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.
