Third-party components

The Analyst application is built on numerous open-source libraries, frameworks, and programs. These components can be used independently and without restriction, even outside the scope of the Analyst license. However, each is governed by its own license and is not considered “sold,” even when distributed together with the commercial parts of Analyst. The list of third-party software may vary between different Analyst versions.

If you cannot find an answer or solution in the Analyst user guides/, contact our support team at support@solargis.com.

To help us resolve your request efficiently, include the following information in your message:

  • A description of the issue, question, or suggestion.

  • A screenshot (attached or pasted into the message body), if applicable.

  • The SDAT log file, if you are reporting an error or bug — this can significantly speed up the investigation.

  • Your data file(s), if the issue is related to data — for example, a Solargis Analyst exchange file, a .db file, or any other relevant file. Provide large files via a shared link.

Attaching the SDAT log file

Solargis Analyst writes its internal log to a local text file. Attach this file when reporting errors or bugs, ideally immediately after the error occurs.

To locate and attach the log file:

  1. Copy the path %LOCALAPPDATA%\SDAT and paste it directly into Windows Explorer. The folder contents will be displayed. The full path is typically C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\SDAT. You can bookmark this folder for future reference.

  2. Locate the file named sdat_runtime.log and attach it to your message.

Tip: You can also paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\SDAT\sdat_runtime.log directly into your email client's attachment dialog to locate and attach the file without navigating to it manually.
