Training

Aquaveo conducts first-class training courses in water resources modeling on a continuing basis throughout the year. Aquaveo instructors have more than 30 years of combined experience in software development of computer programs for scientific modeling and visualization. All of our instructors are affiliated with Brigham Young University's Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory, and are involved in the development of the EMRL modeling packages - GMS, SMS, & WMS.

Aquaveo offers Continuing Education Units for each course to assist customers in meeting state registration board requirements for P.E. license renewal.

All course attendees receive a 25% Discount (up to $500.00 USD) on the purchase of software!!

Course Summary:

  1. Groundwater Flow & Transport Modeling with GMS

    Orlando, Florida USA | March 10-13, 2009
    Las Vegas, Nevada USA | October 6-9, 2009
    The groundwater modeling training course by Aquaveo is designed as a hands-on, application oriented training course. The course will provide the attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to solve groundwater modeling problems quickly and efficiently. The course will begin with a discussion on how to use the geostatistical tools in GMS to characterize existing contaminant plumes in both two- and three-dimensions. A series of tutorials and lessons on the GMS interface to MODFLOW/MODPATH/ MT3DMS/RT3D will then be given including an explanation of how to use the Map Module to create numerical models directly from a high-level conceptual model constructed with GIS tools. Analytic element modeling with MODAEM will also be covered...




  2. 2D Hydrodynamic Flow & Transport with SMS

    Orlando, Florida USA | March 10-13, 2009
    Las Vegas, Nevada USA | October 13-16, 2009
    The 2D Surface Water Modeling with SMS training course is designed for hydraulic engineers who wish to learn how to use automatic mesh generation tools in combination with proven analytical software to perform their two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling projects. In this hands-on, application oriented training course will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to solve 2D hydrodynamic modeling problems quickly and efficiently with the latest version of SMS. The course will teach users how to use SMS visualization tools to illustrate flow fields in 2D also. A series of lessons and tutorials are provided on RMA2 and FESWMS for flow modeling and RMA4 for transport modeling, including how to use the SMS Map module to create numercal models from high-level conceptual model data (GIS objects)...




  3. Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling with WMS

    Orlando, Florida USA | March 10-13, 2009
    Las Vegas, Nevada USA | October 13-16, 2009
    The watershed and river modeling training course is designed as a hands-on, application oriented training course. The course will provide the attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to get the most out of GIS data developed specifically for watershed modeling and hydraulic modeling. How to use digital terrain data for development of hydrologic and hydraulic parameters important to common analysis programs - HEC-1, HEC-HMS, TR-55, NFF, And HEC-RAS. Attendees will set up and run hydrologic and hydraulic simulations using several industry standard numerical models...




  4. MODRAT Modeling with the Watershed Modeling System (WMS)

    Alhambra, California USA | February 17-19, 2009
    Aquaveo invites all water resource and flood control engineers to a training course covering graphical tools in WMS used to perform hydrologic modeling with the Los Angeles Dept. of Public Works Modified Rational (MODRAT) runoff model. An overview of recent enhancements, including reservoir routing and continuous simulations, to the MODRAT model will be presented. The training will also include the debris production and flow bulking calculators in WMS.




  5. Advanced Topics in Surface-Water Modeling with SMS
    Orem, Utah USA | December 2-5, 2008
    This four-day workshop will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to apply numerical models in a wide range of coastal modeling applications. This course is will provide instruction in using the newly released SMS v10.0 for modeling of coastal circulation, tides, waves, wave-current interaction, sediment transport, and morphology change. A step-by-step approach will be used providing instruction and examples covering the modeling process from regional to project scale. Models covered include CMS-Flow, CMS-Wave, PTM, BOUSS-2D, CGWAVE, STWAVE, and ADCIRC. An introduction to the newly released Particle Tracking Model (PTM) will also be included...
