SHEAR7 v4.11 - Latest Release

SHEAR7 v4.11 includes theoretical improvements, processing enhancements and bug fixes to improve various aspects of the SHEAR7 software, and is now available for download. Some of the highlights of this new version include:

  • Addition of a Varying Structure Damping “Stick-Slip” module for BETA testing
  • Distributed amplitude iterations for more accurate hydrodynamic lift and damping (previously known as “Beta Iterations”)
  • Optional stress time history output file

The v4.11 Academic License contains all changes above, including the new Varying Structural Damping “Stick-Slip” module for BETA testing, and is subject to the restrictions detailed in the v4.11 User Guide.

For more information on the SHEAR7 version release or academic licensing, please see the Development Path page, refer to the v4.11 User Guide, or contact the SHEAR7 Management Team directly.

SHEAR7 JIP and User Group Meeting 2021

On Tuesday, March 2, 2021 AMOG hosted our first fully virtual SHEAR7 JIP and User Group Meeting. The day saw 30+ users join the meeting from all over North America, Europe, Colombia, and Australia.

Presentations were given by Prof Kim Vandiver, Craig Dillon-Gibbons, Victoria Ryan, Themis Resvanis and Liexin Ma.

It was a great opportunity for SHEAR7 Users to learn of updates that will be included in the next version of SHEAR7 software, v4.11, which is set to be released later this year.

SHEAR7 v4.10a

The latest version of SHEAR7 (v4.10a) includes a significant improvement to the modelling of spatially varying damping, resulting in a more accurate response prediction, particularly in regions outside of the excitation zone.

This release also resolves bugs relating to the reduced velocity bandwidth parameter and the required number of spatial segments.

For more information on the theoretical improvements, bug fixes, error handling, I/O handling, improved input validation, and command line options, please see the SHEAR7 Evolution and Development Path page.
