Swedge 4.0Update History

Version 4.080

1. Now supports multiple HASPHL locks on the same USB hub.

Version 4.079

1. New Hasp-HL hardlock support. Removed support for old beige hardlocks.

Version 4.078

1. Support for new Educational system. Also update dll's to latest microsoft versions.

Version 4.077

1. The correlation coefficient settings for probabilistic analyses were not being saved to the data file.
2. Multiple serial number support.
3. New Verification Manual.


Version 4.076

1. Upper slope area was not being computed correctly in some cases. This might affect support pressure calculations and resulting safety factor results if support pressures were used on the upper slope.
2. Hardlock and Nodelock software update.


Version 4.075

1. In the case were one joint overhangs another, the application of water force on the overhanging joint could have been in the wrong direction. This is an error in the original Hoek and Bray equations.
2. The drawing of geometries with overhanging slopes and joints has been improved.


Version 4.074

1. Improved performance for beige hardlocks.
2. Update to auto-update code and nodelock code.
3. Bug fix for network version and path path dialog.


Version 4.073

1. Program no longer requires administrator privileges to properly update itself through the web.
2. Program no longer registers itself through the Windows Shell in such a way as to allow new files and printing through the windows context menus.
3. A fix in the install and update fixes a problem with version 4.072 always asking to update itself over the web.


Version 4.072

1. EMF/WMF image files now export correctly.
2. Improved license management for network versions.
3. Improved look under WinXP.


Version 4.071

1. Better resource management on Win9x machines.


Version 4.07

1. A bug with imperial units was fixed. If the model was set to imperial units with probabilistic data and you looked at the infoviewer, the unit system was corrupted.
2. Old files sometimes had corrupted units due to an old bug. Swedge now recognizes this and asks for the unit system.
3. A new preferences dialog has been added to the file menu. Using the preferences dialog you can choose the new XP menu style and tabbed views. Tabbed views allow you to quickly change the view through tabs at the bottom of the screen.


Version 4.06

1. Addition of support pressures for the modeling of pattern bolting and external pressure loads. See the New Swedge Features page for more info.
2. Context sensitive help buttons in every dialog.


Version 4.05

1. A more robust brute-force algorithm for optimal bolt angle has been added. This replaces the old algorithm which didn't work very well for passive bolts.


Version 4.04

1. A new verification manual has been added.
2. Added driving and restraining forces to the infoviewer.
3. Automatic update technology added. Customers with a web connection will automatically be notified and allowed to update when a new minor version is released.
4. A new splash screen.
5. Nodelocking now possible.


Version 4.03

1. Under some circumstances, the printing of a stereonet view would crash the program. This is fixed.
2. Resource modifications to improve overall stability.


Version 4.02

1. Under some circumstances, the exponential distribution was not being calculated for a random variable. This occurred if the standard deviation of a previously defined distribution had been set to 0 (Even though the exponential distribution does not use standard deviation).
2. Improvements to the correlation method for friction and cohesion were made resulting in better correlation.


Version 4.01

1. The lognormal distribution was not being calculated correctly.
2. Scaled wedges were not being saved to the data file. If you scaled a wedge, saved the file, read the file back in, you would get the maximum wedge.
3. Bolts were not being read correctly from the input file. As a result the safety factor would not include the influence of the bolts.
