New Features/Improvements:

• • A new File | Load Cell Data menu allows users to load the following properties into a model using the XYZ file format created through File | Write Mesh Data menu:
    • Volume Factor
    • Permeability Modifier (PMX)
    • Porosity (PORX)
    • Material
    • Active
    • Fixed Flag
    • Cell Name

• • The new Model | Import Cell Data program allows users to import Material Type, Permeability Modifier (PMX), and Porosity values stored in ASCII XYZ”G” files into a TOUGH mesh.  This allows the user to superimpose geo-models created in programs such as RockWorks™ and Leapfrog™ over an existing TOUGH mesh.

• • A new field, the Material Code, has been added to the Material Data Editor.  This is used by the Model | Import Cell Data program when importing Material Types.

• • Vector plots for Polygonal Meshes now include two options:
    • Connection Centered – mimics vector behavior from older versions of PetraSim, with multiple vectors plotted per cell.
    • Cell Centered – plots a single vector at the center of each cell.

• • Polygonal mesh vectors can now be exported in TEC format.

• • Enhancements have been made to error reporting and licensing messages displayed in PetraSim.
