Elmod 6 Releases

6.1.73 May 2014 - Mapping of PCN, ACN and PCN/ACN ratio is now possible. Direct export to Google

Earth possible.- In New Design feature is a bug corrected that sometimes caused a crash.- Bug in using old PCN method corrected which caused a crash.

multiple drops in each test point.- Fixed issue when having CB file import option checked, causing file import problem in

some cases.- Added columns to the Excel export function for backcalculation results: Section No.,

Drop No. and asphalt temperature.

6.1.54 October 2012- Fixed issue in export to Excel function, when having backcalculation results for

multiple drops in each test point.

comparisons.- Optional facility for import of Grontmij/Carl Bro files added.- Fix in PLOT facilities in case of sections with inconsistent number of layers.- Fixed problem in relation to use LET with normal distribution of traffic.- Fixed database lock issues in connection to calling the FEM Module.- Fixed issue in “Structure” when having decreasing stationing combined with GPR data

having inconsistent number of layers.

6.1.44 December. 2010- Word batch reports crashed when including “Life and Overlay”. This is now fixed.

6.1.43 November. 2010- Adding a new section in the Structure window, when having a file with decreasing

stationing caused a wrong start chainage to be inserted for the new section. This has been corrected.

- A couple of mistakes regarding US units in the table header in the “Review Data” window have been corrected.

- For Elmod5 converted databases the PLOT feature for seasonal E-moduli had problems with the statistics due to non-existing values for the design layer. This is now fixed.

- The graphics for pavement structure accessed fom the “Structure” window had some problems in relation to the combination of GPR data, US units and decreasing stations. This is now fixed.

- The MultiSession window for combining sessions from MDB files is now supplied with the name of the import database in the title bar.

6.1.42 August. 2010- A bug regarding PCN on concrete pavements corrected. Material type for the concrete

layer was not found, preventing the calculation.

from Surface Modulus Plot, some msgboxes were displayed during backcalculations.- Two problems corrected in PLOT features, when having a PCC jointed pavement

structure with asphalt overlay. The presence of reference moduli was not detected, and the plot of moduli at joints failed..
