GEOVIA Surpac 6.9 Released

By

We are pleased to announce that Surpac 6.9 has been released. This new release introduces the Structural Suite module, a set of visualization and analysis tools for any kind of oriented data, and the powerful collaboration and data management capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as well as over 30 customer-requested enhancements and product quality improvements.

Structural Suite Module – New!

  • Extract and visualize orientations directly from drillholes, points and block models.
  • Analyze surface gradients.
  • Analyze structural trend in large and complex datasets.
  • Perform rapid structural analysis of point cloud and photogrammetry datasets.
  • Digitize structural planes directly from surface or point cloud.
  • Selectively display structural information on a stereonet.
  • Display custom geological mapping symbols for interpretation or plotting.
  • Export structural information to third party tools (Rocscience DIPS).

GEOVIA POWER’BY

From Surpac, you can upload files to the platform to share with stakeholders who can also view the files directly on the platform:

  • Seamless shift handover with all information in a centralized dashboard as shift workers access consistent data.
  • Easier reporting with a single source of truth.
  • Transparency and two-way communication between people, departments, and sites.
  • Full traceability for meeting discussions and files shared outside of meetings.
  • Reduced reliance on manual processes – such as checking control stations on a printed map – by saving files and data on a central location.
  • Improved end of month reporting process with accurate sources of information.
  • Peace of mind that data is backed up and secure.
  • Rapid decision-making based on the most up-to-date data available.

Other Updates

  • Enhanced point cloud and related mesh tools performance and usability:
    • Improved ability to allow accurate meshing of large coordinate data.
    • Better 3D meshing, including autofix option to close holes.
    • Large performance improvement with the inclusion of a Multithreading option for 2D meshing.
    • Better editing of point clouds “retain points inside/outside” for excluding data such as trucks or infrastructure.
  • You can now operate on Surpac 64 bit even when Office 64 bit is not installed, and take advantage of the significant performance advantages it offers.

Surpac 6.9 is provided complimentary as part of the GEOVIA Maintenance and Support Program subscription and can be downloaded through the dedicated download service from the 3DS Support Site. Please note that Structural Suite is an additional module, to purchase this as an add-on please contact your local GEOVIA office.
