NEW version of HGS (February 2022 - Revision 2356)
We’re pleased to announce the release of HydroGeoSphere Revision 2356 (February 2022).
This month’s release introduces a number of user experience improvements! We’ve cleaned up the array_sizes.default file, extending restart functionality to steady-state models with transport, updated Linux installer $PATH settings, and extended the functionality of the ‘make interpolated observation point’ command to transport simulations.
We are also introducing two new commands this month, including a new boundary condition!
The ‘fractures to tecplot’ command writes the fracture mesh to a Tecplot ASCII file with a user specified name. This will significantly improve the process of mapping fractures in your model as you no longer have to run phgs.exe/hsplot.exe to get a fracture mesh file to review!
The new boundary condition command ‘reservoir with spillway’ models a simple dam at a single node in the surface/channel domain of a model. This is an extension of the existing reservoir BC with some important differences. Inflow to the reservoir is defined via hydrograph, and discharge from the reservoir is now defined based on 1) a spillway discharge curve, 2) gate discharge defined using a time value table, and 3) overflow discharge is reservoir storage capacity is exceeded.
As always we are committed to resolving user-reported bugs and 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.
