GEO-SLOPE GeoStudio 2023.1.0 (23.1.0.520)

BUILD3D / 3D Products
Feature: Import OBJ Geological Model Volumes for 3D Geometry Creation. Quickly generate the analysis geometry using data files from external packages, by importing clean, meshed geological model outputs in the OBJ file format.
Feature: Background meshes can now be defined as dynamic, allowing them to adjust to changes to their parent geometry object.
Feature: Added cardinal direction indicators to the orientation widget display to aid in general geometry orientation and determination of dip and dip direction using the compound strength material model.
Change: The orientation grid now extends infinitely on the display canvas to aid in drawing geometry.
Bug fix: Corrected case when a Boundary Condition Face was selected in the Geometry Explorer where the selected face was not highlighted with the material color and None was displayed as the assigned boundary condition.
Bug fix: Fixed a case during Sketch - 2D editing where some sketch objects could not be selected.
Bug fix: Fixed a case where bodies were not selectable in graphics area during edit operations.
Bug fix: Fixed as occasional crash after meshing imported Geological Model Volumes (GMVs).
Bug fix: Fixed background mesh delete and other operations from affecting background meshes in other geometries within a project file.
Bug fix: Fixed case where mesh generation did not occur for Geological Model Volumes (GMVs) if the Use Default mesh option was set and GMVs were imported a second time.
Bug fix: Fixed crash on opening a project file that was missing a background mesh in its results folder.
Bug fix: Fixed prevention of re-selection of another file if the Import 2D Sections - From File operation reported an invalid file message.
Bug fix: Fixed the occasional painting of solids elements with randomized color and randomized visibility after mesh generation.
Bug fix: Snap to bodies did not work during Sketch 3D creation in version 2022.1.
SLOPE/W
Feature: Include 2D and 3D stability analyses in a single project file for quick results comparison.
Feature: Added Minimum Slip Surface Volume convergence option to SLOPE/W.
Bug fix: Fixed a crash when viewing results for a SLOPE/W analysis that gets pore-water pressures from a piezometric surface.
Bug fix: Fixed a crash when viewing results of a combined SEEP/W with SLOPE/W analysis that contained void regions.
Bug fix: Fixed SLOPE/W solving error for coupled SLOPE/W with SEEP/W projects where the SEEP/W analysis uses the unstructured triangle element type for all regions.
Bug fix: Maximum number of iterations setting is now limited to 100 to prevent convergence overflow. Existing files with this setting greater than 100 will be adjusted to 100 automatically.
Bug fix: The View Object Information for a Geosynthetic Reinforcement was not displaying all values correctly when the pull-out load is calculated from overburden stress in version 2022.1.
Bug fix: Spatial variability contours were not displaying correctly in Results View, but were correct in Geometry View, in version 2022.1.
SIGMA/W
Bug fix: Activation PWP field was not available for entry in some material models.
Bug fix: Corrected a case where viewing beam results information selected the wrong gauss point if secondary nodes were used.
Bug fix: Corrected accumulation of plastic strains in SRS analysis using the Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown, and Ubiquitous Joint material models.
Bug fix: Fixed generation of curved elements under circular region edges when a mesh with secondary nodes is used.
Bug fix: Partial Factors were not being applied to tensile strength in SRS analysis using the Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown, and Ubiquitous Joint material models.
Bug fix: State parameters of the Mohr-Coulomb model were incorrectly being reset if a Stress Correction or Strength Reduction Stability analyses was parented to an analysis of the same type.
Bug fix: Plots or contours of state parameters such as void ratio or yield surface size would show incorrect values at soil interfaces and domain edges.
TEMP/W
Feature: Updated Material Model for Enhanced Heat Transfer Analysis. The simplified thermal material model implementation in TEMP/W and TEMP3D has been improved to better accommodate the change in properties during freezing/thawing conditions.

All Products
Bug fix: Analyses with a parent but that get initial conditions from a piezometric surface display the parent pore-water pressure results instead of the pore-water pressure from the piezometric surface when Step 0 is selected in the Steps list.
Bug fix: Corrected a case when an Initial Condition is set to reference another GeoStudio analysis results and the referenced analysis name is changed preventing a solve.
Bug fix: Corrected loss of material color selection after subsequent material kind selection on Define Materials dialog.
Bug fix: Enabled Export/Copy/Print buttons on View Object Information dialog.
Bug fix: Fixed an occasional crash when solving an analysis.
Bug fix: Fixed an occasional hang during GeoStudio startup related to some license settings.
Bug fix: Fixed copy and paste of Points in the Piezometric Surfaces dialog.
Bug fix: Fixed intermittent crashes when quickly switching between analyses in Results view. The analysis tree is now disabled until loading is complete.
Bug fix: Fixed the Copy and Paste for the Add-In material model.
Bug fix: Improved 2D section PWP interpolation from 3D FE results. In this release, we increased the mesh refinement used for calculating PWP in 2D based on an estimate of mesh density from the source 3D FE mesh.
