Starting in GMS 10.5, GMS can create a basic MODFLOW 6 project. Building a MODFLOW 6 project in GMS makes use of a simulation workflow. The new simulation workflow builds the MODFLOW 6 using a different procedure than previously used in GMS. This process allows for multiple MODFLOW 6 simulations to be contained in the same project file. | |||

A 3D UGrid of the project area is required. While the project can contain multiple UGrids, only one UGrid can be attached to each MODFLOW 6 simulation. The desired UGrid will need to be linked to the MODFLOW 6 simulation. | |||

The process for doing this is similar to that of saving native text files. In the [[GMS:Global Options/Basic Package|''MODFLOW Global/Basic Package'']] dialog, there is an option to ''Save MODFLOW 6 copy''.

[[File:MF6 FlowBudget.png|thumb|350 px|The MODFLOW 6 ''Flow Budget'' dialog]] | |||
The ''Flow Budget'' dialog for MODFLOW 6 can be accessed by right-clicking on the MODFLOW 6 simulation and selecting the '''Flow Budget''' command. The dialog contains the flow budget results from the MODFLOW 6 simulation run. The dialog cannot be accessed if the solution from the simulation has not be imported into the project. | |||
The dialog will display the flow in and flow out for the sources/sinks, selected zones, and summary of the solution data. The dialog contains the following option: | |||
*''Precision'' – Sets the precision of the decimal values in the dialog. | |||
==Unsupported Features== | ==Unsupported Features== | ||
In GMS, some features of MODFLOW 6 are not yet supported or only have minimal support. These include: | |||
*'''''MODFLOW 6 features''''' | |||
**Only support for one SOLUTIONGROUP in the mfsim.nam file | |||
** ‘NONE’ for cellid in SFR PACKAGEDATA block is not supported | |||
**IPRN variable for arrays | |||
**Advanced package output files | |||
**Only the '#' character is supported for comments and not '!' or '//' | |||
*'''''GMS interface functionality''''' | |||
**Conceptual model approach for some packages | |||
**Observations coverage | |||
**Cell properties for array-based RCH and EVT packages | |||
The MODFLOW 6 export option does not function with projects that are incompatible with MODFLOW 6. Projects with unsupported features or parameters will not be successfully exported. | |||
<!--==Supported Packages==--> | |||
Not all MODFLOW packages are supported in MODFLOW 6. The following table shows the correlation between MODFLOW 6 packages and packages from previous versions of MODFLOW. | |||
