GMS includes a comprehensive graphical interface to the groundwater model MODFLOW. MODFLOW is a 3D, cell-centered, finite difference, saturated flow model developed by the United States Geological Survey (McDonald & Harbaugh, 1988). MODFLOW can perform both steady state and transient analyses and has a wide variety of boundary conditions and input options.
GMS supports MODFLOW as a pre- and post-processor. The input data for MODFLOW are generated by GMS and saved to a set of files. These files are read by MODFLOW when MODFLOW is launched from the GMS menu. The output from MODFLOW is then imported to GMS for post-processing.
A special version of MODFLOW is distributed with GMS. This version of MODFLOW is the same as the version distributed by the USGS except for a few minor changes primarily related to file input including reading input data from HDF5 files. These changes are clearly marked in the code. For more information see MODFLOW with HDF5.
To learn more about using MODFLOW in GMS, please refer to the available tutorials.
More information about MODFLOW is available from the USGS.
