User requests
The following user requests have been incorporated in this release:
- [871823] LEM - Exposed a setting that makes the radius kriging option an ellipsoidal proximity search rather than spherical. It can be useful when the XY spacing of samples is much sparser than the Z spacing, like when there are many pore-water pressure samples along a vertical borehole line. Applicable to discrete points input options.
- [871827] LEM - Added a direct CSV file import for pore-water pressure discrete points input to improve speed over copy & paste operations with large datasets.
Fixed issues
A large number of issues have been addressed, including:
- [860299] LEM - Fix made for the inability to view the model display for some computers, caused recently by changes to OpenGL graphics.
- [861864] LEM - Fixed exception after entry of Cohesion-Friction Function data points on the ALM2 material dialog.
- [868367] LEM - Fixed case where the Non-Circular slip shape setting was not applied to the Cuckoo search method in 2D models called through the Slope Stability Python API.
- [871854] LEM - Fixed a situation in 3D models where the slices for the 2D Multi-Plane Analysis (MPA) option using Anisotropic Linear Model (ALM) materials did not project the correct dip angle onto the 2D Slice Plane.
- [880020] LEM - Corrected errors when toggling slip surfaces on the Slip Surfaces results dialog for cases when the non-converged slip surfaces were selected, and the selected entry did not have a complete ellipsoid definition.
- [888615] LEM - Fixed regression where it was no longer possible to copy and paste shear-normal function points from the ALM material parameters window.
- [889280] LEM - Corrected exception encountered when toggling between Individual and Multiple supports options on the Support Geometry dialog.
- [893608] LEM - Fixed some cases that occurred occasionally where FOS graphs were not displaying the series lines.
- [893629] LEM - Corrected a case in 3D Multi-Plane Analysis (MPA) models related to the invalid slip surfaces marked "extends beyond bounds". It was unintended that a slip surface would be flagged as invalid if any part of the full ellipsoid extending past the model bounds in plan view, including the part of the ellipsoid that isn't below the ground. Now only the portion of the ellipsoid below ground will trigger an invalid condition.
- [828171] PLAXIS Designer - Cancelling authentication for OpenGround Cloud connection leads to unhandled exception fixed.
- [869740] PLAXIS Designer - Material name in tree view object selector is not populated when loading materials into PLAXIS Designer from a PLAXIS LE model file (.SVM). An Apply Material Names right-click context menu has been added.
- [327735] Consolidation - Hid some Groundwater type boundary conditions in a Consolidation analysis that were shown in the boundary conditions dialog but have not been implemented.
- [887467] Consolidation - Fixed the boundary conditions (excess pore-pressure, pressure head, total head) when set at the base of the column are being reset to a not-set condition when another lift is added for the second stage of a 1D consolidation analysis.
