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.

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).

Short Course: Using Analytic Solutions and the Analytic Element Method for Solving Groundwater Problems, November 2-5, 2016, Nelson, Wisconsin

The short course will be focused on the use of elementary analytic solutions and models created with the Analytic Element Method for solving groundwater flow problems. The approach to solving groundwater problems, regardless of their complexity, is greatly enhanced in terms of both insight and efficiency by carrying out preliminary computations. Such computations may consist of relatively simple solutions amenable to implementation,either in inter-active computer programs such as MATLAB®, or in dedicated analytic element computer programs such as SLAEM or MLAEM.

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:
