Visual MODFLOW Flex stands as one of the most comprehensive software packages for building mathematical models to simulate groundwater flow and contaminant transport. With over 30 years of market leadership, this software evolves constantly to meet the needs of hydrogeologists and environmental professionals.
Official Representative:
Leading software on the market for the last 30 years and constantly evolving
Visual MODFLOW Flex brings together industry-standard codes for groundwater flow and contaminant transport, essential analysis and calibration tools, and impressive 3D visualization capabilities in a single environment.
With Visual MODFLOW Flex, you have a comprehensive set of tools needed to address water quality, groundwater supply, and source water protection initiatives.
With the ability to support MODFLOW-6, the newest core version of the groundwater modeling code developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Visual MODFLOW Flex now works with the finite control volume method in addition to finite differences.
This improvement delivers a mathematical solution as flexible as that of finite elements, enabling the creation of unstructured meshes and expanding the tool’s application potential.
