GMS:Exporting Pathlines
MODPATH pathlines can be exported from GMS in a few different ways:
Capture Zones -> 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 will convert pathlines to feature arcs, creating a separate coverage for each well. Coverages can be exported as a shapefile or converted to CAD data.

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.
