The Analytic Element community has been very prolific with respect to the creation of software packages implementing the method. They are presented here in two categories: Computational Engines — software for research, specialized use, and command-line or script-driven workflows — and User Interfaces — which include computational engine(s) along with a user interface, project database, mapping window, and graphical output/export, for the purpose of facilitating the design of groundwater models.
