Loading MODFLOW-2000 GWT Data
- Click the File menu and select New.
- If changes to the previous MV document have not been saved, a dialog box is displayed
that allows you to click: Yes to save changes, or No to discard changes.
- The Model Selection dialog box is displayed. Select MODFLOW-2000 GWT from the
drop-list box, and then click OK.
- The MODFLOW-2000 GWT Data File dialog box is displayed. Specify the "name" file in the
first text box by clicking the corresponding Browse button and navigating to the
file.
- If pathlines have been calculated by MODPATH, the pathline file may be optionally entered
into the second text box by using the corresponding Browse button. Note that the pathline
file must be in the same folder as the "name" file. If pathlines were not calculated, leave
the text box blank.
- If the model has generated binary (unformatted) output data, the specify
the type of binary data from the drop-list box.
If no binary data are generated, ignore this step.
- Click OK.
- The Data Selection dialog box is displayed. From the
drop-list boxes, select the time for the initial display. (Note that the numbers in parentheses indicate the stress period,
time step, and particle move.) Then click OK.
After the
model data are loaded, the opening display will be a bounding box
viewed from overhead (from +z axis toward -z direction) at the selected time in
Step 8 above.
Concentrations at the selected time are used to set the color bar as follows:
- Red represents the maximum concentration.
- Blue represents the minimum concentration.
- However, if concentrations are uniform over the grid,
then red represents c+1, and blue represents c-1, where c is the uniform
concentration.
If velocity data are available, then velocity vectors
are scaled so that, for the selected time, the length of the vector with the
highest magnitude is approximately one-tenth the diagonal distance across the
bounding box.
