SVFLUX™GT is designed to model groundwater seepage in unsaturated or saturated soils and rock. Harnessing the power of our new cutting-edge SVCORE™ Finite Element Engine, it is offered as a comprehensive 1D, 2D and 3D program for calculating steady-state and transient-state flow.
Our SVFLUX™GT software package introduces an industry-leading saturated / unsaturated flow finite element analysis package which offers 1D, 2D and 3D analysis. It represents powerful and stable finite element groundwater modeling software calculation of actual evaporation from the ground surface.

Key features of SVFLUX™GT:
SVCORE™: Our new high-performance, robust and stable finite element solution engine
The new solver implements staged construction and excavation of modeling scenarios
Quad/Triangular/Tetrahedral meshing support
Quad/Triangular/Tetrahedral meshing support
Re-designed SVOFFICE™ Manager
1D, 2D and 3D solutions handle any type of modeling problem
Unsaturated flow: Stable analysis of unsaturated soils
Import soil properties from the SVSOILS™ database of over 6200 soils
Semi-automatic mesh generation and manual mesh refinement
Coupling brings the power of seepage modeling to slope stability and stress / deformation consolidation problems
The advanced abilities of model grouping and linking are available which are particularly useful in large and complex modeling sequences.
Easy to use and simplified CAD-based user interface:
A clearly organized menu system with left to right arrangement of primary functions
Allows rapid creation of seepage models
The new 3D CAD graphics engine provides measurably faster overall operation
NEW Surface Mesh Support: The new 3D solution offers support for both surface meshes and grids. Surface mesh support allows models of higher complexity to be produced. Models may be based on geometry obtained from SVDESIGNER™ or from other geological modeling packages such as Vulcan, Minesite, GoCAD or Surpac.
Easily generate 3D models from 2D cross-sections, or slice 3D models into 2D cross-sections
Extensive QAQC program
World Class Support: Highly dedicated team with tracking and fast response to raised issues - typically within 24 - 48 hours
SVFLUX™GT can be applied to geotechnical, civil, hydrogeological and mining engineering projects.
New quad and triangular meshing options give greater variety of solutions.
Unsaturated soil flow problems of increased complexity can be modeled with advanced features such as automatic mesh generation and selective mesh refinement. SVFLUX™GT 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!
