The SMS 10.0 is now available! We are optimistic that the new features and enhancements will make SMS more productive than ever!
The Surface Water Modeling System (SMS) is a comprehensive environment for one-, two, and three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling. A pre- and post-processor for surface water modeling and design, SMS includes 2D finite element, 2D finite difference, 3D finite element modeling tools. Supported models include RMA2, RMA4, ADCIRC, CGWAVE, STWAVE, BOUSS2D, CMS-Flow, CMS-Wave, and GENESIS models. A comprehensive interface has also been developed for facilitating the use of the FHWA commissioned analysis package FESWMS. The TUFLOW numerical model with powerful flood analysis, wave analysis, and hurricane analysis is now supported. SMS also includes a generic model interface, which can be used to support models which have not been officially incorporated into the system.
The numeric models supported in SMS compute a variety of information applicable to surface water modeling. Primary applications of the models include calculation of water surface elevations and flow velocities for shallow water flow problems, for both steady-state or dynamic conditions. Additional applications include the modeling of contaminant migration, salinity intrusion, sediment transport (scour and deposition), wave energy dispersion, wave properties (directions, magnitudes and amplitudes) and others.
New enhancements and developments continue at the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL) at Brigham Young University in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (USACE-WES), and the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Automated Mesh/Grid Generation
SMS can be used to construct 2D and 3D finite element meshes and finite difference grids of rivers, estuaries, bays, or wetland areas. The tools include a sophisticated set of creation and editing tools to handle complex modeling situations with relative ease. Several methods of finite element mesh creation are available, allowing you to create any combination of rectangular and triangular elements needed to represent your model domain. Both cartesian and boundary-fitted grid creation tools are available to allow representation of a model domain for finite difference models. The powerful mesh/grid creation tools, coupled with GIS objects, are what makes SMS such an easy-to-use and accurate modeling system!
There are two main methods for building models in SMS, the direct approach and the conceptual modeling approach. With the direct approach, the first step is to create a mesh or grid. The model parameters, source/sink data, and boundary conditions are assigned directly to the nodestrings, nodes, and elements of the mesh. This approach is only suited for very simple models.
The most efficient approach for building realistic, complex models is the conceptual model approach. With this approach, a conceptual model is created using GIS objects, including points, arcs, and polygons. The conceptual model is constructed independently of a mesh or grid. It is a high-level description of the site including geometric features such as channels and banks, the boundary of the domain to be modeled, flow rates and water surface elevations of boundary conditions, and material zones with material properties such as Manning's n value. Once the conceptual model is complete, a mesh or grid network is automatically constructed to fit the conceptual model, and the model data are converted from the conceptual model to the elements and nodes of the mesh network

EMS-I.GMS.V6.5 register crack
The GMS 6.5 is now available! We are optimistic that the new features and enhancements will make GMS more productive than ever!
GMS is the most sophisticated and comprehensive groundwater modeling software available! Used by thousands of people at U.S. Government agencies, private firms, and international sites in over 90 countries, it has been proven to be an effective and exciting modeling system. GMS provides tools for every phase of a groundwater simulation including site characterization, model development, calibration, post-processing, and visualization. GMS supports both finite-difference and finite-element models in 2D and 3D including MODFLOW 2000, MODPATH, MT3DMS/RT3D, SEAM3D, ART3D, UTCHEM, FEMWATER, PEST, UCODE, MODAEM and SEEP2D. Regardless of your modeling needs, GMS has the tools!
The program’s modular design enables the user to select modules in custom combinations, allowing the user to choose only those groundwater modeling capabilities that are required. Additional GMS modules can be purchased and added at any time. The software will dynamically link to these subsequent modules at run time—automatically adding additional modeling capability to the software.
Groundwater Flow & Transport Options
The variety of modeling options in GMS is unparalleled! Rather than being limited to one main model (such as MODFLOW) and accompanying “add-on” codes, GMS provides interfaces to a wide range of 2D or 3D models. Here is a brief overview of the options available to you:
2D Flow
Perform fast, easy modeling with the MODAEM analytical element model integrated into GMS!
2D finite-element seeepage modeling is supported in the SEEP2D model - perfect for dams, levees, cutoff trenches, etc.
3D Flow
3D finite difference modeling with MODFLOW 2000 (saturated zone)
3D finite-element modeling with FEMWATER (saturated and unsaturated zone)
Solute Transport
Simple analytical transport modeling with ART3D
Simple 3D transport with MT3D, MODPATH, or FEMWATER
Reactive 3D transport with RT3D or SEAM3D
Multi-phase reactive transport with UTCHEM
Unsaturated Zone Flow and Transport
Fully 3D unsaturated/saturated flow and transport modeling with FEMWATER or UTCHEM
GIS-based Model Conceptualization
One of GMS's greatest strengths traditionally has been the conceptual model approach. This approach makes it possible to build a conceptual model in the GMS Map Module using GIS feature objects (points, arcs, and polygons). The conceptual model defines the boundary conditions, sources/sinks, and material property zones for a model. The model data can then be automatically discretized to the model grid or mesh. The conceptual model approach makes it possible to deal with large complex models in a simple and efficient manner.
The GIS Module now available in GMS has made creating conceptual models from GIS data even easier. With direct linkage to ArcGIS and almost any format of GIS data, you can access geometry and attributes faster than ever before.
Whether the GIS data is created in GMS or imported from GIS files, the method of model building remains the same. You edit the model at a GIS object level and let GMS do the hard work of grid or mesh building and parameter assignment to each element of the model.
3D Model Conceptualization
GMS presents new and improved tools for the creation of complex 3D stratigraphy models and the ability to translate that 3D object direclty to a finite-difference grid model or fininte-element mesh model.
The “Horizons” approach allows you to create complex solids from borehole and cross section data quickly and easily. These tools alow you to create solids with complex stratigraphy such as pinch out zones, truncations, and outcroppings.

