Groundwater Modeling System – GMS

What is Groundwater Modeling System – GMS?

Performance-optimized 3D visualization

GMS is the most advanced software system available to perform groundwater simulations in a three-dimensional environment.

• Interact with real 3D models
• OpenGL graphics optimized for better hardware rendering
• Create photo-realistic renderings
• Generate animations for PowerPoint or web presentations
• Drape images on the model and control the opacity
• Annotations - Add arrows to the north, scale bars, reference images, company logos, and more

Import a variety of data formats and images

Models require data from several different sources. That's why GMS was created to easily import various types of files:

• Scanning images including georeference and projection support
• Topographic maps and elevation data
• Hole data, including stratigraphy and geophysical data
• Native MODFLOW Files
• MODFLOW files from Visual MODFLOW, Groundwater Vistas and PM Win
• Web data services such as TerraServer
• ArcGIS geodatabases e shapefiles
• CAD files, including the formats .dwg, .dgn, and .dxf
• Worldwide projection support including Cartesian and geographic systems
• File import wizard for delimited text files and spreadsheets

Advanced subsurface characterization

From cross-section editing to advanced probability statistics, GMS offers unmatched subsurface modeling tools.

• Generate iso-surfaces from 3D data to visualize plumes
• Cut cross sections anywhere via 3D data
• Geoestatística 2D e 3D - Kriging, IDW e Natural Neighbour
• Robust and fast algorithms to create solids from horizons

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1 or Windows 10
• RAM: 4 GB (8 GB or more, recommended)
• CPU: GMS software is CPU intensive. Some models and utilities integrated with GMS can leverage multiple processor cores simultaneously. The fastest CPU that your budget allows is recommended.
• Graphics Card: For all display features to be enabled, OpenGL 1.5 or higher must be supported. The use of a dedicated graphics card is highly recommended. Integrated graphics cards are often problematic.
• Monitor resolution: 1920 x 1080 or higher
