User:Jcreer/GMS:Save to MODFLOW 6

The USGS has a program called mf5to6 that converts MODFLOW 2005, LGR, NWT for use with MODFLOW 6. This program can not read all working models. Sometimes the name file must be adjusted to put certain MODFLOW packages before other packages. The author of the program has retired from the USGS and limited resources suggest that this program will not be maintained like the rest of the MODFLOW 6 code base.

Aquaveo has integrated the save MODFLOW 6 feature into the library that used to save native text. Unlike mf5to6, this utility converts MODFLOW 2000, 2005, NWT, USG, and USG-Transport models. Currently, it does not convert LGR.

Not all MODFLOW Packages are supported in MODFLOW 6. The following table shows the correlation between MODFLOW 6 packages and packages from previous versions of MODFLOW.
