We are delighted to inform that Refreshes 1 & 2 for GEOVIA Surpac 2021 have been released.

Highlights of Surpac 2021 Refresh 1, released in March 2021, include:

GEOVIA BLOCK MODELER

• BM reporting is now grouped by surface supports intersecting and overhanging surfaces.
• Improved BM performance when reporting by block.

GEOVIA STOPE OPTIMIZER

• Progress (%) made by each project in the background has been added on the `Run multiple stope shape optimization projects` form when you use the ‘Stope Optimizer Multiple’ function.

GEOVIA MINE CONTRIBUTOR

• Users now have the ability to validate surfaces from GEMS or other packages that are vertical or overhanging. They are also able to store the validation status in the file metadata.
• You can now reduce the density of a point cloud file before exporting it as a new file with the ‘Cloud Edit’ function.
• A naming convention of SDM metadata attributes has been applied to make them MineSched compatible. The material attribute is selected from the SDM file.
• User specified fields were added to create unique names for each trisolation.

POWER’ BY

• 3D Enterprise collaboration now supports Russian and other languages.
• Improved user experience with the reduction of time to check-in and check-out data.

Visibility on the file lifecycle to make informed decision based on up-to-date data

A full list of work completed in Surpac 2021 Refresh 1 is available in the Release Notes​​​​​​​ document.

Highlights of Surpac 2021 Refresh 2, released in June 2021, include:

GEOVIA Block Modeler (JBM)

Key benefits of this update in the GEOVIA Block Modeler role include:

• Support for large block model or block model with smaller block sizes when exporting to Whittle
• Remove the need for reblocking the block model before exporting to Whittle
• Complete SDM functionalities across GEOVIA Surpac
• Previous restrictions removed to improve flexibility in merging block models.

Learn more:

• Support for exporting block model

Users can now export block model having more than 999 parcels in a block from Surpac to Whittle model, when you use the BM OUTPUT WHITTLE function.

• Support for block model estimation commands in SDM files with string input

Now, the following block model estimation commands are available to support SDM files with string input formats:

• BM FILL OK
• BM FILL SK
• BM FILL INVERSE DISTANCE
• BM ASSIGN FROM STRING

• Merging block models with different extents

Block models with different extents are now allowed to merge.

GEOVIA Mine Contributor (JMC)

Key benefits of this update in GEOVIA Mine Contributor role include:

• Complete SDM functionalities across GEOVIA Surpac
• Improved user experience when dealing with multiple files between GEOVIA Surpac and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Learn more:

• Support for SDM files

Users can now use import and export .sdm files when using the String Maths function. You can save the output as an SDM file when you:

• specify the output file name with a .sdm extension
• select the Set .sdm as default file extension check box on the Customize > Plugin Preferences > GEOVIA-SDM tab in the Plugin Defaults form.

• Display SDM objects using metadata filter

Users can now use a new graphics based function Draw SDM to filter and display segments or trisolations based on the values of the metadata stored against segments or trisolations in the Display SDM using metadata form.

• DRAW SDM function constraint
• DRAW SDM function constraint file extension is scon.
• New menu "Hide SDM metadata" added under Display menu
  • "Hide SDM metadata" will erase all the metadata displayed in graphics at segment level and trisolation level.
• Support for adding multiple files under one document in a single command
  • Now, when you log in to 3DEXPERIENCE server through Surpac, you can upload multiple files in the ENOVIA Collaboration Space under existing document or create new document with subsequent file addition.
• New Revision Tree Panel in Surpac

Our users are now able to view, download and display, all the Revisions and Versions of any file present in the active Enterprise Collaboration Bookmark Folder via a new pane added, called as Revision Tree.
