Back to MODFLOW Tutorial Table of Contents.
The exercises in this tutorial were designed for MODFLOW-96 but have been converted for use with MODFLOW-2000.
If you do not already have MODFLOW-2000 installed, download MODFLOW-2000 from http://water.usgs.gov/nrp/gwsoftware/modflow2000/modflow2000.html. Be sure to get one of the compiled versions for PC. You do not need the source code unless you have a FORTRAN compiler and intend to recompile MODFLOW.
MODFLOW-2000 comes in a self-extracting file. Double click on the
file and enter C: in the edit box.
The self-extracting file will extract mf2k.exe into c:\mf2k1_8\bin. If that directory does not exist, it will be created during the extraction. Other files such as sample data sets will also be extracted from the self-extracting file into c:\mf2k1_8 or it's subdirectories.
The executable version of MODFLOW-2000 (mf2k.exe) is assumed to be located in a directory with the pathname c:\mf2k1_8\bin; the full pathname of the executable for MODFLOW-2000 is assumed to be c:\mf2k1_8\bin\mf2k.exe. If the executable version of MODFLOW-2000 is located in another directory, you may select the correct location when exporting the model input files.You may use a different versions of MODFLOW-96 and MODFLOW-2000 with the MODFLOW PIE so long as your version of MODFLOW-96 or MODFLOW-2000 is fully compatable with the USGS version of MODFLOW-96 or MODFLOW-2000.
Some commercial versions of MODFLOW may be modified versions of MODFLOW-88 and thus would be incompatible with the MODFLOW GUI.
