MODFLOW-GUI is a preprocessor and postprocessor graphical-user interface for preparing MODFLOW-96, MODFLOW-2000, MODFLOW-2005, MOC3D, MODPATH, and ZONEBDGT input data and viewing model output for use within Argus Open Numerical Environments (Argus ONE).

The Argus ONE interface only works with MODFLOW-96, MODFLOW-2000, and MODFLOW-2005 and not with earlier versions of MODFLOW.

MODFLOW-GUI supports the following packages: BAS5, BAS6, BCF5, BCF6, LPF, WEL5, RIV5, DRN5, GHB5, RCH5, EVT5, SOR5, SIP5, PCG2, DE4, STR1, HFB1, HFB6, FHB1, IBS1, RES1, TLK1, LAK3, GAG, ETS1, DRT1, LMG1, HYDMOD, OBS, HOB, GBOB, DROB, RVOB, ADOB, SEN, PES, CHD, ADV2, CHFB, HUF1, LMT6, MNW1, MNW2, DAFLOW, SUB, SFR2, GMG, UZF, SWT, MOC3D/GWT, MODPATH, ZONEBDGT, MT3DMS, SEAWAT version 4, and MF2K-GWM.

The following capabilities are NOT yet supported: GFD1.

MODFLOW-GUI requires use of the proprietary software, Argus ONE.  Information on this software and a free demonstration version of Argus ONE that allows limited use of MODFLOW-GUI may be obtained from Argus Interware, Inc.
