To build a MODPATH model in GMS, use the following steps:

1. Start with a completed MODFLOW Project.
  1. Open a completed MODFLOW project created using either the grid approach or conceptual model approach.
2. Assign porosities.
Assign porosity using one of the following methods:
1. Assign porosity in the conceptual model.
  1. Using the Select Polygon GMS Select Polygon Tool.svg tool, right-click on polygons and select the Attribute Table command.
  2. Assign porosity in the Attribute Table dialog. (Requires Porosity be selected in the Coverage Setup dialog.)
  3. Right-click on the coverage and select the Map to | MODFLOW/MODPATH menu command.
2. Assign porosity using MODPATH.
  1. Select the MODPATH | Porosity menu command.
  2. Assign porosity in the Aquifer Layer Porosity array editor.
3. Assign through grid properties.
  1. Using the Select Cell Select 3D Cell Tool.svg tool (for either a 3D grid or UGrid), right-click on cells and select the Properties command.
  2. Enter porosity in the MODFLOW tab of the 3D Grid Cell Properties dialog or UGrid Cell Properties dialog.
3. Define starting locations
1. Automatically create particle starting locations.
  1. Select the MODPATH | Create Particles at Wells menu command.
  2. Define particles in the Generate Particles at Wells dialog.
2. Manually create particle starting locations.
  1. Using the Select Cell Select 3D Cell Tool.svg tool, right-click at the starting location cell and select the Create MODPATH Particles command.
  2. Define particles in the Generate Particles at Wells dialog.
4. Set particle set properties.
  1. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the particle set and select the Properties command.
  2. Set particle set properties in the Particle Set dialog.
5. Run MODFLOW.
  1. Save Save Macro.svg the project.
  2. Run MODFLOW Run MODFLOW Macro.svg.
6. Create and view zone codes.
1. Edit zone code through array.
  1. Select the MODPATH | Zone Code Array menu command.
  2. Use the Zone Type Array dialog to edit zone codes.
2. Edit zone code to cells.
  1. Using the Select Cell Select 3D Cell Tool.svg tool, right-click at the starting location cell and select the Properties command.
  2. Enter the MODPATH zone code in the MODFLOW tab of the 3D Grid Cell Properties dialog or UGrid Cell Properties dialog.
3. Adjust display options.
  1. Select the MODPATH | Display Options menu command.
  2. In the Display Options dialog, adjust the zone code display in the Particles tab of the 3D Grid Data or UGrid Data.
7. Visualize the solution.
1. Change display options.
1. Set display options.
  1. Open the Display Options Display Options Macro.svg dialog.
  2. Set the general display options.
  3. Set general lighting options.
  4. Set display options for each module that is being used.
  5. Set contour options.
  6. Set vector options.
2. View display.
  1. Use the Rotate Rotate Tool.svg, Pan Pan Tool.svg, and Zoom Zoom Tool Icon.svg tools.
  2. Use the View menu commands found in the Display menu.
  3. Use the Frame Frame Macro.svg command to center and resize the display as needed.
3. Adjust display.
Display may need to be adjusted during the remainder of the project.
  1. Use the Display Options dialog and viewing tools as needed.
  2. Use the Frame Frame Macro.svg command to center and resize the display as needed.
2. Change contour options.
  1. Turn on Contours in the Display Options dialog and set contour options. The "Color Fill" option is recommended for this.
  2. Look for inconsistent points (points with values much higher/lower than their neighbors or regions where no data points exist).
  3. Verify that the region being modeled is covered by the elevation/depth data and there are no holes.
3. Create a plot.
