Bentley Systems, Incorporated software

SVFlux is designed to model seepage and groundwater in soils. It is a 1D, 2D, axisymmetric and 3D finite-element program for calculating saturated and unsaturated groundwater flow. The package represents powerful and stable finite element groundwater modeling software including climatic coupling. 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!

SoilVision Systems Ltd. has spent years collecting high-quality unsaturated soil data from sources all over the world. Our database now contains data on over 6200 soil samples. 98% of these soil samples have a soil-water characteristic curve measured in a laboratory. The soil database also contains saturated permeability (hydraulic conductivity) data on over 2500 soils as well as unsaturated permeability data on over 700 soils. It is crucial to have an accurate description of unsaturated soil properties when performing finite element modeling of water and contaminant flow through the unsaturated soil zone. Methods for estimating unsaturated soil properties may not always be reliable. The use of the database contained in the SoilVision software can confirm the potential variability of your unsaturated soil properties. Groups of soils may be selected and plotted together to give a comprehensive idea of the variability of the soil-water characteristic curve.

SVSolid is designed for solving the stress state and deformations in soils under various loading conditions. It is a 1D, 2D and 3D finite-element program for engineering soil mechanics computations. SVSolid simulates the behavior or soil or rock which may undergo elastic or plastic deformations. SVSolid may also be coupled with our groundwater flow or slope stability software.

SoilVision Systems is proud to introduce SVOffice 2009, our most advanced modeling software to date. Take the step into 3D with advanced visualization and model analysis packages.

ChemFlux™ is able to model fate and transport through the saturated and unsaturated zones. The process of advection, diffusion, adsorption and decay may be modeled.

SVAirFlow is designed for use by geotechnical / geoenvironmental engineers, geological engineers, and soil scientists. It can be used to model soil vapor extration and vapor infiltration in unsaturated soils. Saturation levels may be imported from SVFlux. Air pressure or flow boundary conditions may specified as constants or free-form equations.