PetraSim v4.6 license crack
PetraSim is an interactive pre-processor and post-processor for the TOUGH2, T2VOC, and TETRAD codes. PetraSim is the only fully integrated interface for TOUGH2 and T2VOC and the only modern interface for TETRAD. This review focuses on use of Petrasim for TOUGH2 and T2VOC, which simulate multiphase transport of fluids (gas, water, NAPLs) and heat in porous and fractured media. TOUGH2 and T2VOC have been used for more than a decade to simulate problems ranging from unsaturated zone transport and heat transfer at Yucca Mountain, geothermal-reservoir engineering, density-driven gas transport of VOCs, partitioning-tracer tests, and various remediation schemes (e.g. SVE, air sparging, pump and treat). The input for these codes is complex, and data entry is generally accomplished via text-based input files. While some firms have developed proprietary GUIs, they shave not earned the broad support of the TOUGH2-user community. However, Petrasim makes use of the TOUGH2 codes much easier. Users can construct and run a TOUGH2-T2VOC simulation and view the results entirely within PetraSim. Petrasim allows development of complex three-dimensional grids, boundary conditions, and initial conditions. Construction and assignment of wells for fluid or heat injection and extraction is also simple. The complex array of multiphase-fluid and heat transport parameters is arranged in a remarkably intuitive manner. Output can be visualized in PetraSim without importing the output text files into an external graphics program. I expect this software will result in increased use of the TOUGH2-T2VOC codes. A demo version of PetraSim is available free of charge for a limited-time at http://www.thunderheadeng.com/. Numerous example problems are provided. The most recent version of Petrasim must be purchased (same web site), and includes integrated TOUGH2 and T2VOC solvers at no extra cost. An educational package is also available for a reduced price.

RICARDO_SOFTWARE_WAVE_V7 license crack
Ricardo is pleased to announce the release of a new state-of-the-art version of its WAVE engine performance and gas dynamics simulation product. The new features and advanced simulation technologies of WAVE v7 represent a robust virtual development environment offering improved accuracy with solution times reduced by orders of magnitude. Key WAVE v7 features include:
WaveBuild3D: Released with WAVE v7, WaveBuild3D provides a CAD environment which enables users to build solid, three dimensional models which can be automatically meshed for use in WAVE. Based on the powerful ACIS畇olid modeller from Spatial Technologies, this pre-processor enables users to build highly complex geometric models of components such as exhaust and intake systems, concentrating on engineering design issues rather than modelling details.
Run Distribution: This new innovation for WAVE v7 offers the potential to unleash the power of a multiprocessor or network computer system to deliver costeffective, large-scale optimization and massive productivity improvements. Run Distribution licenses enable a single multi-case WAVE model to be broken down into many single-case models and submitted to a network or cluster of computing resources for simultaneous execution. Using Run Distribution, there are no restrictions within WAVE on the number of parallel executions of the model.
RCAT 3D Catalyst: This three dimensional catalyst model brings new levels of accuracy and resolution to emissions simulation. Rapid calculation speed is achieved using optimized solvers for flow, heat transfer and chemistry. Multiple RCAT 3D catalysts can be used within a WAVE model with full interaction between them, as well as heat generated from catalytic reactions returned to the WAVE model. Results can be viewed in WAVE抯 new 3D postprocessor to visualise the light-off event within the catalyst brick.
Improvements to WaveMesher: The release of the original version of WaveMesher in version 5 was a major step forward in enabling customers to automatically create consistent and accurate WAVE models directly from CAD data. With WAVE v7, the WaveMesher is improved with the addition of an arbitrary cut plane capability, which greatly extends the type and range of geometry that can be processed. In addition, the implementation of orifice junctions in the automatically generated mesh, and improved algorithms for meshing as well as interface and methodology enhancements look set to make WaveMesher the tool of choice for those creating WAVE models from CAD data.
Improved Pre/Post Processing: WaveBuild抯 new Element Manager enables centralised creation and management of model elements. It also enables the organisation and reuse of elements within and between models using templates. FreeType fonts and imported logos enable users to enhance the appearance and branding of graphical output.
Diesel Particulate Filter: WAVE抯 emissions capabilities are further extended with the new 1-D model for wall-flow DPFs, which accounts for the collection of soot particles while the resultant pressure drop is controlled in the WAVE flow network. Filter regeneration strategies can be evaluated via cosimulation using an external model of the engine management system.

