NEW version of HGS (April 2023 - Revision 2529)

The HydroGeoSphere Revision 2529 (April 2023) is now available for download.

As usual, we’ve corrected all user reported bugs and we have added five new commands!

1. ‘read zones from raster’ that assigns zone numbers to chosen elements/faces in the porous medium, overland flow, or ET domains from a raster file (see hydrosphere_ref.pdf)

2. ‘initial head from raster’ (see hydrosphere_ref.pdf)

3. ‘elevation from raster’ that reads elevations at mesh surface nodes (see hydrosphere_ref.pdf)

4. ‘elevation offset’ that may be used in conjunction with the ‘head equals elevation’ boundary condition to specify a positive/negative offset of the prescribed head value (see hydrosphere_ref.pdf)

5. ‘map zone numbers from regional model by volume’. For each chosen element in the pm domain, the zone number is assigned from the regional zone that has the largest volume of intersection with that element. Volumes of intersection between local and regional 3D mesh elements are approximated via Monte Carlo simulation (see hydrosphere_ref.pdf)

As always, we are committed to the continued improvement to the user experience. Do you have suggestions for new commands or improvements to the user experience? Send your ideas to support@aquanty.com!

The latest installers are available on the HGS download page and a full list of changes/updates can be found in the release notes.
