30 Second Briefing
GeoStudio 2025.2 adds a 3D Sweep Option that extrudes 2D geometries along user-defined paths, enabling faster setup of complex 3D embankments, tunnels and slopes without full re‑meshing. The release upgrades GeoStudio Python scripting with improved object access and automation of batch analyses, and expands language support to Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. For practitioners, this means quicker parametric studies, easier integration with in‑house workflows, and wider deployment across multinational design teams.
Technical Brief
- 3D Sweep preserves original 2D mesh grading, avoiding manual re-meshing after extrusion edits.
- Users can define variable sweep paths with curvature and elevation changes to follow real alignments.
- Complex cross-section changes along the sweep path are supported via section-by-section profile control.
- Python scripting now exposes more GeoStudio object properties, enabling finer control of analysis definitions.
- Batch automation supports running multiple scenarios sequentially without manual intervention between analyses.
- Scripted workflows can modify material properties and boundary conditions programmatically across large model sets.
- Expanded language support facilitates consistent modelling standards across geographically distributed design offices.
- For large infrastructure portfolios, the new automation tools reduce manual model build time across repeated assets.
