New GeoStudio 2007 Release

We have recently released a significant update to GeoStudio 2007. The version 7.1 release includes many features that had originally been slated to release with 7.00, as well as several important new features that have come about as a result of customer feedback.

As usual, 7.1 is a free upgrade for all GeoStudio 2007 users, but you may be asking, "why should I bother?"

New Features in Version 7.1
Spatial Variation of Material Properties	Spatial Variation of Initial Conditions	Contour Initial Conditions in DEFINE
Reporting for All Analyses	Contour Settings Can Be Named and Saved	Sketch Text for a Specific Analysis
Water Forces Are Applied Automatically	Custom Parameters in Add-Ins	Searchable Examples
Thumbnails	Dynamic Deformation in SIGMA/W	Transient Stability in SLOPE/W
Collapsible Soils	"Face" Boundary Conditions	And much more!

Search Detailed Examples Online

All of our detailed examples on the Resource CD are available as searchable files for individual download from our web site. The key advantage is now you don't have to download the entire CD image, although it is still avalible if you prefer to have the complete set of examples on your own computer.

Just search online, scan the results for something of interest, and click "Open the gsz" to open it in GeoStudio. From GeoStudio you can choose File - Save As if you want to save a copy locally.

Most examples include a pdf describing the thinking behind the model. Some also include a movie generated by GeoStudio showing the computed results.

The online examples will be updated regularly, so check back often.
