| Changelog | GEMSai Comprehensive Pile Foundation v2.0.0 (Aug 20 2025) 1) Added support for AI Workflows 2) Added Network licenses for organizations. Common product keys for all GEMS products. 3) User registration required upon install of application. 4) File format changes to make configs readable by AI workflows. Configs will not be backward compatible with v1.x.x 5) All urls updated to www.gemsoftware.ai to reflect changes to GEMS website. 6) Additions to End user license agreements (EULA). Added AI section. 7) Feature Removals: - p-y, t-z and q-z tables and curves removed from analysis. v1.7.0 (Feb 4 2025) 1) Calculate pile capacity at specified depth intervals 2) Support for taking reinforced parameters into account 3) Update copyright to 2025 v1.6.0 (Nov 14 2024) - mac-x86_64, mac-aarch64, win64, linux 1) Calculate interpolated pile capacity at various depths based on user input 2) Support for Mac - apple silicon 3) Update to jdk21, javafx21, controlsfx11.2 4) Bugfixes - Related to transition depth discrepancies for sand and clay layers under certain conditions. - Some fixes for embedment and cushion and Qz curves - Piles projecting above ground may show incorrect capacity if they terminate < 3D above rock layer - Laterally loaded pile - fix some squiggles in BM and sheer outputs v1.5.0 (Nov 25 2023) 1) Supported for hybrid model for liquified sand based on SPT and friction angle 2) 3D shear force heat map for laterally loaded pile analysis 3) 3D bending moment heat map for laterally loaded pile analysis 4) Bug fix - Added check for lateral deflection < pile effective diameter - Added check for axial displacement < pile effective diameter v1.4.0 (Jul 11 2023) 1) Added support for multiple axial, lateral loads and lateral moments along the length of the pile at various depths for each load case. 2) Added support for distributed lateral load (triangular, uniform, or trapezoidal). 3) Bug fixes - Font in pile diagram and loading diagrams are more readable. v1.3.1 (Jun 2 2023) 1) Export options - Users can select the fields and results to export 2) Layout improvements in export to PDF and print. 3) Auto-scroll when selection extends over edge of table 4) Limit pile length and number of soil layers for trial version 5) Bug fixes - Fixes and improvements to SPT calculations - Fix for Qmax values at pile base in case of punch through / embedment corrections or when more soil layers than required are specified. v1.3.0 (Mar 31 2023) 1) Improved element generation for axial and lateral analysis 2) Export to PDF 3) Resolve loads tool to resolve loads specified in various formats into lateral and axial loads for pile foundation (for circular piles) 4) Code reorganization and improvements for pile capacity, axial, lateral analysis, py, tz, Qz curves 5) Bugfix - Pile resting on pile boundary, use base properties for layer below for capacity estimation and Qz code - For for an issue when pile terminates is near the top part of the layer, the tz / capacity for the top of layer is shifted to the pile length below ground. - not reading QMaxCode value from file correctly for sand - On main pane, clear the highlighting of panes to indicate analysis complete when the respective panes are clicked / outputs are cleared. - Added check that soil layer is present upto 3D for soil and 1D for rock below pile length. This is required for the soil strength to adequately develop - fix for py code generation for water table and scour for clay soil - fix the issue where it won't input the first character you type on the first edit made - fix for checking numbers entered into fields. v1.2.1 (Jan 22 2023) 1) Add deactivate_license, revalidate_license and debug to command-line 2) Bugfixes - validation fixes for soil parameters - Axial analysis pile head above ground for non circular pile doesn't converge - use integer representation of pyCode, tzcode, tmaxcode and qmaxcode - improve pile capacity calculation using bottom to top soil layer approach - Application doesn't launch after a license is activated with incorrect date format - compact init of fortran arrays to zero - update copyright to 2023 v1.2.0 (Oct 20 2022) 1) Add Keyboard shortcuts and icons to menubar. 2) Add config manager to manage configurations. - undo, redo functionality - Ask to save at close / new file 3) Soil Layer Table - fix selection broken in soil layer table. - enable cut, copy, paste,delete functionality 4) Update default value for pile dimensions 5) Replace q-z with Q-z for axial analysis 6) Updates to generic table controller (v1.1) v1.1.0 (Aug 10 2022) 1) removed p, y, z multiplier - pilegroup option 2) Refactor landpile files into pile2d project 3) Improvements in enum implementation of EXECUTION_STATUS 4) Execution Status - LPile compute improvement 5) bugfix - missing calls for super class for appEventReceived.
