Add vertices to model_ds about nlmod HOT 9 CLOSED

Wouldn't it be better to depend on the plotting functions of flopy? Thus via #40 provide a nice way to get back from model_ds to the flopy environment. In that case, this issue can be closed.

I think a lot of flopy's plotting utilities also accept a modelgrid object? So another method would be to build the modelgrid from model_ds, and pass that onto the plotting methods.

I think nlmod.mdims.mgrid.modelgrid_from_model_ds() can do this? And this object should have methods to obtain the vertices.

edit: wrong path to function

from nlmod.

Ah I didn't see that function. Thanks!

@dbrakenhoff That function requires gridprops to be defined. Is there already a function that generates the gridprops from model_ds?

from nlmod.

Hmm, good point. The only method that does this I think, is nlmod.mdims.mgrid.create_vertex_grid() which supports caching, but constructs a completely new grid.

Another option would be to load the mf6 grid object (the .grb file). From flopy: grb = flopy.mf6.utils.MfGrdFile("flow.disv.grb", verbose=True).

Any of these options useful?

from nlmod.

Hmm, not sure if flopy has a method to convert to go from a modelgrid object to a gridprops dictionary... Shouldn't be too complicated, but it might make more sense to convert that method to use a modelgrid object instead of the much less commonly used gridprops dictionary?

I agree, I think the modelgrid-object is a more commonly used object, that can be used to construct a disv-package or to plot model properties.

Is there a way to to save a modelgrid object to a grb-file in Flopy? It seems only MODFLOW is able to do this.

I am working on adding information from a modelgrid to a model_ds and getting a modelgrid-object from a model_ds (without needing gridprops), will add it when I am finished.
