What's new in FEFLOW 7.3?

FEFLOW 7.3 comes with an extended Python interface support unleashing unlimited model parameter descriptions and dependencies to arbitrary properties. A full 3D tensorial representation of hydraulic conductivity is also available as to allow for Python and/or IFM descriptions.

FePEST presents new Cloud computing functions allowing easy job deployments on the Azure Cloud.

New 3D hydraulic conductivity tensor anisotropy mode and input

The Anisotropy page in the Problem Settings is enriched by a new handling mode. User can shape the 3D hydraulic conductivity tensor by Python script and/or IFM access.

 

UI and workflows

• Pre-simulation NaN checks

• Measured time-series shown in head diagrams

• 3D view with cutoff

• Export of observation points name

• Export of velocity components

• Hide parameters turned off in view components

• Unique names in view panel for different age species and multispecies

• Outliers made possible in fringe view mode

Support or different Python Interpreter versions

Since the Python API release, we observe a significant increase of FEFLOW users who automatize their daily workflows. To account for a fast-paced development of the Python Data Science Stack we now support Python versions 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 in addition to the existing Python 2.7.

Python new APIs enrich the parameter description interface to support the formulation in FEFLOW of arbitrary parameter expressions including full tensors representations of hydraulic conductivity. In combination with IFM, this new level of parameter description support pushes the limits towards complex, specific process representations in FEFLOW.

New features in FePEST

• FEFLOW 7.3 comes with Cloud computing functions in FePEST allowing easy job deployments on the Azure cloud

• Easy deploys of FePEST runs on the Azure cloud platform (although not limited to) support for model automatic calibration, sensitivity and uncertainty analyses
