Hello everybody -
 
We are very excited to be able to offer the course:
 
"Building and Applying Analytical Element Models with Examples and Exercises using Python"
 
2.5 Day Shortcourse, September 22-24, S.S. Papadopulos & Assoc.Office, Bethesda, Maryland (USA) 
 
As you know, analytic element models are often refreshingly easy to understand and very insightful. The best approach to learn the analytic element method is to implement it in a simple computer program. This may sound daunting, but using the easy and powerful Python language, it becomes possible for any hydrogeologist with just a basic understanding of the building blocks of a computer program. In this new course, which is taught by me, you will actually build your own analytic element model, and I expect you will have a great time doing it!
 
For further information on the course, please visit: http://www.sspa.com/Software/analytic.shtml
 
A block of rooms will be arranged at a nearby hotel for course participants – details will be provided on this web page soon.
 
For logistical questions, please contact Matt Tonkin, matt@sspa.com
 
For questions on the course content, please contact me at markbak@gmail.com
 
 
We hope to see you in September in Maryland.
 
 
Best regards,

AEM Modeling Short Course, August 6-7, 2009, Bethesda, MD

I am pleased to announce that, in conjunction with S.S. Papadopolous and Associates, Inc., a 2-day short course entitled “Groundwater Model Development with the Analytic Element Method” will be offered on August 6-7 in Bethesda, MD.

The course is geared to those interested in learning how to properly use the analytic element method for developing groundwater models at the local and regional scale. Further information is available at:

www.sspa.com/Software/AEM August 2009 training.shtml [1]

Note that attendance is limited and there is a penalty for registration after July 4, so get your registrations in early! If you have any questions about the course, please do not hesitate to contact the instructor, James Craig, at jrcraig@uwaterloo.ca.

Hold the dates for ICAEM 2010

The next International Conference on the Analytic Element Method is being planned for April 18-21, 2010 in Brainerd, MN, USA. Details to follow.


Visual AEM version 1.0 released March 2008

Dear Visual Bluebird Users,

You are receiving this mail because you have either downloaded the Visual Bluebird groundwater modeling software or have otherwise expressed interest in the release of the newest version of VBB.

Visual Bluebird has been officially superseded by Visual AEM, version 1.0, with extended support for multiple analytical element models, limited transient flow, and multiple layers. Visual AEM can now be accessed via the following web page:

http://www.civil.uwaterloo.ca/jrcraig/VisualAEM/Main.html

Included in this current release:

· Support for multi-layer modeling with the TimML numerical engine · Limited support for transient flow (Theis pumping wells) · Multi-species numerical contaminant transport using analytic (AEM) flow fields · More advanced analytical transport solutions (including parent-daughter decay/biodegradation) · Improved support for basemaps (vector or raster) and digital elevation models (DEMs) · A geological media database for importing common soil types and properties · Element geometric simplification routines · Extended support of contour labeling and visualization, with contour masking · Extended mesh and grid editing capabilities · Improved object manager features · More robust model checking · An updated version of the numerical engine Bluebird/Cardinal (version 3.5) · Many minor revisions, including bug removal

As always, we encourage requests and suggestions! If you have any problems, complaints, or praise for the newest version, feel free to contact the author at jrcraig@uwaterloo.ca

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to other interested parties.

If you would like to be removed from this distribution list, please reply to this message with the heading “UNSUBSCRIBE”

Kind Regards,
