The Temporal Discretization (TDIS) Package dialog

The Temporal Discretization (TDIS) Package dialog is accessed by double-clicking on the TDIS package under a MODFLOW 6 simulation in the Project Explorer. It contains the following sections and options:

  • Sections list – A list of sections that can be turned on or off:
    • Comments – Turn on to make the Comments section visible.
    • Options – Turn on to make the Options section visible.
    • PeriodData – Turn on to make the PeriodData section visible. This section is on by default.
  • Comments section – Enter general alphanumeric comments. Comments entered here get written at the top of the file, preceded by a '#' symbol.
  • Options section – Temporal options and settings:
    • Time units drop-down – Time unit label used in output files. Contains a drop-down menu with the following options for the type of time units:
      • "Unknown"
      • "Seconds"
      • "Minutes"
      • "Hours"
      • "Days" – The default selection.
      • "Years"
    • Start date/time – Starting date and time. Turn on to enable setting a start date/time. Included in the list file using the selected time/date. Click the Date/Time... button to bring up the Date/Time dialog. The time can also be manually entered using "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS" format. The "T" in the middle divides the date from the time.
  • PeriodData section – Contains a spreadsheet listing periods. An Row-add.svg Add Row button is found at the top rigth of the spreadsheet. Right-clicking on the row number in the spreadsheet gives a menu that allows inserting, deleting, copying, or pasting a row. The columns in the spreadsheet include:
    • PERLEN – The length of a stress period. The default value is "1.0".
    • NSTP – The number of time steps in a stress period. The default value is "1".
    • TSMULT – The multiplier for the length of successive time steps. The default value is "1.0".
    • ENDDATE – The end date for that period. This field is not directly user-editable, but will automatically change if the PERLEN value is changed.
    • STEADY-STATE GWF_Model – Turn on if the period is steady state and using the GWF Model.
