The 3D surface plot shown in Figure 26 and 27 can be used to visualize model parameters and simulation results across the model domain. There are several options available for altering what appears of the plot, e.g., hiding the model mesh (grid lines), applying a log-scale for the parameter space, etc.
Use the drop-down menu next to ‘Surface’ to change the model variable being displayed. Model input parameters that can be chosen include hydraulic conductivity, aquifer thickness, and transmissivity. Model outputs that can be chosen include head (default), the x-, y- or z-direction velocity fields, or the simulated concentration distribution if you are modeling flow and transport. The color map used in the display can also be chosen from the list. After making all desired changes, click on the ReDraw button to update the 3D Surface plot.
If multiple layers exist in the model (see Section 7), use the scroll bars next to ‘GeoLayer:’ and ‘CompLayer:’ to change geological and/or computational layers, respectively. The layer being displayed in the chart can be updated by using the Layer UP and ‘Layer Down’ buttons available in the options menu.
