SVFLUX™GE is designed to model groundwater seepage in unsaturated or saturated soils and rock. It is offered as a comprehensive 1D, 2D and 3D finite-element program for calculating steady-state and transient-state groundwater flow. The package includes powerful features such as automatic mesh refinement, climatic coupling and calculation of actual evaporation from the ground surface.
Our SVFLUX™GE software package continues to be a market-leading saturated / unsaturated flow finite element analysis package which offers 1D, 2D and 3D analysis. The package represents powerful and stable finite element groundwater modeling software including climatic coupling and calculation of actual evaporation from the ground surface.

Key features and enhancements of SVFLUX™GE:
FEHM Control Volume Finite Element Solver integration providing the following benefits:
Stable solutions of saturated / unsaturated groundwater seepage conditions in 1D / 2D / 3D
Fully automatic mesh generation and mesh refinement
Import soil properties from the SVSOILS™ database of over 6200 soils
Comprehensive climatic interface allows handling of crusts, wet and dry conditions, and even snow!
Climatic actual evaporation boundary condition
Coupling brings the power of seepage modeling to slope stability , contaminant transport, air flow, and freeze/thaw problems
Easy to use and simplified CAD-based user interface:
A clearly organized menu system with left to right arrangement of primary functions
Allows for the rapid creation of seepage models
The new 3D CAD graphics engine provides measurably faster overall operation
Easily generate 3D models from 2D cross-sections, or slice 3D models into 2D cross-sections
SVDESIGNER™ Conceptual Modeling Software Package: This brand new software program is tightly integrated with SVOFFICE™5/WR and allows for the representation and manipulation of complex 3D geometry and takes 3D modeling to a whole new level.
SVOFFICE™5 Manager: the Manager dialog has been redesigned to greatly simplify its usage. Models can easily be grouped by project and stored anywhere on the user’s disk drive.
Extensive QAQC program
World Class Support: Highly dedicated team with tracking and fast response to raised issues - typically within 24 - 48 hours
Premiere Groundwater Seepage Package Continues to Evolve
Unsaturated soil flow problems of increased complexity can be modeled with advanced features such as automatic mesh refinement. SVFLUX™GE can be applied to geotechnical, civil, hydrological and mining engineering projects.
Our CAD-based front end and automated solver allow you to spend time-solving your problem, not designing your mesh. Seepage pore-water pressures can be easily accommodated in our slope stability software. Groundwater models may be built as a series of surfaces and layers and the software can accommodate pinch-outs. Borehole or soil survey data may be used to build 3D groundwater models resulting in the possibility of extremely complex models. Our comprehensive documentation will get you modeling quickly!
