Join the Aquanty team for a 3-day intensive course which explores the complete integrated hydrologic modeling process using HydroGeoSphere (HGS). This course consists of various lectures and exercises to explore topics such as the benefits of integrated hydrologic modeling, the governing equations that control flow in an HGS model, model mesh generation and results visualization, numerical solution techniques and model convergence troubleshooting, atmospheric & winter processes, model calibration and more.
Attendees of this course will receive a temporary license of HydroGeoSphere (30-day), a temporary license of AlgoMesh (2-week), a copy of all course content including lectures (PDF) and exercises, and the opportunity to network with other HydroGeoSphere users and the software development team. In addition, attendees of the training course will be eligible for a 10% discount on HydroGeoSphere software purchases (eligible within 12-months of the training session).
Registration fee: $1,200 USD (50% discount for students)
Location: Online & in-person at Aquanty’s office (600 Weber St. N., Unit B, Waterloo, ON N2K1K4)
Date/Time: October 16-18th, from 9am - 5pm EST daily
NOTE: a minimum of 5 attendees are required for this event to take place. If the minimum attendance requirement is not met a full refund will be issued for cancellation.

Intro to AlgoMesh Training Session
Note: all event times are in eastern (EST/EDT)
Join Aquanty for a 3 hour training session focused entirely on AlgoMesh, the premier mesh generator for creating high-quality grids. AlgoMesh is the recommended solution for users who want to integrate unstructured triangular element meshes (the best option for grids which conform to real-world geometry) into their HydroGeoSphere models.
AlgoMesh offers:
UNSTRUCTURED GRIDS - Allow scaling of detail to focus modeling accuracy on areas that matter
FLEXIBILITY - Use with its built-in user interface and integrate with HydroGeoSphere to enhance your modeling capabilities.
SUPERIOR ALGORITHM - Generate meshes that yield higher accuracy and faster runtimes.
This 3-4 hour training session include a mix of presentations and interactive tutorials to learn the fundamentals of AlgoMesh, including:
The benefits of using triangular finite element meshes.
The general capabilities offered by AlgoMesh.
A review of the mesh generating algorithms that power AlgoMesh
Tips for data pre-processing and best practices when generating finite element meshes for HydroGeoSphere
A close look at the interface and how to actually make the most of AlgoMesh in your HydroGeoSphere workflows.
