McLane Software provides software tools and training for groundwater flow and contaminant transport projects.
Computer modeling of groundwater flow can provide valuable insight to support project decisions and designs. Of the range of modeling techniques - - that range from simple spreadsheets to complex 3D numerical models - - the Analytical Element Method (AEM) hits the sweet spot of flexibility, power, and ease of use that other methods can’t match. And of the available AEM groundwater flow models, AnAqSim provides the most comprehensive suite of features.
McLane Software has developed the flexAEM product line of training materials and AEM modeling tools. Over a dozen sets of AnAqSim training exercises provide step-by-step instructions for building simple flow models, multi-layer 3D flow models, transient models, and freshwater-saltwater interface models. Instruction sets are also provided that demonstrate flow model construction facilitated by GIS software, and automated calibration and model uncertainty analysis using open source PEST software.
