GeoStudio 2004 - Updated Versions of all Products Now Available
The latest GeoStudio product update, Version 6.11, was just released on October 21, 2004. This includes new versions of SLOPE/W, SEEP/W, SIGMA/W, QUAKE/W, TEMP/W, CTRAN/W and VADOSE/W. This new release is the result of extensive user feedback and additional product testing conducted since the initial release of GeoStudio 2004 in May. Besides stability improvements, fixes, and performance increases, several new features have been added since May, including importing DXF files as regions, displaying unit labels on output parameters, and international language support in the Sketch Text command.

Using Regions in SLOPE/W 2004
In GeoStudio 2004, the Version 6 release of our software, we introduced the concept of regions as a multi-point polygon which can represent a particular soil unit. This is a much more intuitive way of defining stratigraphic soil units than what was previously available in Version 5. The introduction of regions has had the greatest beneficial impact in SLOPE/W as the use of lines is now no longer required to define stratigraphic layers. In all our finite element programs, automatic mesh generation within regions now makes it possible to ensure mesh compatibility throughout the entire domain.
