AnDFN is a computer program for the modelling of groundwater flow in a discrete fracture network (DFN). The program is based on the Analytic Element Method (AEM) and is distributed as a Python package with various modules and scripts.
The documentation for AnDFN is available here.
AnDFN can be installed from PyPi.
Installation:
pip install andfn
Update:
pip install andfn --upgrade
Uninstall
pip uninstall andfn
andfn depends on a number of Python packages, which will be installed automatically when installing andfn.
To install all dependencies run:
pip install andfn[all]
A template for a simple AnDFN model and several examples are available in the examples folder (under development).
The basic theory for this program is published in:
