This is a top level workflow. This workflow includes all of the specific workflows needed in creating a general HydroGeoSphere project. Newer and infrequent GMS users should start here.

To build a HydroGeoSphere model in GMS, use the following steps:

1. Start GMS.
1. Start GMS, or clear existing projects in GMS.
  1. If GMS is already running, select File | New.
  2. A new project can also be started by clicking New New Macro.svg.
2. If necessary, register or update GMS.
1. Register GMS and components.
  1. Launch the GMS Registration Wizard.
  2. Follow the Registration Wizard instructions.
  3. Review the registered components in the Aquaveo License Registration dialog.
2. Update GMS.
GMS can be updated by doing any of the following:
  1. Select Download if prompted to update when starting GMS.
  2. Select Help | Check For Updates.
  3. Go directly to the GMS download page.
3. Set the display projection.
  1. Select the Edit | Units... command.
  2. In the Units dialog, set the time, mass, force, and concentration.
  3. Click the Dot dot dot button.png button and set the horizontal and vertical projection in the Display Projection dialog.
  4. If necessary, use the Horizontal Projection dialog to set a global projection.
2. Import data.
1. Gather and open image files.

Images are imported into the GIS module in GMS.

1. Open local images.
  1. Load images from local computer files using the File | Open... command.
  2. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS.
2. Import images from the web.
  1. Use the Add Online Maps Add Online Maps Icon.svg macro.
  2. Select a location in the Virtual Earth Map Locator.
  3. If a projection has not been set for the project, set a new project in the Display Projection dialog.
  4. Use the Data Service Options dialog to select a web service.
2. Gather and open geometric data files.
1. Import map data.
  1. Use the File | Open... command to import map data such as Map files, boundary ID files, or boundary XY files.
  2. Alternately, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS.
2. Import GIS data.
  1. Use the File | Open... command to import GIS data files such as Shapefiles or raster files.
  2. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS.
3. Import scatter data.
  1. Use File | Open... to open files with scatter data.
    • Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS.
  2. Use the File Import Wizard to specify how to import the data.
4. Import CAD data.
  1. Verify the CAD file type is readable by GMS before importing it. GMS can import DXF and DWG files.
  2. Use the File | Open... command to launch the Open dialog (or drag and drop) to import the CAD files.
The data should load in layers into the Project Explorer.
5. Review and set object projections.
  1. Right-click on an object in the Project Explorer and select the Projection | Projection command.
  2. Set the horizontal and vertical projection using the Object Projection dialog.
  3. To set a global projection, use the Horizontal Projection dialog.
3. Gather hydrologic data files.
  1. Gather data files for hydrologic and hydraulic data. These include data such as hydrographs, water levels, and rating curves. They will be imported when setting boundary conditions and when doing model calibration.
3. Create UGrids (both 3D and 2D).

HGS will require both a 3D UGrid and a 2D UGrid

Create a 3D UGrid in one of the following ways:
1. Create a 3D UGrid from scratch.
  1. Right-click in the Project Explorer and select New | UGrid 3D....
  2. In the New UGrid dialog, enter the information for the X-, Y-, and Z-Dimension of the grid.
2. Create a 3D UGrid from a coverage.
  1. Right-click on the desired coverage and select the Map To | UGrid command.
  2. In the Map → UGrid dialog, set the Dimension drop-down to "3D".
  3. Enter the rest of the information for the grid, including the X-, Y-, and Z-Dimension information.
4. Create a HydroGeoSphere simulation.
  1. Right-click in the Project Explorer and select the New Simulation | HydroGeoSphere command.
5. Set the HydroGeoSphere Simulation Control.
  1. Right-click on the HydroGeoSphere simulation in the Project Explorer and select the Simulation Control command.

  3. Interpolate the raster data to the 3D UGrid by right-clicking on the raster and selecting the Interpolate → UGrid command.
  4. Use the Interpolate Priority Rasters tool to define how the raster data is interpolated to the UGrid. Values from the raster will define the zones.
2. Create zones from a coverage.
