Argus ONE SUTRA GUI-PIE

Product Name:

SUTRA Graphical User Interface (GUI) PIE - USSG Public Domain

The SUTRA GUI-PIE is a powerful and friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for SUTRA, integrated within the Argus ONE modeling environment.

The SUTRA GUI-PIE package includes the SUTRA executable, the GUI-PIE and complete documentation.

SUTRA GUI-PIE allows the user to graphically input all GIS data, run SUTRA, and visualize the results all from within Argus ONE easy-to-use graphical workplace. SUTRA GUI-PIE installs its menus and dialogs into Argus ONE so that all tasks of setting SUTRA control parameters, running SUTRA and visualizing SUTRA output is performed from within Argus ONE.

Model:

SUTRA, "Saturated and (or) unsaturated, constant or variable-density fluid flow, and solute or energy transport (2-dimensional finite element code)" is a versatile model by Clifford I. Voss of the USGS.

GUI Developed by:

US Geological Survey (see USGS press release)

The USGS integrated SUTRA with Argus ONE using Argus' Plug-In Extension (PIE) technology.

The GUI PIE is available with documentation from the USGS site listed below or as a USGS Open-File Report 97-421 from USGS distribution centers.

Other USGS Models

See MODFLOW GUI-PIE.

To interface USGS codes using the PIE technology, USGS engineers and scientists did not have to change a single line in their codes. They develop the interfaces all on their own, thus keeping the scientific freedom to change their codes and interfaces as required.

Using the PIE technology, utility programs, geostatistical algorithms, visualization packages and many other programs which have been developed by the USGS and by others can be easily integrated as PIEs and used along side with model PIEs.
