OUR TECHNOLOGIES
Advanced water modelling software and digital solutions
Innovation and technology have been ingrained in DHI since the beginning – and our history and foundations of testing and modelling still inspire the solutions we provide today. Our advisory services are backed by advanced technologies; our water modelling software and a range of digital solutions such as data portals, cloud-based applications and operational systems delivering real-time information and forecasts.
At the foundation of our offerings lies MIKE Powered by DHI, a range of software products that enable clients to accurately analyse, model and simulate any type of challenge in water environments. We have a 50-year track record in developing quality software. Our core numerical engines and software systems that make up our MIKE software suite today have been continuously developed and expanded for decades and used by water professionals worldwide, from single users to large, global corporations with hundreds of concurrent users.
Today, the MIKE suite is the gold standard for water modelling technology, ranging from off-the-shelf software to highly customisable IT solutions, all designed to address a diverse array of water challenges, from oceans and coastlines to rivers, reservoirs, ecology, groundwater, water distribution, wastewater and beyond. Here are examples of some of the many features:
- Urban water – Fully integrated software for water utilities and wastewater treatment plant operators to model and simulate water distribution systems, collection systems, flooding, rivers and wastewater treatment plants
- Coast and marine – 2D and 3D modelling tools used by port authorities and coast and marine engineers to analyse flow phenomena, waves, sediment dynamics, dispersion phenomena and ecological systems
- Water resources – Specialised 2D modelling tools for water authorities to understand inland water dynamics and water resources availability
- Groundwater and porous media – 2D and 3D simulation software used by mining professionals, civil engineering, geotechnical and geothermal engineers to analyse groundwater quality and quantity
- Data and operational decision-making – Integrated software enabling users across all sectors to build data management, real-time forecasting and operational control systems
The MIKE software is integrated into a range of digital solutions and data portals offered to DHI clients.
2023 product launches
In 2023, we launched new software tools in the latest MIKE 2024 release with many new features, including: The integrated water modelling platform MIKE+ was updated with several features, including an extension of the Catchment Processing tool, a new Zone Water Balance feature and a Flood Polygons tool. The groundwater modelling solution FEFLOW was expanded with an enhanced Well Manager Editor including a geothermal extension, and the marine water software suite MIKE 21/3 saw improvements in hydrodynamic and advection-dispersion calculations.

In addition to the MIKE 2024 release, DHI also introduced the MIKE Metocean Simulator (MIKE MS), improving wave modelling for offshore energy and marine infrastructure projects. Features like assisted meshing and advanced statistical methods shortened the simulation process, and integrating selected global datasets from DHI's Metocean On-Demand (MOOD) Portal eliminates the need for heavy data processing, saving time and resources for our clients and enables them to make data-driven decisions.
It’s all about knowledge building and sharing
THE ACADEMY by DHI embraces all of DHI’s global training and knowledge-sharing activities. THE ACADEMY develops and arranges training opportunities and facilitates access to research results, expert forums, networks, partnerships and technology. The common goal is to ensure that our clients are equipped to find and apply the appropriate solutions to their unique challenges and tasks.
In 2023, we arranged 363 courses and webinars with over 11,000 participants. These ranged from thematic and capacity-building workshops to training in the use of specific software tools.
THE ACADEMY is supported by more than 70 trainers worldwide. They are experienced professionals, many of whom are recognised international experts in their fields with a thorough knowledge of the local markets and regulations. Special training packages are arranged for universities and research institutions, where we also provide direct teaching services.
