An existing SEAWAT v4 model can be imported into GMS by opening the name file which must have a "*.nam" extension. Upon opening the name file GMS uses the name file to determine if the simulation is MODFLOW-2000, MODFLOW-2005, or a SEAWAT simulation based on the packages included. Once the import is complete, if the model includes transport packages or the VDF or VSC packages then a SEAWAT model is automatically created inside GMS. If the model only includes MODFLOW packages, then the SEAWAT model needs to be created by enabling the SEAWAT model interface by selecting SEAWAT in the Model Interfaces dialog available under the Edit menu, and then selecting New Simulation under the SEAWAT menu.
