FEM – Water Flow
The FEM - Water Flow is used to perform steady state or transient water flow analysis (seepage). Given the material properties and initial conditions at the model boundaries the program computes the evolution and steady state of the pore pressure distribution, degree of saturation in the unsaturated zone, seepage velocities and inflow/outflow through the model. The resulting ground water table can be imported into the standard stress-strain analysis.
Water Flow is an extension module of the FEM program for the analysis of general geotechnical problems.
Main Features
- Material models for the unsaturated zone:
- Log-linear model
- Van Genuchten model
- Gardner model
- Database of material parameters based on USCS classification and soil consistency
- Boundary conditions:
- Impermeable line
- Permeable line
- Prescribed pore pressure
- Prescribed inflow / outflow
- Seepage surface with conditions not known in advance
- Point hydraulic conditions:
- Inflow / outflow
- Pore pressure at a point
- Possibility to represent partially permeable interfaces (contacts) and beams
- Introduction of drains and preference paths
- Flexible time step adjustment for effective computation
- Import and export of the geometry and resulting ground water table in DXF format
- Sharing the resulting ground water table between projects via GeoClipboard
- Lucid representation of pore pressure distribution, flow velocities and ground water table

I use wide scale of programs in different language versions for foreign contracts. I appreciate the possibilities of calculation according to various foreign standards.
Thanks to GEO5 I can propose, test and decide optimal solutions to complex geotechnical problems based on several approaches and hypotheses, thanks to its versatility, simplicity and step by step analysis. The technical service is at the height of the best, being professionals with deep knowledge in the subjects that treat the programs.
It’s really great how easy the software is. I’m now doing the calculations so much faster and easier than doing it manually and most importantly, the technical customer service team are great and they respond instantly and professionally to any question or clarification. Thank you guys for being so awesome. High fives!
