PMPATH 95/NT is a particle tracking model running within Windows 95 or
Windows NT. PMPATH retrieves groundwater models created by Processing
Modflow or prepared for MODPATH (version 3.0 and later). A
semi-analytical particle tracking scheme (Pollock, 1988) and the
simulation result files from MODFLOW are used to calculate the
groundwater paths and travel times.
PMPATH graphically shows the groundwater model along with DXF-basemaps
and different colored grid cells for indicating different boundary or
hydraulic conditions, i.e., constant head boundary, wells, rivers, etc.
Through its interactive graphical modeling environment, PMPATH allows
the user to place particles and perform particle tracking with just a
few mouse clicks. While most available particle tracking models, e.g.,
MODPATH or PATH3D, need postprocessors for the visualization of computed
paths and times data, PMPATH calculates and shows the pathlines and
travel time marks simultaneously. Moreover, PMPATH provides various
on-screen graphical options including labelled head and drawdown
contours, cross-sectional views and velocity vectors for any selected
model layer and time step. Graphics output includes DXF, HPGL and BMP
(Windows Bitmap) formats. As a native Windows 95/NT application, PMPATH
provides an extensive Windows-Help file and supports all
Windows-compatible printers and plotters. You can even preview a plot
before printing it.
