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.
  1. Select the Feature Objects | Map → UGrid... menu command.
  2. 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.
  1. Select the Boreholes | Horizons → UGrid… menu command.
  2. Use the Horizons to UGrid wizard.
3. Create a MODFLOW-USG model.
1. Create a MODFLOW simulation.
  1. Select the 3D Grid Icon.svg 3D grid or UGrid Module Icon.svg UGrid in the the Project Explorer.
  2. Select the MODFLOW | New SImulation... command.
2. Set up the MODFLOW Global/Basic Package options.
  1. If necessary, select the MODFLOW | Global Options... command.
  2. In the MODFLOW Global/Basic Package dialog, set all the appropriate parameters:
  • Arrays
    • IBOUND
    • Starting heads
    • Top and bottom elevations
    • Confining beds
    • Porosity
4. Map to MODFLOW.
  1. Select the conceptual model Conceptual Model Icon.svg.
  2. Select Feature Objects | Map → MODFLOW Map to MODFLOW Macro.svg.
  3. Select the appropriate options in the Map → Model dialog.
5. Run MODFLOW.
  1. Save Save Macro.svg the project.
  2. Run MODFLOW Run MODFLOW Macro.svg.
1. Start with a completed MT3DMS Project.
  1. 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.
  1. Select MT3DMS| Basic Transport Package.
  2. In the Basic Transport Package dialog, select MT3D-USGS as the model.
3. Run MT3D-USGS
  1. Select MT3D-USGS | Run MT3D-USGS… to launch the MT3D-USGS model wrapper dialog.
  2. 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.
  1. Open the Display Options Display Options Macro.svg dialog.
  2. Set the general display options.
  3. Set general lighting options.
  4. Set display options for each module that is being used.
  5. Set contour options.
  6. Set vector options.
2. View display.
  1. Use the Rotate Rotate Tool.svg, Pan Pan Tool.svg, and Zoom Zoom Tool Icon.svg tools.
  2. Use the View menu commands found in the Display menu.
  3. Use the Frame Frame Macro.svg command to center and resize the display as needed.
3. Adjust display.
Display may need to be adjusted during the remainder of the project.
  1. Use the Display Options dialog and viewing tools as needed.
  2. Use the Frame Frame Macro.svg command to center and resize the display as needed.
2. Change contour options.
  1. Turn on Contours in the Display Options dialog and set contour options. The "Color Fill" option is recommended for this.
  2. Look for inconsistent points (points with values much higher/lower than their neighbors or regions where no data points exist).
  3. Verify that the region being modeled is covered by the elevation/depth data and there are no holes.
