A Complete Groundwater Modeling Environment

Groundwater Vistas (GV) is a sophisticated Windows graphical user interface for 3-D groundwater flow & transport modeling . GV couples a powerful model design system with comprehensive graphical analysis tools. Developed by the author of ModelCadTM, GV is a model-independent graphical design system for MODFLOW MODPATH (both steady-state and transient versions), MT3DMS, MODFLOWT, MODFLOW-SURFACT, MODFLOW2000, GFLOW, RT3D, PATH3D, SEAWAT and PEST.

The advanced (stochastic) version of Groundwater Vistas provides the ideal groundwater risk assessment tool. Groundwater Vistas is the first modeling environment for the MODFLOW family of models that allows for the quantification of uncertainty. Stochastic Groundwater Vistas includes Monte Carlo versions of MODFLOW, MODPATH and MT3D , Geostatistical Simulators SWIFT support and more.

The new Enterprise version includes two additional features. GW3D - a 3D visualization tool that works seamlessly with Groundwater Vistas, and the Remote Model Launch feature which can launch MODFLOW, MODPATH, and MT3DMS over a network on another workstation. Existing Vistas users can purchase the GW3D and Remote Model Launch features separately. Up to 10 Remote Model Lauch licenses can be purchased for each Vistas license so that multiple model simulations can be launched and run simultaneously from a single Vistas license.

GV displays the model design in both plan and cross-sectional views using a split window (both views are visible at the same time). Model results are presented using contours, shaded contours, velocity vectors, and detailed analysis of mass balance.
