Known Issues

Solved in Delft3D 4.04.02/4.05.01: Unable to run Delft3D-TIDE Analysis or Prediction

Issue number: DELFT3D-37243

Delft3D 4.04.01 experienced an issue using the Prediction and Analysis functions of the Delft3D-TIDE module. When providing user input, no response is given by the application nor is any output generated. This has been resolved in 4.04.02 and 4.05.01.

Solved in Delft3D 4.04.01: Error message about "Qt platform plugin" in Delft3D FM beta or other Qt-based software after installing Delft3D 4

After installing a version of Delft3D 4, you may receive an error message when using products dependent on specific versions of Qt libraries. For example, the Delft3D FM Suite 2018.03 (1.4.6.40270) beta release will show the error “This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin” when opening “Grid” (RGFGRID) or DIDO. Other software that makes use of the Qt development platform may show similar error messages. The visualization software “Igor Pro 8” is known to be affected.

Work-around: Please (1) open the Windows Start Menu, (2) search for “Environment Variables”, (3) delete the System variable “QT_PLUGIN_PATH” and then (4) restart your computer. This work-around has been tested for the combination of Delft3D 4.03.01 and the Delft3D FM Suite 2018.03 (1.4.6.40270) beta release.

Background info: Components of the Delft3D FM Suite 2018.03 (1.4.6.40270) beta release and possibly other software are based on the Qt 5.10.1, but the environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH set by Delft3D 4 forces them to use an older version of the Qt library, such as the Qt 5.8 of Delft3D 4.03.01.

Solved in Delft3D 4.03.01: RGFGRID crashes when zooming with the scroll-wheel and/or using the Control-key after merging nodes

This issue occurs in Delft3D 4.02.03. Issue number: Delft3D-35136.

Workarounds: After the merge nodes action is performed, press the icon with tooltip “refresh map”. Or:After the merge nodes action is performed, right-click in the RGFGRID window. When performing either of these actions, the complete administration of the unstructured grid is updated and zooming is then available.

Version details: This issue occurs in RGFGRID version 5.02.00.49059
