The maximum proppant concentration is still hardwired to 0.7. It should probably increased to 1.0
Need to take a closer look at proppant stress when the new conductivity curves (indexed by proppant concentration and stress) are used.
Perforated tunnels:
Simplified logic cluster volume calculation needs to take in consideration that the part of the perf. tunnel cylinder is already taken into consideration by the borehole volume;
Generalize the logic for viscosity transition allowing switch from power-law fluid and include power-law fluid and fluid transition in the simplified logic; and
resetClusterOnNodes is called after a stage is inactivated; it probably should not to avoid premature connection of the active fractures with those connected with inactive clusters.
Export grid function is limited to infinite horizontal plane seams. Will added ability to specify export extent based on top and lower seam for minimum and maximum Z-coordinate and fractures location for X- and Y-coordinates.
Added support for exporting only connected microcracks with grid
Added option to render only FRACMAN DFN with connected pipes

Proppant volumes instead of concentrations are used during proppant transport calculation. Old volumes are reset in the function that updates proppant concentration due to volume change (and does propopant stress calculation)
Fixed sink histories only showing 0
Fixed the bug causing instability in propped fractures
Old volumes of fluid elements are reset outside calculateProppantStress function. The change preserves correct old volume for the simplified fluid calculations

août 29, 2024
Added option to generate Slurm script instead of SGE
Forces are not initialized in the joint springs for the Voronoi lattice. Forces in those springs should be generated during mechanical equilibration. The force initialization previously used resulted in relatively large force fluctuation and tensile forces, even for all compressive stress states. The force/displacement function is simplified. The check for spring state is done in one place, at the end of the function. The tensile strength and cohesion factors are refined.
