GMS:3D Grid Commands

The Grid menu become available when the 3D Grid module is active. The menu has one submenu; the Convert To submenu. Below is a list of commands available in the Grid menu.

• Create Grid...

  Brings up the Create Finite Difference Grid dialog.

• Merge Cells ||
• Redistribute Layers... ||
• Named Layer Ranges...

  Brings up the dialog better organize materials in multiple layers.

• Find Cell...

  User may find a cell based on "Cell ID" or "IJK" coordinates.

• Find Node...

  User may find a node based on "Cell ID" or "IJK" coordinates.

• Iso-surface Options...

  Brings up the Iso-surface Options dialog.

• Iso-surface Volumes...

  Brings up the Iso-surface Volumes dialog.

• Grid → 3D Scatter Points

  Creates a scatter point set with a point on the center of each cell with the value of the cell.

• Grid → 3D Mesh

  Creates a mesh typically from the cell centered values in the grid for the different layers. The first dialog allows the user to choose between the cell centers or the cell corners to create the mesh. A disclaimer is given that data values are given at the cell center and that data sets will not be converted.

• Grid → 2D Grid

  Creates a flat grid from the 3D grid dimensions at an elevation given by the user.

• MODFLOW Layers → 2D Scatter Points...

  Converts all MODFLOW Layers that have values into scatter point sets.

• Layer Contours → Arcs

  Converts layer contours into arcs that can be manipulated as drawing objects.

• 3D data → 2D data

  Converts the 3D data to 2D data according to a user defined option (average, highest active value, maximum, minimum, sum, and value from k-layer) to get a single value from the multiple layers.

• New Material Set

  Creates a new material set in the project explorer.
