rubyfu Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hello! I am currently using a GMS 6.5 that uses MT3DMS 5.0 for its transport package. I utilized the Transport Observation Package in MT3D and have successfully obtained the .TOB file. However, I realized that in the newer version of MT3D (5.3), you can generate .obs file at observation points and this file has much simpler format so that I can easily read in those values into MATLAB. My question is: 1) Is there a way to have MT3DMS 5.0 spew out this .obs file in GMS? 2) if not, how can I run GMS 6.5 with the newer version of MT3DMS(v5.3)?Thanks a lot!Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Lemon Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 You can try going into the Edit | Preferences command and change the location of your MT3D executable to point to the newer version of MT3D.I am not sure if this will help, but if you are interested in the concentration values over time at a particular cell in the model you can use the Active Data Set Time Series plot. You create the plot using the plot wizard. The plot updates when ever you select a new cell. You can right click on the plot and select view values and the times and concentrations come up in a spread sheet that you can copy and paste into excel or a text editor.

I will try the first thing you mentioned. What I really want to do is to read in those concentration data automatically into an data array in MATLAB (without having to copy and past to Excel)... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
