NEW version of HGS (August 2023 - Revision 2564)
The HydroGeoSphere Revision 2564 (August 2023) is now available for download.
This month’s update is mostly house-cleaning, no exciting new commands/features to announce. However, there are a few very helpful improvements to documentation and model output, and one very impactful improvement to the creation of the Jacobian sparse matrix:
We’ve added pressure head as an output to hsplot for all domains excluding the overland flow and channel domains where water depth is an equivalent output.
Add new section titled “Parallel Simulation” to the reference manual that details the parallelization in HGS including the updated format of the parallelindx.dat file
Reduce memory usage of HGS for the Jacobian sparse matrix, which may significantly overestimate the amount of storage required when running in finite element mode. Improvements also apply when running in finite difference mode, but are less pronounced. Issue an error from grok if integer overflow is detected in the variables that store the number of unknowns and the number of nonzeros in the sparse matrix
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.
