This course is right for you if:

✔️ You are a mining professional working on groundwater simulations for a consulting company, public authority, university or research institution  

✔️ You have a basic knowledge of groundwater systems as well as computer applications

✔️ You have been introduced to FEFLOW through experience or having followed the self-paced course “Getting started with groundwater modelling using FEFLOW”

✔️ You are prepared to complete a four-module instructor-led online course, supplemented by a one-hour introduction to the structure and methodology of the course, over five weeks

✔️ Your schedule allows you to allocate two hours to complete assignments for each module

Upon completion of the course, you will:

✔️ Understand the main features of FEFLOW mining applications and become familiar with its user interface

✔️ Be able to develop your own open-cast groundwater model with FEFLOW 3D unstructured meshes (including complex mining plans and geological settings)

✔️ Be able to estimate modelling results (dewatering volumes and pore pressure distributions)

✔️ Be equipped to apply FEFLOW in projects and solve challenges related to mining applications

This course includes four modules conducted via online live sessions by our qualified trainer. You will learn through a combination of instructor-led lectures, demonstration videos and quizzes, hands-on exercises and reading materials.

Throughout the course, you will have ample time to discuss tips & tricks, best practices and examples with your instructor and fellow participants.

A major part of the online sessions is allocated to group work, which is based on home assignments set by your trainer. For maximum benefits, you are strongly advised to allocate a minimum of two hours of self-study for each of the five modules. There will be no homework for the one-hour online introduction to the structure and methodology of the course.
