WaSiM (Richards)

Important: version 10.02.03 and higher provide netCDF support. That requires a few additional libraries (DLLs) to be installed on your system. Please download and install either the lib-package for 32-bit or the lib-package for 64-bit before using WaSiM on Windows and/or download and install the latest netCDF package from the internet. On Linux, you need to install a netCDF package as well (see development details for more information).

Note: WaSiM supports now by default Message Passing Interface (MPI). To use it, you may dowmload the Microsoft MPI-runtime from here: MSMpiSetup.zip
On Linux, you need to install openMPI according to your distribution.
