MODFLOW is divided into a series of components called "packages." Each package performs a specific task. The input for each package is generally contained in a separate file. The MODFLOW packages supported by GMS are listed in the following tables.

The MODFLOW packages to be used in the MODFLOW simulation are specified in the Packages dialog. This dialog is accessed in the Global Options\Basic Package dialog. Some of the packages are always required for a simulation and some are optional. One of the flow model packages and one of the solver packages must be selected. Each of the boundary condition/source/sink packages is optional.

For any package not currently supported in GMS, the file associated with that package will be ignored when the model is imported. However, GMS keeps track of unsupported packages it encounters when reading the name file and, when the project is saved, GMS lists the unsupported packages in the name file and copies the unsupported package files from the old directory to the new directory.

The MODFLOW Packages dialog.

After specifying packages for a MODFLOW simulation, the package parameters for each package can be reached through the MODFLOW menu; or by right-clicking on the package icon MODFLOW Package Icon.svg in the Project Explorer and selecting the Properties command.

Global Options & Output

Abbrev. Name Package/File Name USGS Description Always Req'd? Extension
MFN Name file [1] The MODFLOW name file. GMS uses "mfn" as the extension. Yes *.mfn
BAS6 Basic Package [2] Used to specify the grid dimensions, the computational time steps, and an array identifying which packages are to be used. Yes *.ba6

Flow Packages

Interfaces to four different flow packages are provided in GMS: the block centered flow (BCF), the layer property flow (LPF), the hydrogeologic unit flow (HUF), and the upstream weighting (UPW) packages. One of these four packages must be selected in the Packages dialog.
