Company Announcement - Dassault Systèmes announced the release of the latest version of GEOVIA Surpac, the world’smost popular geology and mine planning software. Surpac 6.7 features design improvements for grade estimation and vast increases in the processing speed of block models. Surpac 6.7 helps users to optimize performance of block models through its support of multiple CPU cores, dramatically reducing estimation times from hours to minutes. Using all of the available CPU cores significantly increases the block model processing speed, performing estimation, reporting, and constraining of much larger models in a fraction of the time.

Surpac 6.7 highlights include:

  • Up to 95% reduction in processing times for block model operations such as estimations, block maths, constraining, and reporting provides quicker results for analysis.
  • Up to 200 times performance improvement for inverse distance, ordinary and simple kriging, and nearest neighbor estimations when used with a minimum recommended configuration of a Quad core CPU with hyper-threading.
  • Advanced Drill & Blast functionality for easier editing of blast holes and animation of blast sequence.

As Surpac 6.7 uses the available processors to their fullest capacity, performance improvements for certain operations will be in line with the number of cores available.