Scripting language to customize simulation and analysis
Lorentz, Drude, Debye and anisotropic materials
Data import/export with BRO's ASAP ray-tracing package
Data export to Matlab or ASCII file formats
Structure import from GDSII files
Extensive online help
Features
Boundary conditions:
absorbing (PML), periodic, Bloch, symmetric, asymmetric, and metal boundaries
Simulation objects:
primitives that can be rotated and placed in three dimensions, and structure definition from imported SEM/image files; primitives include triangles, rectangular blocks, cylinders, conic surfaces, polyons, rings, user-defined (parametric) surfaces, spheres and pyramids
Radiation sources:
waveguide sources, dipoles, plane waves, focused beams and diffraction-limited spots, total-field scattered-field (TFSF) sources, and source import/export from/to BRO's ASAP ray-tracing program
Measurement monitors:
refractive index monitors, time- and frequency-domain monitors to measure pulsed or continuous-wave (CW) field profiles and power flow, and movie monitors to generate .mpg movies of field dynamics
Parallel/clustered performance
The parallel option of FDTD Solutions allows for large-scale and rapid simulation of optical components, by distributing computational load and memory requirements across multiple nodes. Measured data shows that parallel FDTD Solutions offers significant performance enhancements as measured by the speed increase of simulations performed on multi-core and multiprocessor computing systems. Access to an 8-computer cluster will allow you to simulate a structure 8 times larger, or allow you to simulate the original structure approximately 6 times quicker.
The data further shows that these advantages - the ability to run much larger simulations, or run simulation much more quickly - are also available on much larger computer clusters, like the tests run on 128 processors as shown.

TrueGrid V2.3 license
TrueGrid® is the preprocessor of choice in many different industries. Unfortunately, as is so often the case, the best and most interesting meshes are protected by non-disclosure agreements or stronger. Nonetheless, we have been able to gather several representative meshes -- some built by our staff, some built by our customers -- to demonstrate TrueGrid®'s ability to efficiently generate high quality hexahedral meshes and grids.
We have gathered these examples into 3 categories: Finite Element Meshes, Computational Fluid Grids and BioMechanical Meshes. Structural meshes tends to have lower aspect ratios and to otherwise be qualitatively distinct from the grids used in fluid dynamics. The third category, biomechanical meshes, is based on the geometry definition rather than the analysis type. Biomechanical geometry is frequently obtained as many points (e.g. a CAT scan or MRI). Software is then used or a program is written to represent these points by polygonal surfaces. These polygonal surfaces, sometimes hundreds of them, are read into TrueGrid® and are used as the boundaries of the mesh.

ManiaBarco Ucam v8.2.1 LICENSE crack
Mania Belgium NV (formerly known as Barco), the photoplotter and software division recently bought from the administrators of Mania Technologie AG by ESO, released UCAM version V8.2.1. in June this year. Despite the upheavals within the Mania Group, product development at Mania Belgium has continued without interruption.
Frank van den Bossche, Product Manager Software, commented, "The focus of UCAM V 8.2.1 is on enhancing plant yields and providing a more robust product for the end user. A large number of customers have now upgraded to UCAM version V8.2.1., and it is very well received. Customers comment favourably on the stability of this release, as well as on the gain in productivity. "
New Design for Manufacturability (DFM) procedures allow each fabricator to define more precise rules to optimize copper and solder-mask layouts to meet his own manufacturing requirements and his customer's performance specifications.
UCAM's field-proven electrical test solutions are further enhanced for advanced HDI designs. New Z-axis adjacency algorithms enable testing for current leakage through thin (especially screened- or photo-) dielectrics as well as detection of over-drilled blind microvias. For high-density layouts with BGAs and other small foot-print components, new staggering rules allow the user to input his detailed test strategies into Mania Belgium's expert-system fixture-generation programs.
All automation rules are set up directly on-screen using Mania Belgium's clear dynamic automation menus without the need for time-consuming programming.

