Compare Heads or Drawdown |
|
VMOD Flex allows you to compare Heads or Drawdown between several model runs. This is useful to determining differences in pre and post pumping heads or comparing impacts to heads or drawdown when adjusting property or boundary condition parameters.
Follow the steps below:
| · | Right-click on the Heads node of any model run, and select the "Compare" option. The following dialog will appear |
There are two options available:
| · | Select a Heads from the Output tree from another model run; in this case, click on the Heads node from another model run, and click on the  button to add this to the field |
| · | Select a MODFLOW .HDS file from the hard drive, from another model. Click on the Open folder button and browse to a .HDS file on the hard drive. |
| · | Click OK. A new view will appear. The plot shows the results of subtracting the heads selected specified above from the Heads where you launched the `Compare Heads` option. |
The same option is available for Drawdown. Just launch `Compare` from the Drawdown node on the Output model tree, and choose the Drawdown from another model run, or a .DDN file from the hard disk.
Limitations:
The comparison calculation has the following assumptions: Both models must have:
| · | The same start date (as defined in the Conceptual Model settings) |
| · | The same stress periods |
| · | Spatial coverage: (XY extents) |
| · | Angle of rotation |
