Start with a USGS Model

GMS supports building MODFLOW-USG models with multiple types of unstructured grids. To generate 3D unstructured grids with complex stratigraphy, use the following processes:

1. Convert geometry to a UGrid, selecting complex stratigraphy during conversion.
Select the Feature Objects | Map → UGrid... menu command. In the Map → UGrid dialog, enter parameters for the UGrid. Quadtree UGrids Voronoi UGrids VTK Unstructured Grids

2. Use borehole data to create a 3D UGrid.
Select the Boreholes | Horizons → UGrid… menu command. Use the Horizons to UGrid wizard.

3. Create a MODFLOW-USG model.

1. Create a MODFLOW simulation. Select the 3D grid or UGrid in the the Project Explorer. Select the MODFLOW | New SImulation... command. 2. Set up the MODFLOW Global/Basic Package options. If necessary, select the MODFLOW | Global Options... command. In the MODFLOW Global/Basic Package dialog, set all the appropriate parameters: Version Model type Run options Stress periods Packages Units LGR options Layers Arrays IBOUND Starting heads Top and bottom elevations Confining beds Porosity

4. Map to MODFLOW.
Select the conceptual model . Select Feature Objects | Map → MODFLOW . Select the appropriate options in the Map → Model dialog.

5. Run MODFLOW.
Save the project. Run MODFLOW .

1. Start with a completed MT3DMS Project.
Open a completed MT3DMS project created using either the grid approach or conceptual model approach. Alternatively, a MT3D-USGS model can be built using the same workflow as the MT3DMS model, but with MT3D-USG selected as the the model.

2. Select MT3D-USGS as the model.
Select MT3DMS| Basic Transport Package. In the Basic Transport Package dialog, select MT3D-USGS as the model.

3. Run MT3D-USGS
Select MT3D-USGS | Run MT3D-USGS… to launch the MT3D-USGS model wrapper dialog. Make certain Read solution on exit is turned on and close the MT3D-USGS model wrapper dialog.

4. Visualize the solution.

1. Change display options. 1. Set display options. Open the Display Options dialog. Set the general display options. Set general lighting options. Set display options for each module that is being used. Set contour options. Set vector options. 2. View display. Use the Rotate , Pan , and Zoom tools. Use the View menu commands found in the Display menu. Use the Frame command to center and resize the display as needed. 3. Adjust display. Display may need to be adjusted during the remainder of the project. Use the Display Options dialog and viewing tools as needed. Use the Frame command to center and resize the display as needed. 2. Change contour options. Turn on Contours in the Display Options dialog and set contour options. The "Color Fill" option is recommended for this. Look for inconsistent points (points with values much higher/lower than their neighbors or regions where no data points exist). Verify that the region being modeled is covered by the elevation/depth data and there are no holes. 3. Create a plot. 1. Start the plot wizard. Select the Display | Plot Wizard menu command. Note that some plots require an observation coverage exist in the project. 2. Select available plot type. 1. Computed vs. Observed Data plots. 1. Computed vs. Observed Data. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Computed vs. Observed Data" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 2. Computed vs. Observed Data (Weighted). Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Computed vs. Observed Data (Weighted)" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 2. Residual vs. Observed Data plots. 1. Residual vs. Observed Data. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Residual vs. Observed" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 2. Residual vs. Observed Data (Weighted). Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Residual vs. Observed (Weighted)" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 3. Parameter Sensitivity plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Parameter Sensitivity" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 4. Error vs. Simulation plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Error vs. Simulation" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 5. Error vs. Time Step plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Error vs. Time Step" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 6. Error Summary plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Error Summary" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 7. Time Series plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Time Series" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 8. Active Dataset Time Series plot. Select a dataset in Project Explorer. Select cells in the project. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Active Dataset Time Series" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 9. S/S Flow vs. Time plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "S/S Flow vs. Time" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 10. Flow Budget vs. Time plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Flow Budget vs. Time" option on the left and click Next. Specify plot options in step 2 of the Plot Wizard then click Finish. Review plot window. 11. Gage Package Value vs. Time plot. Select Display | Plot Wizard to start the Plot Wizard. Select the "Gage Package Value vs. Time" option on the left and click Next.
