Analysis Suite — Release Notes
Full changelog for all tools in the Analysis Suite.
GHE Analysis
Version 2.4
Geocooling and Domestic Hot Water
- Geocooling (passive cooling) — bypass the heat pump in cooling mode via a heat exchanger
- Domestic hot water (DHW) — loads integrated into simulation for both heating and cooling modes
- Data import and copy-paste — borehole coordinates, heat pump performance curves, and thermal load profiles
Version 2.3
Standing Column Well Support
- Standing column well (SCW) — full sizing and simulation for a GHE composed of 1 SCW
- Extended borehole depth up to 500 m for all configurations (coaxial, single U-loop, double U-loop, SCW)
- Improved performance for large GHEs (>300 boreholes) — simulation kernel 2–3× faster
- Data export issue resolved
Version 2.2
Hourly Simulation from 1 to 50 Years
- Hourly simulations for design horizons of 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 50 years
- Customizable chart views
- Chart rendering performance improved by a factor of 3–20×
- Simulation kernel automatic optimization after first use
- Stability fix — fatal crash from version 2.1 resolved
Version 2.1
Thermal Plume Visualization
- Thermal plume viewer — 2D visualization of the spatial extent and evolution of the subsurface thermal plume
- Ground temperature evaluation at user-defined locations
- Extended GHE sizing periods — 25, 50, and 100-year horizons added
- Improved undisturbed ground temperature model based on surface temperature and geothermal heat flux
Version 2.0
Inclined Boreholes with Groundwater Flow
- Inclined boreholes with groundwater flow — inclined finite line source model with full groundwater flow support
- 3D borehole viewer — inspect borehole layouts, orientations, and depths within the interface
- Interface and font rendering improvements across platforms
- Address finder and mapping utility (development preview)
Version 1.4
Extended Borehole Field Support
- Large borehole field support — regular and irregular fields from 1 to 625 boreholes
- Improved GUI responsiveness — smoother and faster user interaction
- Dark theme refinements for cleaner, more consistent appearance
- Stability fix — critical crash when sizing tool was used before load initialization resolved
- New installer for streamlined installation and setup
Version 1.3
Coaxial BHE and Spreadsheet Export
- Coaxial borehole heat exchangers — added alongside single and double U-loop configurations
- Spreadsheet export — simulation results exportable for custom charts and further analysis
- Improved convective heat transfer modeling in the transition zone (2300 < Re < 4000)
- Borehole resistance calculation up to 3× faster
- Validation against more than 100 published reference scenarios
Version 1.2
Faster Simulation and Chart Tooltips
- Fluid temperature simulation 3× faster
- Chart tooltips for easier data interpretation
- Expanded groundwater flow velocity range
- Borehole coordinate copy directly from table
- Minor features, GUI improvements, and bug fixes
Version 1.1
Flexible Load Input and Faster G-Functions
- G-function evaluation 2.5× faster — 40 ms for 100-borehole fields on most desktops
- Flexible load input — monthly base and peak loads in addition to hourly profiles
- COP input — direct entry of GSHP coefficient of performance and manufacturer data
- Minor features, GUI improvements, and bug fixes
