OpenFLUID

Tools for modeling various complex phenomena have been one of the powerful side-effects of the digital revolution, albeit less visible due to their highly technical nature.
These utilities have allowed engineers and scientists to seek ever increasing improvements to their designs and innovations.
OpenFLUID is one such toolkit that can be used to model flux changes in landscape systems accurately.
Among possible uses, one can mention hydrology and topology studies, as well as urban charting and road building.
Any new development site can employ it to generate precise landscape usage statistics and it can be put to other uses, as long as one defines the spatial domain, the flux model and the discrete events involved.
The program can be run both in command line mode and with a graphical user interface.
There is no significant difference between these two modes and the same models can be generated with either method.
That being said, the GUI-based version is evidently more user-friendly and newcomers are well-recommended to test it before moving on to the command line component.
The utility builds models based on multiple input parameters, including simulators, generators, unit classes, and observers.
If opting for the GUI-based builder, users also have the option to preview results, including the model maps.
These serve as visual previews of the output models and coupled model graphical views can also be exported to PNG and SVG formats.
The modeler comes with three built-in samples that can be thoroughly tested to assess the power of the simulator and an ample manual, complete with a detailed wiki are available to ensure users obtain adequate results.System requirementsCMake (for creating new simulators)
