64-bit Processing for Larger, Higher Resolution Models

RockWorks 17 has been completely rewritten to use 64-bit memory addressing to take advantage of much more RAM than ever before.

Eliminate the "Out of Memory" error messages when calculating or displaying large models. RockWorks 17 breaks the 32-bit limitation to provide access to 128 GB - 2 TB of RAM (subject to Windows and computer hardware capabilities).

Bigger, Faster, Better with Multi-Threading

RockWorks 17 uses multi-threading to zip through calculations of large models. Use all the CPU cores on your computer to speed up your model calculations and display.

New 3D Faulting for Grid and Solid Models

Define a 3D fault ribbon with dips and dip directions at XYZ points, then use the fault ribbon as a barrier for 2D gridding and 3D solid modeling.

Use QuickMap for Borehole Locations

The new QuickMap tab provides a quick look at all the boreholes in your project. Quickly "know your data" with a visual display of borehole spacing and distribution.

Native SQLite Database Support

RockWorks 17 advances its database support by moving to native SQLite database support. SQL Server continues to be supported.

SQLite is an in-process library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process; it reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file. SQLite responds gracefully to memory allocation failures and disk I/O errors. Transactions are

Group Solid Components with the New GeoBody Filter

Specify a G value and tolerance to create a new solid model grouping similar values in a new model. Optionally create top and bottom grid surfaces defining the new GeoBody.
