ISIS Free
Halcrow have developed ISIS Free so that it offers an integrated 1D and 2D modelling software package. ISIS Free has all the same features as ISIS Professional and ISIS 2D which enable you to confidently apply it to smaller river modelling projects and to tackle different types of hydraulic conditions (i.e. flood risk assessments, flood mapping and design projects), and then seamlessly move to ISIS Professional or ISIS 2D should your project grow beyond the 250 1D nodes and 2,500 2D cells restriction.

Key benefits of ISIS Free
- it’s FREE
- install it on as many computers as you like as its use is not limited
- undertake both steady and unsteady calculations
- use ISIS Mapper to build hydraulic models, analysis results, and visualise model outputs
- use the full range of structure (including logical rules)
- full use of hydrology units (including FEH, ReFH, USSCS)
- model floodplain flows through either 1D or 2D flow simulations
- seamlessly upgrade to ISIS Professional as a project grows
Users can sign up to an annual support and maintenance contract to gain direct access the ISIS support team and the ‘isisuser’ support community.
Should your project grow to need integrated 1D – 2D modelling, sediment transport modelling or water quality modelling then users can upgrade to ISIS Professional with the appropriate add-on modules.
