It is often necessary to import an MT3DMS simulation that was not generated by GMS. Since GMS uses the standard MT3DMS file format, this is not a problem in most cases. However, there are a few steps and precautions that should be taken. | It is often necessary to import an MT3DMS simulation that was not generated by GMS.

GMS uses the standard MT3DMS file formats described in the MT3DMS documentation (Zheng, 1998). The files | GMS uses the standard MT3DMS file formats described in the MT3DMS documentation (Zheng, 1998). The files being imported must match these formats exactly. If the files were generated for a version of MT3DMS that uses a different set of file formats, the files will need to be edited before they can be successfully imported to GMS. | ||
===CON File=== | ===CON File=== | ||
The source code of MT3DMS was changed to create a *.con file instead of the default *.ucn file. GMS can read either the *.con or *.ucn file. The *.con file is written in the [[GMS:Dataset_Files#Binary_Dataset_Files|GMS binary dataset format]]. | The source code of MT3DMS was changed to create a *.con concentration file instead of the default *.ucn file. GMS can read either the *.con or *.ucn file. The *.con file is written in the [[GMS:Dataset_Files#Binary_Dataset_Files|GMS binary dataset format]]. Both can be imported without an MT3DMS super file by changing the file extension to *.hed in the properties and then creating a text file with the same name in the same folder and changing that file's extension to *.mfn. GMS can then pull in this *.mfn file using the '''Read Solution''' command in the ''MODFLOW'' menu which will pull in the concentration values as if it were an output head MODFLOW dataset (e.g. example1.con → example1.hed, then create text file example1.mfn to pull in). | ||
