Executing the Model

To execute the model, select File|Export|PHAST Input File , File|Export|MODFLOW[-version] Input Files , File|Export|SUTRA Input Files or File|Export|WellFootprint Input File . A Save dialog box will appear in which the user is prompted to save either the PHAST transport data file, the MODFLOW name file, the MODFLOW-LGR control file, the SUTRA input file, or the WellFootprint input file. An Execute model checkbox will appear near the lower left corner of the dialog box. If it is checked, the model will be executed after the input files have been created. For MODFLOW models, there is also an edit box for recording a description of the model that will be included as a comment in the Basic package input file. There are also check boxes for executing MODPATH and Zonebudget models when exporting the MODFLOW model. To execute a PHAST model, the user may need to create the PHAST chemistry data file too. ModelMuse does not create the PHAST chemistry data file. When executing a MODFLOW model, the listing file will be opened in Notepad when the model has finished executing.

MODPATH, Zonebudget, MT3DMS, and MT3D-USGS my be executed in a similar fashion.
