Version 3.0.2

(March 2020)

Release v3.0.2

General

  • BASEMENT now natively supports CUDA on Windows. This allows the use of CUDA-enabled GPUs for computation under Windows 10.
  • In addition, many third party libraries and the installers have been updated. In particular, the version for Microsoft Windows uses a new installer, therefore we recommend to use the link in the start menu to uninstall previous versions of BASEMENTv3 before you update.

Bug Fixes

  • Vector data are now loaded correctly in Paraview Versions 5.7.0 and newer.
  • The setup binary does not produce an error anymore during restart simulations if the .h5 file extension is provided in the path for the restart.h5 file. The .h5 extension should explicitly be provided in the file name.
  • The number of decimal places for doubles in the GUI has been increased from 3 to 6 digits.
  • Minor corrections to the System Manual.

Known Issues

  • Model setup fails if there is a dot ‘.’ in the working directory path. For example: “MySimulations/Sim1.1/" does not work, while “MySimulations/Sim1_1/” works.
  • Aborting a simulation using Ctrl+C can corrupt the HDF5 result file.
  • Currently, there is a known, but not yet resolved issue in the sediment transport solver. More specifically, the flux calculation exhibits an asymmetrical behavior depending on the orientation of the flux vector with respect to the edge normal. Up to now, we have not observed a significant impact of this on the simulation of sediment transport. We will fix this issue as soon as possible and recommend to examine the plausibility of morphodynamic simulation results critically as always.
  • The parameter 'max_time_step' is not taken into account during for the computation of the integration time step. The integration time step is only limited by the CFL number.
  • In the hydraulic STANDARD boundary condition, the hqrelation_file tag is missing the file browser.
