Free Upgrade to version 3

Home

Dear Argus Open Numerical Environments User:: We are proud to announce the release of Argus Open Numerical Environments (Argus ONE) version 3 and are happy to offer you a free upgrade to this version.; New features and capabilities in version 3:; Version 3 features many new GUI improvements, functions, export script commands and drawing tools and capabilities. However, the most exciting development and the one that will have the most profound impact on the way you use Argus ONE, is the introduction of the new Argus ONE Plug-In Extension (PIE) technology.; What is the Argus ONE PIE technology:; Argus-PIE is an empowering technology which enables users and Developers/VARs of Argus ONE to tailor and extend the Argus technology to their special needs. The Argus-PIE technology is based on Argus Open Numerical Environments' inherent capabilities and allows developers to tap into Argus ONE's powerful tools from external codes. It was developed by Argus to allow developers to easily and quickly offer and market their advanced technologies in numerical modeling, geostatistics, 3D visualization and other areas, to the rapidly growing community of Argus ONE users as well as to their own customers.; Developing and using Argus-PIEs is accomplished without modifying the Argus ONE, which is an "Off-the-shelf" application, but rather by programming small C, C++, Fortran or JAVA functions, linking them as DLLs/Shared-Libraries, and dropping them into a special directory from which they are seamlessly linked to Argus ONE. These Plug-ins can be distributed and immediately used by any user of the Argus ONE version 3.; What will become available to you when you use version 3:; A wide choice of Plug-In Extensions (PIEs) which include:

Fully interfaced and automated numerical models for ground water modeling such as MODFLOW, SUTRA, HST3D, PTC and DSTRAM. (many more to follow)
Geostatistical PIEs such as interpolation, kriging and neural-networks.
Conversion PIEs such as unit conversions and coordinate transformation.
Automatic meshing PIEs
File format conversions
Scientific visualization packages
Mathematical and numerical libraries
Many additional utilities
Your own custom developed PIEs

Who is developing these PIEs:

Some of these packages are developed by commercial companies. Others are placed in the public domain by Argus, organizations such as the USGS and universities.

Why are PIEs free or inexpensive:

PIEs for Argus ONE are much less expensive (or free of charge) than other packages because the PIE developer draws on the strength of the Argus ONE system and does not have to develop, like other model developers, a full GIS and modeling environment for each model.

Where do you gain most by using Argus ONE and the available PIEs:

You invest once in purchasing the Argus ONE package and can subsequently use many models which are fully interfaced to it, at a fraction of the price you would have to invest in purchasing a different system for each model.
You have to essentially master only one system since all models interfaced using the PIE technology use the same Argus ONE user interface, GIS system, visualization tools and concepts.
Since all PIEs use the Argus ONE data structures, you can share your data between different models. For instance you can run SUTRA on a data structure prepared for MODFLOW and vise a versa.

Are you entitled to a free upgrade:

Yes! If you own version 2.5c or later you are entitled to a free of charge upgrade.

Why you should upgrade to version 3:

It is free.
It includes many new features and capabilities you have requested.
It supports the PIE technology and thus offers you an abundance of new tools which you can use free of charge or purchase for a reasonable price from third-party developers.
Older versions of Argus ONE are not supported anymore.

There is no need to re-register the application.
If you want to keep your older version, do not install version 3 onto the same directory where version 2.5 resides.

Compatibility issues:

Version 3 is fully backward-compatible with version 2.5.
You can open files you created with version 2.5 using version 3.
If you custom developed an export template for exporting finite difference grids you should read the first page of the supplement for version 3.
