The DE4 package or Direct Solver is one of the solvers available for MODFLOW. It requires reading in a DE4 file. The ''MODFLOW DE4 Solver'' package dialog will show the variables in the DE4 file. Variables include:
* ''Comments (Text)'' – Allows up to 199 characters.
* ''Maximum number of iterations (ITMX)'' – Per time step. Enter 1 for no interations.
* ''Maximum number of upper equations (MXUP)'' – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual number of equations in the upper part when the package runs.
* ''Maximum number of lower equations (MXLOW)'' – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual number of equations in the lower part when the package runs.
* ''Maximum bandwidth (MXBW)'' – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual band width plus 1 when the package runs.
* ''Frequency of change of coefficients in [A]'' (IFREQ) – Affects the efficiency of solution. Can be 1,2, or 3.

The DE4 package or Direct Solver is one of the solvers available for MODFLOW. It requires reading in a DE4 file. The MODFLOW DE4 Solver package dialog will show the variables in the DE4 file. Variables include:

  • Comments (Text) – Allows up to 199 characters.
  • Maximum number of iterations (ITMX) – Per time step. Enter 1 for no interations.
  • Maximum number of upper equations (MXUP) – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual number of equations in the upper part when the package runs.
  • Maximum number of lower equations (MXLOW) – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual number of equations in the lower part when the package runs.
  • Maximum bandwidth (MXBW) – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual band width plus 1 when the package runs.
  • Frequency of change of coefficients in [A] (IFREQ) – Affects the efficiency of solution. Can be 1,2, or 3.
  • 1 = The flow equations are linear and that coefficients of simulated head for all stress terms are constant for all stress periods.
  • 2 = The flow equations are linear, but coefficients of simulated head for some stress terms may change at the start of each stress period.
  • 3 = A nonlinear flow equation is being solved, which means that some terms in [A] depend on simulated head.
  • Print flag for convergence information per time step (MUTD4) – Can be 0, 1, or 2.
  • 0 = The number of iterations in the time step and the maximum head change each iteration are printed.
  • 1 = Only the number of iterations in the time step is printed.
  • 2 = No information is printed.
  • Head change multiplier (ACCL) – Normally this value is 1. A value greater than 1 may be useful for improving the rate of convergence when using external iteration to solve nonlinear problems.
  • Head change closure criterion (HCLOSE) – Not used if not iterating, but a value must always be specified.
  • Interval for time step printing (IPRD4) – Not used if not iterating, but a value must always be specified.
