Template:Version GMS 8.4

The following is a start at a list of the more significant changes that will be introduced in GMS 8.4.

  1. MODFLOW Gage package
    • Full support for the MODFLOW gage package.
  2. PEST null space Monte Carlo
    • Push-of-a-button support for PEST null space Monte Carlo makes calibration faster and easier.
  3. Measure tool
    • The static tool palette gets a new tool for quickly and easily measuring distances.
  4. Selected items
    • Locate Selections: This new commmand in the Edit menu causes an animated rectangle to zoom in around whatever is currently selected.
    • Zoom To Selections: This new commmand in the Display menu causes the screen to be framed around whatever is currently selected.
  5. "Streamflow Out" of each reach in separate CCF file
    • The ISTCB2 flag in the SFR package allows for streamflow out of each reach to be saved. This data was moved to a separate compact budget file so that it doesn't get included with the flow budget since it doesn't affect the aquifer.
  6. Projection files saved and imported
    • A projection file (.prj) is saved whenever a geometric object (TIN, mesh, borhole etc) is exported to a file. GMS will also look for a corresponding .prj file whenever a file is opened if the current projection is local. If one is found, it is opened and the current projection is set to the information in the file. This is a precursor to full project-on-the-fly which is in the works.
  7. Online dynamic images
    • Choose from several online images, maps, and elevation data to include as background images. The images update automatically while panning and zooming.
    • Create a static image from the dynamic image to save with the project
  8. Raster import and interpolation
    • DEMs (multiple formats) and GeoTIFFs containing elevation data (such as those created from USGS NED data online maps) can be imported and interpolated directly to TINs, 2D scatter points, 2D grids and 2D meshes without the need to convert to 2D scatter points.
