What's new in Visual MODFLOW Flex 5.1?
Visual MODFLOW Flex brings together industry-standard codes for groundwater flow and contaminant transport, essential analysis and calibration tools, and stunning 3D visualization capabilities in a single, easy-to-use environment. Experience the new version release of Visual MODFLOW Flex 5.1.
Data Import/Export
- Surfaces created in Visual MODFLOW Flex can be exported as Surfer ASCII files (.GRD) for use in other Visual MODFLOW Flex projects and other software packages (e.g. Surfer, ArcMap, QGIS).
- Pumping Wells in Visual MODFLOW Flex numerical models can be exported as text files (.CSV) that can be easily re-imported allowing you to transfer Wells between projects.
Visualization and Settings
- Vertical exaggeration in 3D views can be manipulated by keyboard commands.
Packages, Properties, and Boundary Conditions
- Field values for Properties and Boundary Conditions are available as variables in the Field Calculator.
Grid Editing
- You can now specify which numerical model run(s) are carried over when performing grid edits.
Defects Addressed
- In some scenarios (for instance if CHD cells are specified at the very bottom of the model [such as in the Henry model]), the parallel version of SEAWAT may have convergence problems that cannot be resolved by changing solver parameters.
- SEAWAT engine run output was truncated and formatted incorrectly.
- Concentration values of -1 in the specified concentration boundary condition (indicating the species should be skipped) were incorrectly translated to the SSM file as 0.
- Error in translating diffusion arrays to the DSP package when specifying the Multidiffusion option in MT3D-MS or SEAWAT runs.
- In rare occasions, property zones were set to -1 and uneditable.
- In some cases, successive model translation times increased due to a memory leak.
- In ZoneBudget runs, Flex does not read in values for zones that are not directly adjacent to Zone 1.
- Errors thrown if user skips straight to Translate without selecting an engine.
- In some cases, changes to stress periods do not update instantly to the translation settings resulting in incorrect translated time discretization and/or output control (.OC) files, following changes.
- In some cases, PEST results will not update correctly into a new run.
- An error is shown when user clicks [...] button to change the path to Previous MODFLOW Run HDS file if the HDS file is not present.
- Hitting Apply in the Settings dialog for a concentration doesn't update the BC view properly.
