Release Notes
PetraSim is a graphical interface for TOUGH2, TOUGH2-MP, T2VOC, TMVOC, TOUGHREACT and TOUGH-Fx/HYDRATE. These simulators are recognized for their powerful simulation capabilities involving fluid flow and heat transfer in porous and fractured media. The TOUGH2 codes have been applied to problems ranging from Yucca mountain groundwater flow to multi-component environmental remediation.
PetraSim allows the analysts to focus on the model, while automatically handling the complex details of simulator input and results. The TOUGH2 versions of PetraSim include the corresponding simulation software at no extra cost.

Video Demos
Watch video demos of PetraSim. The first video demonstrates input, execution, and analysis of the 5-Spot Geothermal Production/Injection example presented in the TOUGH2 User’s Guide. The second demo illustrates how to make different meshes using layers.
Key Features
- Complete interactive 3D model creation and results display.
- Integrated results visualization (time history, iso-surface, vector, and contour plots).
- Optimized TOUGH2/T2VOC, TMVOC, and TOUGHREACT executables. All TOUGH2-based versions of PetraSim include the underlying simulation software at no extra cost.
- Helpful input visualization (e.g. relative permeability curves)
Supported Versions
The TOUGH2 version supports: EOS1, EOS2, EOS3, EOS5, EOS7, EOS7R, EOS9, EWASG, T2VOC, TMVOC, and TOUGHREACT.
The TOUGH-Fx version supports the HYDRATE module.
