GEOVIA Surpac 6.9 Released

(Originally published in Dassault Systemes blog)

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).

Plane fitting tools – Dynamic fitting tool

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.
