WHAT’S NEW ON IBER INTRODUCTION

Iber is a two-dimensional software Iber is being enhanced day by day with the introduction of new
for the simulation of free surface calculation parameters and friendlier interfaces, in order to offer a
flow, morphodynamics and transport mayor of possibilities in the field of numerical modelling in hydraulics
processes in rivers and estuaries. and hydrology.

The interest of the Team Iber to improve and introduce new

calculation tools, as well as the feedback with the users of the software
through the website www.iberaula.com and www.ibercursos.com, has
allowed to develop the new versions of Iber.

This document shows the last changes of the latest versions of Iber.
