Hello all,

I'm trying to model an area with two layers and applying different Kx values in different zones, using enclosed shape files. When I turn on the color grid for Kx from Data Visualization, despite using different shapes and Kx values, I only see one color that is enclosed by only one shape file across the model, vertically and horizontally (Screenshot 2). This happens when the grid type is in DISV. When I change back to structured grid, everything is displayed properly (Screenshot 1). 

I wonder if there's some issue with ModelMuse, or I'm missing something. I checked the same model and setting in another computer, the issue still persists. 

Note: I use ModelMuse ver. 5.4.0.0 and ModFlow-6.

Screenshot 1: Structured Grid, everything is displayed properly.

Screenshot 2: DISV Grid, Kx color grid not shown properly.

Have you tried using "Data|Show Grid or Mesh Values" to determine why some cells are getting values different from what you intend?

Thanks for the reply, Richard. Yes, I tried displaying via Mesh Values too but still the issue persists. Screenshots below:


Structured Grid, mesh values shown as intended.

DISV Grid, unexpected mesh value display.

Thank you so much, Richard. By checking the "enclosed" box only the issue is solved. Previously I checked both "enclosed" and "intersected". Now, the color grid displays the expected values in both grid formats, DISV and Structured.

Best,
Hadi
