Visual MODFLOW Flex (VMOD Flex) is a graphical interface for MODFLOW. The program also combines proprietary extensions, such as MODFLOW-SURFACT, MT3DMS (mass-transport 3D multi-species) and a 3D model explorer. Visual MODFLOW supports MODFLOW-2000, MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-NWT, MODFLOW-LGR, MODFLOW-SURFACT, and SEAWAT.
The software is used primarily by hydrogeologists to simulate groundwater flow and contaminant transport. The program, developed by Schlumberger Water Services, is one of the first commercial graphical interfaces for MODFLOW.
History
The original version of Visual MODFLOW was first released in August 1994, and was developed for DOS by Nilson Guiguer, Thomas Franz and Bob Cleary. It was based on the USGS MODFLOW-88 and MODPATH codes, and resembled the FLOWPATH program that was also developed by Waterloo Hydrogeologic Inc. The first Windows based version was released in 1997 and the main programmers were Sergei Schmakov, Alexander Liftshits, and Sean Wilson.
In 2005, Waterloo Hydrogeologic was acquired by Schlumberger Water Services.
On May 1, 2012, Schlumberger Water Services released its next generation of Visual MODFLOW called Visual MODFLOW Flex.[1]
