Solid Module

The Solid module of GMS is used to construct three-dimensional models of stratigraphy using solids. Once such a model is created, cross sections can be cut anywhere on the model and the solid model can be shaded to generate realistic images. The new "Horizons Method" of constructing solids is the most advanced tool available for creating solids quickly and accurately.

Solids are used for site characterization and visualization. Solids can also be used to define layer elevation data for MODFLOW models using the Solids -> MODFLOW command or Solids to HUF and to define a layered 3D mesh using the Solids -> Layered Mesh.
