The modeling workflows in VMOD Flex are data driven. This means that you first need to load or create the appropriate data objects in order to use these at a particular step in the workflow. See the following table for some common examples:
If you have... |
First you should.. |
Then you can.. |
---|---|---|
River locations in a shapefile |
Import these as Polyline data objects |
Select this data object when creating a river boundary condition |
Geological layers in a Surfer .GRD or ASCII GRD |
Import these as Surface data objects |
Select these data objects when defining horizons |
Air photo with river location |
Import this as a Map image Then Create a new Polyline data object Digitize the polyline in a 2D Viewer |
Select this new polyline data object when creating a river boundary condition |
XYZ points for geological contacts |
Import these as Points data objects Then "Create Surfaces" from these data objects |
Select these surfaces when defining horizons or numerical model layers |
Raster Grid of Kx or Recharge data (from Surfer, ESRI .GRD) |
Import these as surface data objects |
Select these data objects when defining properties or Recharge boundary conditions |
Visual MODFLOW project or USGS MODFLOW files |
Select the Numerical model workflow after creating a project |
Select these files when prompted to Import Model. Learn more... |
