OPEN NATURAL HAZARD MODELING

This month in AvaFrame - December 2023 edition

Welcome to the last update for 2023 :

The (side project) ISeeSnow is in full swing, we are getting the first results from different groups in. With this comes (as always) as few tiny niggles, that we addressed this month. These are mostly related to aimec and plotting functions.

Furthermore we are gearing up for our next release and are in the the testing phase for including com6RockAvalanche also into our QGis connector. Stay tuned for the next release.


This month in AvaFrame - November 2023 edition

Welcome to the November 2023 update:

First up the most important news: we are happy to announce the start of AvaFrame Phase 2! Phase 2 will take place for the next 5 years, and we have many exciting updates and topics planned for it.

With this comes the closure of phase 1 and the final report available under reports (German only). We thank all the contributors and people giving feedback. Your ideas and comments are very much appreciated!


2nd Public Workshop

We are happy to announce our 2nd public AvaFrame workshop.

You are invited to join us on

18. January 2024 at 9:00.

The workshop will be held online, details with links to all necessary information will be posted on this homepage. The workshop will be held in English. We will cover usage of AvaFrame via the AvaFrame QGis Connector and give you some background information on new developments and functionalities. So if you want to learn how to use AvaFrame or have questions about it, we look forward to your participation!


This month in AvaFrame - October 2023 edition

Welcome to the October 2023 update:

We released a new version related to our benchmarking file, see[github] (https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/releases/tag/1.7 ) to get more information.

Again we updated and adjusted a few minor things for the ISeeSnow project, see here: [ISeeSnow repo](https://github. com/avaframe/ISeeSnow). And we are still working on our final report for phase 1, which will also be published on this webpage.

Release Version 1.7

Today we released Version 1.7

This is a benchmark release. We are updating the benchmarks that changed due to the introduction of the samosATAuto friction model. This release contains all necessary configuration changes. The actual result files will be pushed in the next version 1.7.1. We also updated and cleaned all AIMEC plotting, including new plots and removing/consolidating some others.

This month in AvaFrame - September 2023 edition

Welcome to the September 2023 update:

We released a minor version update to change the separator for release are output statistics file, see[github] (https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/releases/tag/1.6.1 ) to get more information.

Some might have noticed, we also enabled downloadable pdfs for our documentation. Now you can take it with you wherever you want to go :-).

Apart from that we did quite a bit of maintenance on our plots and documentation in preparation for the ISeeSnow project that’s coming up.


Release Version 1.6.1

Today we released Version 1.6.1

Change the separator for the release area output statistics.

This month in AvaFrame - August 2023 edition

Welcome to the August 2023 update:

Well, you might have noticed the new version that was released at the end of August. So our month was basically focusing on getting this release out and ironing out the last few niggles of the new functions. Please head over to github to get more information.

We also had our Scientific Meeting, and we are in full preparation mode for the AvaFrame Phase 2. We are currently writing our final report to finish with phase 1.


Release Version 1.6

Today we released Version 1.6

The samosATAuto release: The biggest, most obvious change in this release is the introduction of a samosATAuto friction relation (set as default). It decides the friction calibration for samosAT friction relation based on release volume (small, medium, large). This also means that some of our benchmarks show differences (see attached zip) for those avalanches that are now in the categories small or medium. We will update our benchmark results with the next release. It also means that we now have moved away from a single mu setting (in com1DFACfg.ini) for all friction relations and gave each friction model its own mu setting. Also, the simulation names indicate the friction calibration if small or medium was used.


This month in AvaFrame - July 2023 edition

Welcome to the (quiet) summer update:

Since there’s some proper vacationing going on, this month was rather quiet and mostly focusing on preparation for the next release. So this is a rather short update :-)
