Mark Bentley Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 How would you go about displaying the head contours from a MODFLOW simulation in 3D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMS User Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I simply convert heads to 3d scatter data set and map it to active tin.1.select heads in modflow, select 3d grid, grid menu, grid -> 3d to scatter points2.create tin from your coverage defining model boundary. 3.select scatter points and interpolate to tin (edit z magnification to enlarge z values).I also export the 3d scatter points to txt data, edit them in spreadsheet and contour them in Surfer.

Alan Lemon Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 If you want to see a 3D surface of the water table you can do what the previous post suggests. You can also make a matching 2D grid (Grid | Grid -> 2D Grid) and then convert the head data set to a 2D data set (Grid | 3D Data -> 2D Data). Another option in 3D is to create isosurfaces (you can think of these as 3D contours). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
