VMOD Flex allows you to translate your conceptual model to multiple finite difference models for running and analyzing in VMOD Flex, or to one or more finite element models for running in FEFLOW. During translation, VMOD Flex automatically populates the specified grid or mesh with the defined geological formations, boundary conditions and property zone attributes, and creates the necessary input files for loading into your desired simulator.
For MODFLOW-2000/2005 and MODFLOW-USG models, a numerical modeling workflow will appear where you can view/edit the properties and boundaries on the numerical grid, then translate and run MODFLOW and view the results.
For finite element models, VMOD Flex will generate the .FEM problem file for loading into FEFLOW. (Note: FEFLOW v.5.4 or later is required for opening and running FEFLOW models)
This chapter walks you through the steps involved in translating a conceptual model to a numerical model, and includes information on the following topics:
