Learn more about other recent improvements to the SOILVISION products on the SOILVISION Recent Improvements wiki page of Bentley Communities. SOILVISION products include SVDESIGNER, SVSOILS, SVSLOPE, SVFLUX, SVSOLID, and SVENVIRO.

SVDESIGNER / SVFLUX - Water Data Input and Visualization Improvements

Additions to improve the building of water surfaces, use of CPT data and other measurement tools, including enhanced display options for use in professional reports. Calibrate groundwater analysis results against measured data with these enhanced visualization options.

Pseudo-3D Consolidation - Technology Preview

Mine tailings management and planning tools for volume calculations using the pseudo-3D consolidation method. Efficient analysis of large-strain consolidation 3D scenarios.

3D Dynamic Seismic Analysis - Technology Preview

Solve dynamic seismic finite-element models. This functionality adds to other standard seismic methods in SVSLOPE like Pseudo-Static Coefficients, Spectral Pseudo-Static, and Newmark.

Quick Start

New Quick start dialog, to quickly access models, license information and online resources.

Thickness Contouring

New option available to contour thickness between the ground surface and a water table.

SVFLUX Materials can be Changed at Different Stages

Different materials objects with different material parameters can now be specified at different construction/excavation stages.

Fix Intersections Operation

Improvements for the Fix Intersections operation in SVDESIGNER when large GIS coordinates are used.

Global Merge Distance Command

Apply Global Merge Distance command improvements: fix flickering of CAD on running operation and proper restoring of object visibility on Undo.

SVFLUX Review Boundary Condition Priority

Flux-review and climate type boundary conditions now take priority over the review type where nodes with multiple boundary conditions of these types are shared.

SVFLUX Tunnel Meshing

Improved mesh quality where Tunnel objects cross through the exact intersection of a surface and a region.

SVFLUX Piezometer Calibration Graphs

Improved symbology in Piezometer Calibration graph.

SVSLOPE Rapid Draw-down Undrained Material Validation

Added a warning prior to solving the model for a rapid draw-down analysis when there are no Undrained parameters specified in the applied materials.

SVSLOPE Export to OBJ

Added option in SVSLOPE Results to export the critical sliding mass base shape to an OBJ mesh file.

SVSLOPE-SEISMIC Total Displacement Output

SVSLOPE-SEISMIC (tech preview) can now output total displacement for contour plots and other results display.

SVSLOPE MPA Location Names

An optional user-entered prefix can now be specified for Multi-Plane Analysis (MPA) location definition names.

SVSLOPE Vertical Side Shear Strength Workflow

Improved the user interface for vertical side shear strength calculation in SVSLOPE.

MVM Slice View Priority

Made the display order of Material Volume Meshes (MVMs) in slice views match the priority used by the solver in SVSLOPE.

SVSLOPE MPA Critical Sliding Mass Export

Added a feature to export critical sliding masses at all Multi-Plane Analysis (MPA) locations (ground surface daylight outline and column base points). This also puts the geometry into the clipboard, such that it can be pasted directly into SVDESIGNER.

SVSLOPE MPA Trials Export

Added a feature to export all trial slip surfaces from all Multi-Plane Analysis (MPA)locations to text files, in addition to the critical slip surface.

SVSLOPE Trial Ellipsoid Export

Trial slip surface ellipsoids can now be copied as meshes and pasted into SVDESIGNER or plain text from SVSLOPE.

SVDESIGNER Borehole Import Improvements

Improved SVDESIGNER borehole system functionality when importing borehole data that doesn't automatically produce valid layer ordering.

Improved License Configuration

Improved License Configuration dialog to simplify license management.

SVSOILS Import With Conflicting Units

Allow import of SVSOILS data into an SVFLUX model when the unit types (Metric vs. Imperial) are different.

Fixed issues

• SVSLOPE: Fixed save of 3D tension cracks on dialog input
• SVSLOPE: If Sensitivity Parameters have been set up for a Material that has not been applied to a Region, the Parameters list in the Sensitivity dialog shows no entries, but the One-Way Sensitivity Run List was not cleared
• SVSLOPE: Fixed error that prevents copying an existing surface for use as a 3D Tension crack definition
• SVSLOPE: Fixed trial slip surface lines not being drawn in SD view in some cases
• SVSLOPE: Fixed SVSLOPE Sensitivity Analysis sometimes giving incorrect results when using multiple orientation angles in orientation analysis
• SVSLOPE: 3D Cuckoo search no longer reports an incorrect result, for the case when an ellipsoid slip surface is combined with wedges or weak surfaces
• SVSLOPE: Fix some cases when importing Hoek-Brown and Barton-Bandis material parameters into an Anisotropic Linear Material (ALM) object
• SVDESIGNER and SVSLOPE: Large Block Models are now much less resource-intensive: they will render faster, use less memory, and be faster to manipulate
• SVDESIGNER and SVSLOPE: Block Model input data will now be cached upon initial loading, making it much faster to load subsequently
• SVDESIGNER: Creating a 2D model from SVDESIGNER now works as intended
• SVFLUX: Fix for multi-staged models with application of Review boundary conditions
• SVFLUX: Fix for some cases when combining Flux+Review boundary conditions
• SVFLUX and SVSOLID: Fix for an error on writing solver input file for 2D models when a single boundary condition is applied across multiple regions
• SVFLUX and SVSOLID: Fix for an error on writing solver input files when a small circle Region is defined (less than 0.05 units in diameter)
• SVENVIRO: Repeat data calculations in the Climate properties dialog had some issues when a complete year was not provide to repeat
• Changed label for Grid status in the status bar to not show dimensions when the grid is not displayed
• Fixed behavior of 1D Thickness input dialog
• Application no longer displays an exception when attempting to save a model the user does not have a valid license for (such as extruding 2D to 3D when no 3D license is available)
• Fixed an off by 1 error when displaying contour line colors, but the error does not occur when using the contour fill option
• Fixed an exception when adding a new mesh surface with no data present
• Corrected error when attempting to save a model when some special characters were entered in the Description field
• Other minor issues
