Visual MODFLOW Flex (v12.0)
Looking for all-in-one groundwater simulation software? Well, Visual MODFLOW Flex 12.0 is ready for you, at first I wondered whether hydrogeology software even existed. After digging around everywhere, it turns out it does. This program bundles a 3D conceptual model, numerical MODFLOW, GIS, and PEST into a single workspace. From importing boreholes all the way to running the simulation. The whole package. 😅
In my last test, MODFLOW could also display its output in a 3D view like that. And that is not all, in the 12.0 update there is MT3D-USGS, which replaces MT3DMS. A new transport system inside Flex.
For those used to running GEOVIA Surpac for mine block models, the workflow connects nicely. It is handy for measuring groundwater flow, and for safety during the mineral extraction process.
Plus, add ESRI ArcGIS Pro for geographic analysis and area mapping.
But honestly, this software is heavy. Windows 11 and 16 GB of RAM or more are a must. Models with millions of cells can eat up to 32 GB of RAM. The learning curve is something else too. Steep!