SDS/2 Data.Design.System.Suite.V7.1.28 License keygen
SDS/2 is the only product with the built-in intelligence to automatically design connections using a 3D model with a multitude of options for beams, columns, bracing and joists. A full station of SDS/2 gives you the power to get the job done.
Connections are designed based on parameters that you define for each job. Designate material, edge distance, cope criteria and other connection specifications, and SDS/2 will automatically generate connections that meet your requirements.
Then you can model all the minor pieces of steel — ladders, handrails, stairs, hoppers, bins, checkered plates, etc. — with SDS/2’s parametric modeling feature. You’ll save a phenomenal amount of time by creating a 3D model with every piece of material, bolt and hole in the right place.
When the model is complete, SDS/2’s automatic detailing feature creates a comprehensive set of 2D drawings, unlike what other software systems generate. Plus, the drawings require few modifications, because you create adaptive detailing rules that work in conjunction with the system’s automated detailing routines.
SDS/2 also automatically creates all of the major member details, submaterial details and erection views, another time-saving feature. And because these 2D drawings are taken from the model, the erection crew always gets an accurate fit in the field.
SDS/2 is more than the software you need today or tomorrow. It’s a key building block for the future of your business.
For more than two decades, Design Data has diligently worked to make SDS/2 the best product on the market. By constantly updating SDS/2 with an array of new and creative solutions, Design Data remains at the forefront of innovation in the steel industry. New SDS/2 features, connections and enhancements are being developed every day.
Among many innovations, Design Data was the first software company to provide:
Automatic connection design
Detailing with a framing plan approach
Multi-site capabilities with one model
Multi-user capabilities with one model
True 3D model for producing details
Automated shop equipment support
Capability to import engineering data into detailing system
Job status tracking
3D model review
Customizable drawing presentation

AccuMark 8.3 (C) Gerber Technology
Tolland, Conn., USA – Gerber Technology, a unit of Gerber Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: GRB) and the world leader in automated CAD/CAM and PLM solutions for the apparel and flexible materials industry, announces the release of AccuMark™ version 8.3. This update to the industry’s benchmark software for pattern design, grading and marker making includes system navigation enhancements and upgrades to enhance efficiency, data integration and ease of use. Included in the update is an improved interface with its WebPDM and Fashion Lifecycle Management suite.
“Tight integration between CAD and PDM/PLM software is such an important factor in facilitating Product Lifecycle Management,” said Bill Brewster, Gerber Technology’s vice president of global marketing and product management. “As we focus on continuous improvements to enable our customers to maintain their competitive edge, AccuMark’s interface with WebPDM and our PLM suite, Fashion Lifecycle Management, is something we’re really proud of. That, combined with the other enhancements, makes this new release a valuable tool in industries including fashion where high velocity production is a must to remain competitive,” he added.
In addition, Gerber Technology enhanced Pattern Wizard, one of the most popular functions within the AccuMark system. Pattern Wizard enables users of all experience levels to quickly and easily generate graded costing patterns from a library of pre-defined garment types and finished garment size specifications; it can also be used to modify existing styles, using a measurement chart. Wizards are created by the brands and emailed to the global suppliers to control the quality of the styles being created offshore and to ensure their standard patterns are created correctly and to specification.
AccuMark V8.3 supports both SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005. SQL Server Express 2005 is included with the AccuMark software, free of charge, so that companies can be introduced to the benefits of SQL without having to purchase Server 2005. SQL Server Express provides users with better access to statistical data from their AccuMark systems and allows users to run database applications on desktops and small servers.
When combined with AccuMark V8.3, SQL Server 2005 provides users with increased levels of data security, user-level controls of access to data, and more robust user access to data on large networks of AccuMark systems. As the top choice in enterprise databases, SQL Server 2005 facilitates communication between the AccuMark and other ERP systems, providing easier access to the AccuMark data for querying, scheduling or even remote processing of data.
“AccuMark version 8.3 allows users to make the most of their time and resources. By listening to our customers, we continue to innovate by expanding the features to meet customer needs for both speed and cost reduction,” said Angela Cruz, product manager, AccuMark family products, Gerber Technology. “We are really pleased to see this product continue to evolve and to be the leading choice of so many in the industry.”
Currently available in more than 20 languages, AccuMark is the standard for pattern design, grading and marker making/nesting in the apparel, transportation interiors, furniture and industrial fabrics industries. AccuMark software is used by more than 13,000 customers worldwide, with more than 38,000 seats installed.
