We have just released a minor upgrade to OrcaFlex, version 11.3b. Version 11.3b introduces some minor new functionality and fixes a number of bugs. Full details of the changes are described in the documentation:

  • OrcaFlex
  • OrcaWave

We recommend that all users of 11.3 upgrade to 11.3b.

To upgrade to OrcaFlex 11.3b from any previous version, download the install program from your company’s Orcina software download page. A link to this page was sent to your software administration contact when we released 11.3a.
