away as opposed to a few non multi steps first Fixed crash related to stimulated area and fracture area histories
26	1月 20, 2025	If resolution ratio between global resolution and smallest resolution is greater than 20, the ajusted ratio will now have a more gradual increase Fixed bug in calculation of inflow and outflow rates for fluid elements Fixed sink histories, variables are now always accumulated regardless of history interval Fixed crash on mpi when model does not have fluid nodes Fixed reset temperature not working for console version Fixed shear and normal stiffness being reversed for fracman
25	1月 8, 2025	Proppant volumes instead of concentrations are used during proppant transport calculation. Old volumes are reset in the function that updates proppant concentration due to volume change (and does propopant stress calculation) Fixed sink histories only showing 0 Fixed the bug causing instability in propped fractures Old volumes of fluid elements are reset outside calculateProppantStress function. The change preserves correct old volume for the simplified fluid calculations Fixed save/restore for sink histories and proper reset of their values per cycle Added history interval to save/restore During excavation cleanup, fluid nodes and pipes are resequenced into sequential order to avoid issues for mpi
24	12月 19, 2024	Added factor of 0.7 to implicit aperture calculation Error calculation for implcit logic now uses relative error instead Excavated nodes properly restored for mpi Tension events are assumed to be finished when restoring model in mpi
23	11月 13, 2024	Fixed thermal calculations Added implicit convergence factor to save/restore Added seq number to pipe plot item reset segment temperature save/restore now works fixed bug leading to stretched pipes appearing after save/restore following the excavation of pre-existing fluidjoints
22	8月 29, 2024	Added option to generate Slurm script instead of SGE Forces are not initialized in the joint springs for the Voronoi lattice. Forces in those springs should be generated during mechanical equilibration. The force initialization previously used resulted in relatively large force fluctuation and tensile forces, even for all compressive stress states. The force/displacement function is simplified. The check for spring state is done in one place, at the end of the function. The tensile strength and cohesion factors are refined.
21	8月 2, 2024	Added set maximum proppant stress to reset lattice Restored proppant concentration changes Restore get permeability changes
20	4月 30, 2025	Fixed signal for segment temperature Microcracks exporter now checks if data is within the model extent Added matrix time step to simulation time Fixed multithreading bug on permeable dfn Added fraction of pressure increase to reset lattice
19	5月 15, 2024	Updated user's guide Fixed importing fracman Added limit range to save/restore Fixed history locations for fluidjoints Fixed joints getting deleted if global coordinates were used with a rotation
18	4月 24, 2024	Fixed reset temperature to properly use springs instead of nodes Fixed display histories when no cluster exists Added exact location of history tp the output of batch and console Fixed pressure initialization of matrix pressure Fixed limit range of of fracman dfn import, now limits springs on initialization rather than when importing Added reset temperature to batch, save restore needs to be fixed
17	3月 22, 2024	Fixed crash when importing joints using dxf files Removed broken example problems and fixed some Fixed bug on sub-lattice zone initiation of joints Added limit import range to import fracman DFN dialog Fixed bug on sketch model when plotting boreholes with reference point and azimuth rotation Added reset temperature to reset lattice, allowing temperature of segments to be set to fixed or to loose
16	3月 5, 2024	Added heal microcracks to batch Updated Enable Multistep to Enable Multistepping During Advection Simulation Fixed crash on running mechanical with fluid inactive Fixed calibration mode not cracking properly
15	2月 21, 2024	Fixed micro cracks counter when exporting micro cracks Added check box to batch and reset lattice to import only connected micro cracks when importing initial state Added heal microcracks to reset lattice for removing cracks that don't have pipes connected
14	2月 15, 2024	Fixed initial state not importing proppant concentration
13	2月 2, 2024	Fixed prevent micro cracking check box not being saved on restore Added micro crack counter to micro crack export when using a grid Fixed batch depletion workflow dialog box
12	1月 19, 2024	Added fast pore pressure import method for rectangular and uniform grids Fixed crash on proppant concentration plot item and importing from fluid nodes file
11	12月 12, 2023	Fixed license dialog version Updated thermal example in example files When exporting microcracks with a grid, empty Joint List will show as N/A Fixed bug when checking for joint intersection resulting in an undefined joint intersection angle Fixed bug not allowing initial state to be loaded Updated reset lattice dialog Fixed import bug for MC files Fixed permeability bug for importing multiple fracman dfns

6	9月 12, 2023	Building w/ CMake Using Github for subversion control Fixed issue with wrong fluidnodes being calculated in implicit logic Only fluid elements inside the perf tunnel or completion wil be skipped on the implicit calculations Fixed bitmap exporter Fixed dialogs for borehole import and wellgeometry import
5	7月 31, 2023	Fixed display of demo mode watermark. Enhanced console license security.
4	7月 20, 2023	Fixed UI bugs causing crashing. Added heat advection multistepping.

Bug fixed: code was crashing during post-processing execution when exporting MC using grid file. Bug fix: code was crashing when recreating fluid nodes when adaptive resolution was being applied to the model. Bug fix: code was crashing stop simulation before it finishes and click on Reset Model. Reset the batch and when you execute it again. Added checkbox on Features/Sink tab that will allow to activate the sink when the defined pressure is reached.
