FEFLOW

FEFLOW

FEFLOW (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) is a computer program for building and simulating groundwater flow. The program uses a finite element analysis to solve the groundwater flow equation of both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The software has been under development since 1979 by WASY GmbH of Berlin, Germany (the acronym WASY translates from German to "Institute for Water Resources Planning and Systems Research"). The company has since been renamed to DHI-WASY GmbH after joining the DHI Group.

FEFLOW has a unique graphical user interface when compared to most other Microsoft Windows-based groundwater modelling software. This is attributed to the Motif widget toolkit used to develop the interface.

The program is offered in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Linux and for Microsoft Windows operating systems (using a proprietary X Window System, Hummingbird Exceed). Support for UNIX platforms ended with version 5.3; prior support was provided for IRIX, Tru64, and Solaris.
