Cam Clay and Modified Cam Clay materials.
a. Ability to either specify initial stress conditions for a Cam Clay and Modified
Cam Clay material through preconsolidation pressure or through overconsolidation
ratio.

Total discharge and discharge per segment values are displayed
in Interpreter. |
| 13. |
Modeler. Fixed a problem when
files in compressed fez format could not be saved on to a network
share. The problem showed only with certain combinations of
network permissions and antivirus program settings. |
| 14. |
Modeler/Interpreter. Page setup
settings were not saved after a program exited. |
| 15. |
Modeler/Interpreter. "Show
Coordinates" feature has been added to both Modeler and
Interpreter. All boundary coordinates are displayed in the
Infoviewer by default. This can changed in Preferences. Coordinates
can also be displayed on screen for all or selected boundaries. |
| 16. |
Modeler. Added option to change
Structural Interface orientation. Also added display options
to show Structural Interface's orientation and expand structural
interface's display to its components. |
| 17. |

speed for large models with "Use actual ground surface" option
in the Field Stress. |

was not properly saved. |
| 22. |
Interpreter. "Liner Numbers" display
option now actually shows liner numbers instead of only liner
node numbers as before. |
| 23. |

Liners" option was fixed. It was not flagging all yielded
liner elements before. Some of the liner elements could be
shown as yielded in one stage and not yielded in the next stage. |
| 24. |
Modeler. Added option to automatically
add midside nodes to imported Slide models with FEA groundwater. |
| 25. |

stages results could not be displayed in Interpret. |
| 27. |
Interpreter. Maximum Shear Strain

file reading. Interpret is now faster when switching stage
tabs
and when
switching data type. Especially if there are joints or structural
interfaces in the file. |
| 2. |
Model: Load splitting
coupled with effective horizontal stress ratios for gravitational
initial
stresses did not work properly. Fixed. |
| 3. |
Model: Pore pressures
defined using grids or Ru factors were not split when using
load splitting.
Only pore pressures defined using piezo lines were split correctly.
Fixed. |
| 4. |
Model: Bolts that cross
elements that were attached to joints or structural interfaces
did not work correctly if elements on either side of the joint
were excavated. |
| 5. |
Model: GHB materials
during import of Slide files are given a default modulus more
indicative of rock. |
| 6. |
Model: The import of
Slide files would sometimes crash. Fixed. |

Header/Footer did not work correctly when metric units were
used. Fixed. |

excavated regions. |
| 9. |
Model/Interpret: Menu
checkmarks would sometimes not be rendered correctly. |
| 10. |
Compute: Acceleration
of the SSR analysis by reducing the number of iterations after

crash if Enter key was pressed with Infoviewer up. |
