FaultFold 7

FaultFold is an update of the forward modeling part of my program FaultFold. It has an updated interface and a beta version of the inverse modeling part of the original program. The program will import old FaultFold text files.

A comprehensive manual is included with the zip archive

 Version History

Version 7.2.0 — 2019.03.18

  • Compiled with the latest version of my Windows compiler. This fixes a bug that prevented Windows from launching the program successfully.

  • Windows version now comes in a standard “Setup” program so that the program gets correctly installed, including the .dll’s.

  • Mac version has a slightly nicer cursor, and has been recompiled with the most recent compiler, but otherwise is unchanged.

Version 7.1.1 — 2017.03.16

  • Fixed a bug in Windows caused by a corrupted cursor icon, of all things...

Version 7.1.0 — 2017.03.15

  • BETA version of the grid search inverse modeling from the original FaultFold. Use with caution. Please let me know what bugs you encounter the the steps necessary to reproduce them. This version is missing many features of the original grid search including search on line or in a rectangle, resume inversions, etc. These will be added when I have time.

  • 64-bit versions of the Mac and Windows apps

  • New compiler with significant optimizations. You should note much snappier performance with this version than with previous versions of FaultFoldForward

Version 6.6.0 — 2014.01.29

  • The Mac version FaultFoldForward is now code signed with my own developer certificate from Apple so you should now be able to run it the first time with nothing more than the usual "are you sure..." dialog box.

  • New Help Menu provides easy access to the users manual. Choosing Help>FaultFoldForward Help will automatically launch the PDF of the manual in your default pdf viewing program

Version 6.5.1 — 2013.06.14

  • Many bug fixes made to the version posted yesterday. That's what I get for posting prematurely!

  • Menu choices only enabled when the data type or quantity is present (i.e., plotting a picture is disabled if you haven't entered a picture yet…)

Version 6.5.0 — 2013.06.13

  • Animation recording — FFF can now capture frames of a model as it evolves as individual .jgp files which you can then assemble into a full fledged animation using software like QuickTime Player 7, iMovie, Graphic Converter, and other programs. When you choose File>Start Animation Recording, FFF will ask for the directory where you want to save the frames. Any time you choose Model>Run or Model>Continue new frames will be added until you choose File>Stop Animation Recording.

  • FFF is now a Cocoa application on Mac OS X version

  • Several under the hood changes to how imported pictures look and added the ability to drag and rotate those pictures

  • Lots of changes behind the scenes for a new development environment.

Version 6.2.0 — 2012.06.11

  • Scrollable cross section area — the cross section drawing area has now been made much larger than the window. You can now use the scroll bars (or scroll wheel on a mouse) to navigate to all parts of the drawing area. The initial view is centered in the middle of the drawing area.

  • SVG graphics output — cross sections can now be saved as .svg files. These can be visualized in most modern web browsers and can be opened as vector files and modified my most modern vector graphics programs. For some tasks, they are preferable to pdfs because they save things like beds as single polygons rather than unconnected line segments.

  • The usual cosmetic bug fixes...

Version 6.1.1 — 2012.01.11

  • Fixed a bug in Add beds that would trigger an unintended warning when more than one bed was added at a time

  • The cross section tab is now automatically brought to the front if one is in the Info tab and tries to do anything related to the model (new model, modify model, start new fault, etc.)

  • Small interface tweaks

Version 6.1.0— 2012.01.10 -- Initial beta release!

  • This version does not include any of the inverse modeling capabilities of previous versions of FaultFold. We will add this functionality eventually
