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).
