When the user starts ModelMuse, the Start-Up dialog box will appear in which the user can choose to (1) create a new model, (2) import a MODFLOW-2005 or MODFLOW-NWT model, or (3) open an existing model. If the user chooses to create a new model, the user can create a grid for the model in the Initial Grid dialog box. The user can also choose to skip creating the grid and create it later in a variety of different ways. The first time ModelMuse is started on a computer, a video will play. The video can be played again later by selecting Help|Introductory Video.
