A parameter is a variable that is used to control one or more other values. GMS uses parameters with [[GMS:MODFLOW|MODFLOW]] to define inputs for [[GMS:Global_Options/Basic_Package#Run Options|forward runs]] or for [[GMS:Model_Calibration|model calibration]] or for [[GMS:Stochastic_Modeling|stochastic modeling]]. | A parameter is a variable that is used to control one or more other values.

===Key | ===Key Values=== | ||
Key values are used to parameterize the MODFLOW input. Key values can be used for both the zonation and pilot points methods of defining parameters. A key value is a number that is assigned as input that marks the input values as belonging to a parameter. When selecting a key value, a number should be chosen that is not likely to occur in typical input for that parameter. | Key values are used to parameterize the MODFLOW input. Key values can be used for both the zonation and pilot points methods of defining parameters. A key value is a number that is assigned as input that marks the input values as belonging to a parameter. When selecting a key value, a number should be chosen that is not likely to occur in typical input for that parameter. In most cases, negative numbers are the best option. | ||
For example, a model may have four K zones and three recharge zones. The four K zones would be marked by assigning -100, -200, -300, and -400 to the cells in the K array for each of the four zones. Likewise, the recharge zones would be marked by assigning -500, -600, and -700 to the appropriate cells in the recharge array. | For example, a model may have four K zones and three recharge zones.

Key values can be assigned either by editing the cell array values directly in the 3D grid module or by assigning the values to a set of [[GMS:Feature_Objects|polygons or arcs]] in the [[GMS:Feature_Objects#Conceptual_Models|conceptual model]] and selecting the [[GMS:Map_to_MODFLOW|'''Map → MODFLOW''']] command. | Key values can be assigned either by editing the cell array values directly in the 3D grid module or by assigning the values to a set of [[GMS:Feature_Objects|polygons or arcs]] in the [[GMS:Feature_Objects#Conceptual_Models|conceptual model]] and selecting the [[GMS:Map_to_MODFLOW|'''Map → MODFLOW''']] command. | ||

The key value approach makes it much easier to support transient parameters and very large sets of pilot points. Also, this approach allows GMS users to use parameters with the BCF package. This feature is not available with the MODFLOW PES process. | The key value approach makes it much easier to support transient parameters and very large sets of pilot points.

The most common form of parameterization is zonation. With this approach, an array of input values is divided into zones where all of the cells in each zone share a single parameter value. This concept is illustrated in the figure below. The entire array of values is represented by three parameters. | The most common form of parameterization is zonation.

Zonation is most easily accomplished in GMS by assigning key values to polygons in the map module. It can also be accomplished by assigning key values to a selected set of cells in the 3D grid module using the [[GMS:Cell Properties|'''Cell Attributes''']] command. | Zonation is most easily accomplished in GMS by assigning key values to polygons in the map module.
