The model has only one layer so change the Number of layers to 1 and change the name of the aquifer to "Aquifer." This example uses observations as defined in MODFLOW-2005 rather than MODFLOW 6 so choose MODFLOW-2005 as the MODFLOW version. Then click the No grid button (fig. 120). (The grid will be defined using imported objects.)
