Version 1.1 of OptiSurface Designer will be released within the next week.
This version includes new features and significant improvements including:
- New Runoff Analysis feature that allows simulation of water depth and velocity – for examining erosion hotspots
- New Edit Proposed Topography with points and breaklines – allows you fine control over the design surface eg draw in contour banks, create gully dam embankment, draw cross drain
- Improved Drainage Analysis feature that allows you to see the impact of furrow/raised beds on ponding depth and flow paths over existing topography – good to show benefits for Optisurface Landforming
- New Balance Earthworks Within Subzones as well as whole field – Allows you to reduce haul distances by preventing long carts from one end of the field to the other.
- New Optisurface Design Parameters such as Maximum Allowable Fill Depth, Minimum Allowable Elevation – allows you to have more control over the design surface.
Additional news items will be added in the coming weeks, dedicated to these items above.
