What's new in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 33
Jun 25, 2014
- Fixes:
- Xdisp does not consider imported displacements in assessing the damage of utilities (specific and generic) and generic buildings.
- Utility's axial strain calculation is not accurate.
New in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 30 (Sep 27, 2013)
- Fixes:
- Xdisp should not offer to delete results if background DXF data is deleted via the 3D Graphics View's context menu.
- Line contours on the 2D Plan View are all shown in the same colour.
- Line contours in the Plan View may be irregular in places, appearing to return upon themselves.
- Line contours may not be visible at all on the 3D Graphics View.
- The 3D Graphics View may open with the model minimised and distant if its coordinates are far from the origin or those of the input Grid Layout - whose coordinates are incorrectly included in determining the extent of the model.
- Contoured sub-surface ground movement curve graphs may have their legends repeated.
- The view of the graph of a sub-surface ground movement curve may open with the graph off screen, giving the impression that the graph has failed to draw, and requires scrolling and panning to bring it to the viewable area if one is aware of this bug.
- The Plan View may fail to display annotated results' values when clicking the "Annotate" button and then a position for display on the displacement grid.
- Horizontal annotated results on the Plan View do not show the resultant value, but the value of displacement in the x direction.
- Line contour plots on the 3D Graphics View have confusing legends e.g. 10 : 20 mm rather than 10 mm to identify the 10 mm contour.
New in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 29 (Sep 27, 2013)
- Fixes:
- Xdisp may appear to hang after an analysis has been started, while data checking is carried out and warnings being prepared - particularly if tunnels use the Mair et al method and some displacement data is below the crown of tunnels or gives z/z0 > 0.8.
New in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 28 (Sep 27, 2013)
- Minor Enhancements:
- START_TABLE and END_TABLE flags for utility damage results and building damage results are not positioned properly when the tabular output is exported to a csv file.
- Fixes:
- When excavation geometries are imported from a DXF file, circular excavations are given a surface level that is 10m above the read-in base height, but polygonal excavations are given a surface level of 10m, irrespective of the level of the base. This is inconsistent.
- [NCR 8205](Fixed 17 July 2013; released in Xdisp 19.3 (SP 1) Build 28)
- Xdisp takes an unsatisfactorily long time to perform data checks (due to unnecessary checking of displacement point levels vs tunnel crown always, though needed for Mair method only).
New in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 27 (Sep 27, 2013)
- Minor Enhancements:
- Precise values of tunnels' coordinates are not printed in tabular output as they are displayed in engineering format.
- Functioning of the progress bar on the "Progress of Checks and Analysis" dialog needs improvement.
- An option should be provided to enable/disable the excavations which are input.
- Generic Utility Damage and Generic Building Damage Results' tables don't get fitted properly when they are print previewed.
- Fixes:
- Xdisp crashes when analysing an extremely fine meshed grid.
- Xdisp crashes when the user tries to do Generic Building Damage Assessment without any polyline defined.
- Line graphs exported via the Building Damage Assessment export function, may, on some hardware configurations, have their x axis label and legends cropped, so be difficult to read.
- Line graphs showing building displacements plot "Hogging" and "Sagging" labels that would be more easy to read if in line with the "Seg. n Start" and "Seg. n End" markers.
- Line graph sub-titles appearing directly above the legend are more difficult to read than directly below the title - as previously.
- Warnings should be given if a displacement point is below the crown of a tunnel or has a z/z0 of more than 0.8 - if that tunnel uses the Mair et al sub-surface displacement method.
- START_TABLE and END_TABLE for Polygonal Excavations' data are not positioned properly when the tabular output is exported to a csv file.
- Negative values are not considered while calculating the Maximum Displacements printed in the "Generic Utility Damage Results - Maximum Rotation" section of the tabular output.
- Automatic File backup option is not working in Xdisp.
- In the "Generic Utility Damage Results - Maximum Rotation" section of the tabular output, maximum strains are incorrectly calculated.
- One of the tables in the tabular output is incorrectly titled "Generic Utility Damage Results - Maximum Rotation". Instead it should read "Generic Utility Damage Results - Maximum Values".
- In Generic BDA, for a non-zero offset, the first points of transects are not offset. This could lead to erroneous results.
- If a displacement point lies at the level of a tunnel's axis for which the Mair method is used to calculate displacements, Xdisp may incorrectly calculate zero horizontal displacement towards the tunnel.
- Displacement results in the Tabular Output along the displacement line, perpendicular to the line, and the angle of the line are shown at -1.#IND if a line is vertical.
- If the results are deleted keeping the table view open, the building damage and utility damage results are still printed.
New in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 25 (Sep 27, 2013)
- Xdisp may crash when polygonal excavation data is copied and pasted.
- In some circumstances Xdisp fails to annotate the Plan View with results when clicked.
- In Generic Utilities, while calculating the total tensile strain at a point, only the xial tensile strain reduction factor is used.
- Xdisp fails to convert imported displacements or lengths/coordinates to the units chosen in the Units' Dialog that is presented, on import, when the csv file of displacements does not speciy them directly.
- The flag and level in the Excavations' Dialogs which set "if surface movement curves are selected apply them between surface and x m" are not output in the Tabular Output.
New in Xdisp 19.3 SP1 Build 24 (Jan 26, 2013)
- Fixes:
- Xdisp crashes in the Ground Movement Curves' View if a new curve is viewed without entering any coordinates.
- Apply button becomes enabled when the Displacements Page of the 3D Graphics Settings Wizard is made active even when there are no changes made to that page's items.
- Xdisp freezes when entering a grid in a model which has results if the Plan View is kept open.
- If a new row is added to a table view in a model which has results, then the program warns the user that results will be deleted. However, if the user clicks 'cancel' on that warning dialog, then results are not deleted and the data added.
- The progress bar in Pre-analysis Dialog is not complete even after the analysis finishes.
- Input of displacement data via the table view gives the rogue warning: "The value in field 12 of record 1 is usually in the range of 2.10078e-312 to 3.18622e-307. Is it OK?"
- Xdisp wrongly gives an error message when the 3DGraphics View and a Ground Movement Curve are viewed at the same time.
- Instead of giving an error message Xdisp crashes if the user tries to analyse a file which has an excavation that refers to an incompletely defined ground movement curve.
- Headers of ground movement curves in the Ground Movement Curves Dialog are misleading for files with curves created in previous versions of the program.
- Pre-Analysis checks are not performed for horizontal ground movement curves.
- Minor Enhancements:
- Displacement Data dialog should be accessible via the wizard button.
- The user should be warned when he tries to delete a displacement line on which a building rests.
- Single master table for tunnels and single master table for buildings. i.e. no tabs.
- Polylines table view doesn't show more than 4 significant figures.
- New Features:
- Graphical input, editing and deletion of model data via the 3D Graphics View.
- Generic Building Damage Assessment.
- Specific Utility Damage Assessment.
- Generic Utility Damage Assessment.
- Zoom to cursor position in the 3DGraphics view.
- Improved granularity for selection of elements and displacement entities for display in the 3D Graphics View.
- Excavations' input views are now dialogs rather than form views.
- The Page Setup dialog's check-boxes are replaced by an expandable tree control, to select the contents to be displayed by the Tabular Output.
- Multithreading of analyses to allow work on other data files while analysis proceeds in one.
- Polyline entities to specify areas for generic building damage assessment and generic utility damage assessment.
- Import of background data from dxf files. Imported data can be viewed in a table and in the 3D Graphics View.
- Option in Excavations to allow the surface movement curves to be applied below the surface till a level specified.
