MODFLOW-USG Progress

The GMS development team has been working on implementing MODFLOW-USG since the documentation was released on May 3, 2013. We have been making good progress. One of the items related to MODFLOW-USG is the ability to work with unstructured grids. The figures below show some of the grids that we have generated with the development version of GMS. We used the same conceptual model and generated a 3D finite element mesh, a 3D structured Grid, and 3D unstructured grids.

 We will be at the MODFLOW and more 2013 conference this next week. Come by our booth to learn more about new developments in GMS with MODFLOW-USG. We will also have a couple of posters that we are presenting.
