Visual MODFLOW Flex – Professional Groundwater Modeling Software

Visual MODFLOW Flex Overview

Visual MODFLOW Flex, originally developed by Schlumberger and now developed by Waterloo Hydrogeologic, is groundwater modeling software. Don’t think of it as just a simple graphical shell for the ModFlow simulation system! The solute transport process, analysis and calibration tools, and most importantly, the ability to visualize data in 3D – it’s everything you expect from groundwater modeling software. Having all these tools in one common graphical platform will save you a lot of time because you don’t have to switch to separate software for each part of the project.
