Model Viewer for MODFLOW 6 Graphical User Interface 1.0.0 Software Release

Model Viewer, a graphical user interface for three-dimensional visualization of ground-water results, has been updated to support reading the results from the U.S. Geological Survey’s MODFLOW 6 program. Two examples are included. The example ex-gwf-csub-p04 illustrates the use of the new DIS6 grid format. The second example ex-gwf-disvmesh demonstrates the ability to load and display the DISV6

ModelMuse Version 5.0: Software Release

ModelMuse is a graphical user interface for several different groundwater modeling programs. ModelMuse has been updated to generate the input files for the parameter estimation software suite PEST when used with MODFLOW or SUTRA models, run PEST-based parameter estimation, and display the updated model inputs after parameter estimation. The PEST input files can also be used with PEST++ version 5 (
