In keeping with our efforts to provide our maintenance support members with timely software updates, we are pleased to announce a maintenance release of GEMS 6.8.5.

The GEOVIA GEMS 6.8.5 release sees a number of improvements and issues addressed across the product for our users.

Highlights of this release include:

  • Data interoperability ensuring upstream and downstream processes are enabled for three key workflows between GEMS and other desktop applications:
    • Surfaces and solids exported in Surpac SDM formats now display accurate validity information minimizing any required troubleshooting
    • Support for importing of sub-block models for use in PCBC reducing data preparation requirements for access to caving solutions
    • Support for importing Micromine polyline and triangulated surfaces has been added
  • A novel Marker Mixing method has been added to further the suite of mixing algorithms that can be used in PCBC
  • PCBC has been further enriched through the addition of three new keywords to the Production scheduler; MMIX, USE_BUCKETS, and LOADSHUT for greater flexibility and control on production scheduling as well as new reporting options
  • The Quick Neighbor Tool has been updated to provide greater control through the ability to set anisotropy factors and a new reporting feature introduced to report draw point stack sequence
  • Further improvements in PCSLC focus on greater flexibility when generating rings and greater face control through additional keywords added to the TTL capabilities
  • An additional 25+ performance enhancements, workflow improvements and defect fixes have been made, the details of which are provided in the GEMS 6.8.5 release notes
