Users can now save views of their spatial model in the 3D View mode, such that camera angle, zoom, selected cells and hidden cells can be saved. This is useful if you wish to render a series of results on the 3D view, with the option to save multiple views in a single case file.

When considering the spatial attributes of the system components in a post-closure safety assessment, it is not uncommon for the lateral extents to be on the scale of 1-100s of metres, but with depths of the order of metres or less. AMBER 6.4 introduces the capability for the user to specify a scale factor for each axis individually, which will change how the dimensions of the model are displayed proportionally to each other. The axis scale values are saved to the case file so that they are remembered.

a) Schematic of a former mine working adjacent to a river

b) 3D view of system without axis exaggeration

c) 3D view of system with y- and z- axes exaggeration

These capabilities offer unique functionality compared with similar software packages, and provide a powerful way of communicating results such as the concentration of contaminants in a spatial context.

AMBER 6.4 also includes a range of new features to support parameter visualisation and other minor feature updates and various bug fixes.

Following user requests, we are producing videos of the AMBER 6.4 User Guide tutorials. These tutorial videos will be published on Quintessa Limited's YouTube page.
