PetraSim Overview

Solve challenging subsurface flow problems with PetraSim

PetraSim is the graphical interface for the TOUGH2 family of simulators. Developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, TOUGH2 and its derivatives are recognized for their powerful simulation capabilities for fluid flow and heat transfer in porous and fractured media.

The TOUGH2 codes have been applied to problems ranging from Yucca mountain groundwater flow to multi-component environmental remediation. PetraSim makes the power of TOUGH2 accessible to modelers through an interactive 3D environment that includes mesh generation, parameter definition, and display of results. PetraSim significantly lowers the barriers to TOUGH2 use by freeing the analyst to focus on the model, while automatically handling the complex details of TOUGH2 input and output files. PetraSim includes TOUGH2, T2VOC, TMVOC, and TOUGHREACT executables.

Special Notice

When you purchase PetraSim, you must purchase the PetraSim Core module plus at least one interface.

PetraSim includes free executables for TOUGH2, T2VOC, TMVOC and TOUGHREACT. It does not include the source code for these simulators. PetraSim does not include the TETRAD or TOUGH2-FX/HYDRATE simulators. Contact sales@rockware.com if you would like information about how to purchase these simulators.

Network floating licenses, quantity discounts and academic teaching licenses available. Contact RockWare (sales@rockware.com) for more information.

The TMVOC, TOUGHREACT, TOUGH-FX/HYDRATE and TETRAD modules do not include access to the TOUGH2 code.

RockWare and Thunderhead Engineering provide standard technical support for the PetraSim interface and included simulators. For extended support beyond software problems and errors, including theoretical simulator questions and model setup, users may post to public internet forums or arrange for consulting. Detailed simulator support, including reactive transport in TOUGHREACT may require a source code license from DOE/LBNL.

PetraSim for TOUGH-FX/HYDRATE is designed to work with the April 2005 version of TOUGH-FX. Input files would need to be edited manually to work with later versions of the code.
