1.

Under rare circumstances Settle will fail to open a s3z file and will pop up a message: System Error Code 131  “An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file”.

2.

Reading files with hydroconsolidation regions would cause problems when opening and closing the project settings dialog. Fixed.

3.

Secondary consolidation for any material would be calculated if any material in the whole model had primary consolidation turned on. Now, a material will only undergo secondary consolidation if primary consolidation is turned on for that material.

1.

Fixed bug in embankment load calculations for Westergaard stress method.

2.

Exporting consolidation time data to Excel, the program gave incorrect results when units were in inches.

3.

A rare bug with the calculation of embankment stresses was fixed.

4.

Fixed units in plotting of coefficient of consolidation and permeability.

5.

Fixed small bug in calculation of pore pressures above the water table.

6.

Sets secondary consolidation to 0 if there is no primary consolidation.

1.

Fixed bug in calculation of effective spacing for wick drains.

2.

New Help System.

1.

Fixed bug that caused secondary consolidation parameters for overconsolidated material to be used when material was normally consolidated.

2.

Added option in project settings to enable resetting of time for secondary consolidation calculations when loads change.

3.

Added more point marker styles for charts.

4.

Fixed vertical axis order when plotting point query or line query in Excel.

5.

Fixed the horizontal / vertical axis swapping in Excel.

1.

Westergaard with non-uniform loads didn’t work. Fixed.

2.

Rigid loads with 3 vertices didn’t work. Fixed.

3.

Fixed file reading problem that prevented some users from opening files with excavation loads.

4.

Grid lines can now be added to graphs.

5.

Fixed the pore pressure caclulation for excavations below the water table.

6.

Rigid loads no longer assume the soil column goes to negative infinity. This was done through the introduction of an extremely stiff layer at the bottom of the soil column. This prevents deformation below the bottom of the soil column.

1.

Fixed bug with rigid settlement calculations.

2.

Fixed bug in embankment load calculations.

3.

Introduced "Westergaard Solution" as new stress calculation method.

4.

New option is added to average the elastic material properties for Westergaard and rigid load calculations.

5.

Fixed both the hydroconsolidation and wick drain entities so that you can move and delete vertices , and edit coordinates as well.

6.

Hydroconsolidation info is now in the Infoviewer.

7.

The consolidation settlement due to saturation was being double counted for hydroconsolidation regions that overlapped. Fixed..

1.

Under rare circumstances the clipboard would be corrupted. Fixed.

2.

Excel charting of multiple datasets would sometimes not work with Excel 2007.

3.

If a query point was very close to the boundary for non-uniform loads, results would be inaccurate.

4.

Stress calculation was updated/improved.

5.

Edit coordinates now properly orients the boundary counter-clockwise. If the coordinates were enterd clockwise, bad results would occur.

6.

2:1 stress computation was improved.

7.

Multiple loads or excavations over a query, with different depths, would not discretize the query at the load depth. Fixed.

8.

If the stage name was greater than 31 characters, a warning would be generated when the data was exported to Excel. Fixed.

9.

Program would crash after canceling the excavation dialog then attempting to export query data to Excel or the clipboard. Fixed.

7.

When material type as 'Janbu' was selected, and primary consolidation is turned off, access to the 'mr' value text box still existed. Fixed.

8.

Saturated unit weights can now be used for hydroconsolidation regions..

9.

Security system update to allow for educational updates and improve commercial network version.

1.

Fixed bug with 2:1 stress calculation for polygonal loads.

2.

Fixed bug with rigid footing settlement.

3.

Improved accuracy of results for multiple material analysis.
