The MODFLOW Array Editor is used throughout the MODFLOW interface to edit array based data. It includes the following features:
The array is displayed in a spreadsheet and each value can be selected and edited. Individual layers in the array are displayed one at a time. The edit fields in the spreadsheet associated with inactive cells are dimmed.
The edit field in the upper left corner of the dialog is used to switch to a different layer.
The multiplier is a value that can be specified to scale all of the values in the array.
The Constant -> Grid button prompts for a single value and assigns the value to all of the cells in the entire array.
The Constant -> Layer button prompts for a constant value which is assigned to all of the cells in the currently displayed layer.
The 3D Data Set -> Grid button brings up the Select Data Set dialog listing all of the current data sets associated with the 3D grid. The selected data set is then copied into the starting heads array. This option is typically used to load in a previously computed MODFLOW solution to use as the initial condition. The previously computed solution must be imported as a data set before selecting this option.
The 2D Data Set -> Layer button allows the user to select one of the data sets associated with a 2D grid and copy it to the current layer of the starting heads array. In order for this button to be active, a 2D grid that has the same number of rows and columns as the 3D grid must be imported or created. Such a grid can be automatically generated using the Grid -> 2D Grid command in the Grid menu. The 2D Data Set -> Layer option is typically used to load in a data set that has been created by interpolating heads from a 2D scatter point set to the 2D Grid.
The Grid -> 3D Data Set button copies values from the entire starting heads array to the 3D grid data set list.
The Layer -> 2D Data Set button copies values from the selected layer of the starting heads array to the 2D grid data set list.
