Welcome to the documentation of the GeoDMS.
Use the sidebar to navigate to the relevant sections of the documentation.

The GeoDMS is a software framework for (spatial) modelling, used for:

• Land Use modelling
• Accessibility modelling
• Energy modelling
• Visualisation and projection of target groups

features

The GeoDMS has added value in:

• Fast calculations and calculations with large datasets (grid, vector and attribute data)
• Scenario analyses, comparisons between multiple alternatives
• Modelling with (geographic data): scripting, repeatability, transparency and quality control
• Discrete allocation under capacity restrictions, accessibility and network assignments
• High resolution mapping

sections

Tools to process the BAG can be downloaded and are documented here. The GeoDMS academy is available to help you learn how to use the GeoDMS.
