GMS:Exporting Pathlines

MODPATH pathlines can be exported from GMS in a few different ways:

Capture Zones to Arcs

The MODPATH | Capture Zones → Arcs command will convert the capture zone outline to feature arcs, creating a separate coverage for each well. Coverages can be exported as a shapefile or converted to CAD data. Capture zones are defined using the "Delineate by well" and "Delineate by zone code" options in the MODPATH Display Options dialog.

Pathlines -> Arcs

The MODPATH | Pathlines -> Arcs command works similar to the MODPATH | Capture Zones -> Arcs but instead of converting the capture zone boundary, all of the pathlines in the capture zone are converted.

Starting Locations -> 3D Scatter Points

Starting locations can be converted to 3D scatter points and vice versa. If the MODPATH | Starting Locations -> 3D Scatter Points menu command is selected, a new 3D scatter point set will be created from each particle set that is visible. If the command is executed by right-clicking on a particle set in the Project Explorer, a new 3D scatter point set will be created from only that particle set.

Tab delimited file

Pathlines can be exported by right-clicking on a particle set in the Project Explorer and selecting the Export option. This saves the pathline geometry to a tab-delimited text file that can be imported directly into Excel:

Spreadsheet report

You can bring up a spreadsheet report showing the pathline XYZ data in GMS. See MODPATH Particle Sets, Spreadsheet Report.
