Short Course: Groundwater Modeling with AnAqSim, October 5-6, 2015, South Portland, Maine

This two-day course introduces you to groundwater modeling with AnAqSim. AnAqSim is a state-of-the-art well-integrated analytic element modeling program with a broad range of capabilities including heterogeneity, anisotropy, multilayer systems (3D), transient flow, and coastal interface flow. It is quick and easy compared to numerical models like MODFLOW, runs in a simple graphical user interface with a complete set of model results analysis tools, and is well-suited for analyzing remediation designs, construction and mining dewatering, well fields, and regional aquifer flow. Attendees will run AnAqSim on their own laptop and work through example models as we progress, learning general groundwater modeling concepts and skills, while learning how to implement them with AnAqSim. This course has 14 hours of instruction time, applicable to continuing education hours for many professional licenses.


International Conference on Analytic Element Method, May 30-31, 2015, Golden, CO

The 7th International Conference on the Analytic Element Method (ICAEM) will be held Saturday, May 30 through Sunday, May 31, on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado.

McLane Environmental offers new AEM tutorials & training

flexAEM System offers an easy introduction to groundwater modeling using analytic element software. The system consists of hands-on tutorials, courses, software tools, and “best practice” tips to introduce you to analytic element modeling at your own pace. flexAEM materials are designed to help experienced modelers add a fast and powerful new technique to their toolkit, or to help hydrogeologists and engineers make the calculations they need without the steep learning curve of complex modeling software.

Visit flexAEM.com for more information.


AnAqSimEdu - new free educational version of AnAqSim (analytic aquifer simulator).

AnAqSimEdu was developed as a supplement to the 2nd edition of the textbook Groundwater Science, published by Elsevier. AnAqSimEdu simulates single-layer steady flow with confined, unconfined, and interface domains. Allows heterogeneity and anisotropy. Line boundaries include: head-specified, normal flux-specified, river, interdomain. Nice user interface. Available at this link:

Fitts Geosolutions offers new analytic element software

AnAqSim (Analytic Aquifer Simulator) is groundwater flow modeling software based on an analytic element approach that divides the modeled region into subdomains (Fitts, 2010, Water Resources Research). It uses finite difference time steps to offer complete transient capabilities. AnAqSim handles multi-layer (3D) flow and also does fresh/salt water interface flow. AnAqSim is much more powerful and versatile than earlier analytic element programs like TWODAN (previous Fitts Geosolutions software).
