The Layer Confining Beds dialog, accessed from the Global Options/Basic Package dialog, allows you to select which layers will have a confining bed below them. The last layer in the grid may not have a confining bed.
Confining beds are most common in older models where the user was trying to conserve memory in solving the groundwater model. In general, it is recommended that you explicitly model all of the layers in the system instead of using confining beds. This feature is supported in GMS to make it possible for users to read in older models.
In the spreadsheet, the user may turn on the confining bed option for any of the layers except the last layer in the grid.
The Confining Bed Elevations button brings up the array editor that allows the user to edit the elevation of each layer.
