Interactive Groundwater

A sophisticated combined research and educational software environment for unified deterministic and stochastic groundwater modeling. Based on a set of new efficient and robust computational algorithms, the software allows simulating complex flow and transport in aquifers subject to both systematic and "randomly" varying stresses and geological and chemical heterogeneity. Interactive Groundwater was developed at Portland State University. The program was modified and extended at Michigan State University and can be found in all of the DECS public PC labs.

LabVIEW

LabVIEW, developed and published by National Instruments, is a graphical programming environment used by millions of engineers and scientists to develop sophisticated measurement, test, and control systems using intuitive graphical icons and wires that resemble a flowchart. The LabVIEW platform is scalable across multiple targets and OSs. This software is installed on all of the DECS Lab PCs and can be installed on office and lab computers by DECS.

Loop-Pro

Loop-Pro is performance optimization software created and distributed by Control Station. The Loop-Pro software can help reduce production costs and waste while increasing productivity. Loop-Pro has many features that include precise tuning of PID controllers, monitoring and analysis of controller performance, and customizable control loops. Loop-Pro is available for use in all of the DECS PC labs.

LS-DYNA

LS-DYNA is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating complex real world problems. It is optimized for shared and distributed memory Unix, Linux, and Windows based platforms.

MARC/MENTAT

Marc and Mentat combine to deliver a complete solution (pre-processing solution and post-processing solution) for implicit nonlinear FEA. Marc provides the easiest to use and most robust capabilities for contact, large strain, and multiphysics analysis available today to solve static and quasi-static nonlinear problems.

Mathcad

Mathcad is a program used for performing, documenting, and sharing mathematical designs and calculations. The easy to use interface uses standard mathematical notations. Mathcad uses an XML architecture to perform advanced and powerful calculations. Mathcad is available for use in all of the DECS public labs.

Mathematica

Mathematica is a mathematical software system developed and distributed by Wolfram Research. It is a program that provides an environment for advanced numerical calculations, data processing, plotting, and much more. Mathematica includes a large list of features for finding a solution to almost any problem. Some of the features include libraries of mathematical functions, data visualization tools, and matrix manipulation tools. Mathematica is available on the DECS PC lab computers and DECS UNIX computing servers.

MATLAB

MATLAB® is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran.

Microsoft Access

Microsoft Access is database software developed and distributed by Microsoft; it is part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Access provides an easy to use graphical interface along with a powerful database backend. This software allows for the use of many different types of databases including Access/Jet, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, and more. Access is available on all DECS PC Lab computers and can be installed by DECS on any machine for a minimal fee.

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is spreadsheet software developed and distributed by Microsoft; it is part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Excel can be used to make large spreadsheets as well as complex graphs and charts. This program has features that include many graph and chart options, advanced equations, in addition to advanced cell manipulation. Excel is available on all the DECS PC Lab computers and can be installed by DECS on any machine for a minimal fee.
