MODEL BUILD
Build flood models faster in a single, integrated environment
Transform the way you develop hydraulic models with advanced solvers, integrated GIS capabilities and intelligent automation in a purpose-built flood modelling platform.
Create 1D, 2D, and integrated flood models using an intuitive interface designed specifically for hydraulic modelling. Automated tools reduce repetitive tasks, accelerates data import and model setup, and simplifies the journey from schematisation to simulation and results analysis – helping you deliver your projects faster.
Integrated GIS tools
Eliminate the hassle of using third-party GIS software. Seamlessly create, read, and edit geospatial vector and raster data within one intuitive environment.
Accurate representation
With our extensive range of structures, you can precisely represent both simple and complex configurations with ease, ensuring confidence in your model schematization and the accuracy of your analysis.
Instant context
Unlock deeper insights with built-in mapping, GIS datasets, and contextual layers. Bring your models to life by integrating your own maps or connecting to services such as Bing Maps.
Guided Workflows
Select the model component (unit) you wish to add to your model and let Flood Modeller seamlessly guide you through each step with ease. Our workflows simplify even the most complex model set ups, making them effortless. No need to use command lines or memorize complex commands to build your model.
Extensive toolkit
Streamline your workflow from the get-go! Reduce manual model-building tasks with tools that handle everything from data importation to customizing hydraulic features, enabling you to focus on what truly matters.
Data integrations
Instantly access the hydrological and hydraulic data you need to build your models with confidence. Enhance your modeling with third-party application integrations, providing superior flexibility and efficiency.
Why use Flood Modeller instead of standalone GIS software?
While GIS platforms such as QGIS and ArcGIS are powerful mapping and data management tools, they weren't designed specifically for hydraulic modelling. Flood Modeller combines the GIS functionality required for model build with specialised hydraulic modelling capabilities, automated workflows and simulation tools in one environment.
Build, modify and manage your models without constantly switching between applications, importing and exporting files, or maintaining separate GIS and modelling projects.
Integrated GIS tools
Create, view and edit geospatial vector and raster data directly in Flood Modeller, removing the need for third-party GIS software for day-to-day model building tasks. Keep your data, model schematisation and analysis together in one intuitive environment.
Rapid model editing
Make changes in minutes, not hours. Easily modify geometry, structures, roughness values, and boundary conditions through intuitive visual editing tools, helping you iterate designs and test scenarios faster.
Accurate representation
Represent bridges, culverts, weirs, sluices, pumps, spillways, and other hydraulic controls using dedicated modelling units designed to accurately reflect real-world behaviour.
Model validation
Identify issues before they impact results. Built-in validation tools help detect gaps, connectivity issues, missing data, and common modelling errors, improving confidence in your model setup and reducing rework.
Guided workflows
Build models with ease using intuitive, step-by-step workflows designed for hydraulic modellers. Simply choose the unit you want to add and let Flood Modeller guide you through the process. No command lines, complex scripting, or specialist GIS expertise required.
Rich spatial context
Visualize your models with integrated mapping, background datasets and contextual layers. Connect directly to services including OpenStreetMap, Ordnance Survey and Azure Maps, or incorporate your own GIS datasets to provide better understanding and decision-making throughout your project.
Data integrations
Access the hydrological, hydraulic, and spatial datasets needed to build detailed flood models. Connect directly to trusted data sources, including FathomDEM+ terrain data, FEH Catchment Descriptors, and Environment Agency Flood Map for Planning flood zones, to support model development.
Terrain and survey processing
Convert raw data into modelling-ready inputs. Efficiently work with LiDAR data, DEMs, survey data, and geospatial datasets to create accurate model representations without relying on external software.
