NORSAR Software Suite 2017.2 (2017.2.38506, July 4, 2017)
This release contains the following updates and fixes:
Common NORSAR Software Suite functionality
SEGY Property import, SEGY Seismic import
- Added option to specify a valid data range for property values also for (velocities and density) (New)
- Importing large cubes (typically 2GB+) sometimes led to write failure when storing the NSS cube, especially on Windows. Now more robust writing.
- On importing non-standard property types, the property type name was blanked out. Fixed now
VSP Survey generator
- Fixed limitation in line length for shot grid surveys
Workflows – general
- Fixes on archiving
- Recovering workflows using the tracer would eventually lead to only one tracer job being run
Model Builder
- Remove value-range in property functions: Now the values in the range are replaced by no-values, not a default, valid constant value.
- Property functions and interfaces can now be stored and removed .
- Clipping of interfaces by polygons is improved.
- Block relations for multi-z-valued interfaces are shown and can be set. “+” and “-“ replaces “Above” and “Below” for this type of interfaces.
- To support the “+” and “-“ specifications, the hot cursor information includes plot of the positive interface unit normal.
- Fixed to make attenuation and Thomsen property functions by interpolation.
- Fixed to load model with non-VTI anisotropy axis of symmetry.
- Removed some unnecessary warnings when a model is checked for validity.
- Minor fixes of user interface details.
NORSAR-3D
Kirchhoff Target Migration workflow
- Unit conversion when specifying aperture settings in a project not defined in km units fixed
- Error on interpreting receiver depths from pre-stack SEGY header fixed
- Error with blank results when running a workflow for which two distinct Greens Functions are generated fixed
- Workflow names with lengths greater than approx. 70 characters always failed. Now this limit is significantly higher
- Sometimes when rerunning after a change in parameters, workflow stalled. Now fixed
- More robust failure handling on Greens Function reading. Files were not closed
Kirchhoff Prestack workflow
- Workflow names with lengths greater than approx. 70 characters always failed. Now this limit is significantly higher
- Artifact in seismic results due to lookup table aliasing. Removed lookup table when not specified
- Inconsistent units in workflow setup
- Remove shot similarity in Greens Function Generation
- Fix bug that changes in advanced tracing parameters was not taking effect
- More robust failure handling on Greens Function reading. Files were not closed
- When finding geometric bounds of a target model, now only selected horizons affect the results
Toolkits
- Range check in grconf2.f, as suggested by PGS
Ray path generator (Classic tools)
- Ported to handle new event sets
Tracer workflows
- Added option to plot wavefronts as wireframes
- Added dialog based retracing, where receiver topology, and TravelTime, Offset, Aperture, Amplitude filters can be set
- Stored wavefronts were plotted at the wrong time step if tracing time step was not 0.1s
- Recover did not work after batch tracing canceled. Always restarted. Enabled recover
Seismogram generator
- Incomplete result tree, and crash when checking the “Results” box
SeisRoX
- Added functionality
- Calculate Time attribute cubes based on VP in the Local-target PSDM simulation workflow
- Export “Difference cubes” as SEGY based on base, and monitor, time attribute cubes
- Fixed crash when plotting an empty property
- Fixed crash when deactivating "no clipping" in viewer
MDesign
- Sensors can be set enabled/disabled directly in the workflow setup
- Unit can be changed for Location Uncertainty results
- Sensor files can be used in the NORSAR-3D Traveltime Cube Generator workflow
