GMS Training, United Arab Emirates

The GMS team recently completed a training course in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Aquaveo would like to thank Dr. Ahmad Alzoubi, Certification and Training Manager at United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain for helping to organize the class. The course ran from January 26 to 29, 2014. Course attendees came from as far away as Sweden to attend. The course was a great success. By the end of the week attendees could use the powerful conceptual modeling tools in GMS to build and calibrate complex MODFLOW models. As usual the attendees appreciated how easy it was to use GMS to create and edit groundwater models. Thanks to all those who attended and made for a great experience in UAE.

Using Rasters with Map to MODFLOW

For some time GMS has included the capability to use TINs with the Map->MODFLOW command. The next version of GMS will also include the capability to use Rasters with the Map->MODFLOW command similar to how TINs can be used now. In the conceptual model, the user will associate the desired Raster with the Head/Elevation assigned to a point, node, arc, or polygon. When the Map->MODFLOW command is executed the Head/Elevation for the boundary condition is extracted from the Raster using the cell center where the boundary condition is applied. The figure below shows how/where the Raster can be assigned to a point/node/arc/polygon.
