Template:Version GMS 8.4

The following is a start at a list of the more significant changes that will be introduced in GMS 8.4.

  1. MODFLOW Gage package
    • Full support for the MODFLOW gage package.
  2. PEST null space Monte Carlo
    • Push-of-a-button support for PEST null space Monte Carlo makes calibration faster and easier.
  3. Measure tool
    • The static tool palette gets a new tool for quickly and easily measuring distances.
  4. Selected items
    • Locate Selections: This new commmand in the Edit menu causes an animated rectangle to zoom in around whatever is currently selected.
    • Zoom To Selections: This new commmand in the Display menu causes the screen to be framed around whatever is currently selected.
  5. "Streamflow Out" of each reach in separate CCF file
    • The ISTCB2 flag in the SFR package allows for streamflow out of each reach to be saved. This data was moved to a separate compact budget file so that it doesn't get included with the flow budget since it doesn't affect the aquifer.
  6. Projection files saved and imported
    • A projection file (.prj) is saved whenever a geometric object (TIN, mesh, borhole etc) is exported to a file. GMS will also look for a corresponding .prj file whenever a file is opened if the current projection is local. If one is found, it is opened and the current projection is set to the information in the file. This is a precursor to full project-on-the-fly which is in the works.
  7. Online dynamic images
    • Choose from several online images, maps, and elevation data to include as background images. The images update automatically while panning and zooming.
    • Create a static image from the dynamic image to save with the project
  8. GeoTIFF interpolation
    • GeoTIFFs can contain elevation data such as those created from USGS NED data online maps. This data can be interpolated to TINs, 2D scatter points, 2D grids and 2D meshes.
