The Map Type drop-down menu allows the user to select from four background maps: TERRAIN (default
setting); SATELLITE; ROADMAP; and HYBRID (satellite display with roads/names overlaid).
Once changes in the text box and/or the drop-down menus have been made, apply them by clicking on the
‘Search’ button. An example is shown below.

2.4 Simulation Tools
The Simulation Tools are used for executing a conceptual model created in the MDWA.
Clicking the red ‘SIMULATE’ button initiates the process of the solving the groundwater
equations for the domain created by the user. The ‘Forward’ and ‘Backward’ buttons are
used to run a transient simulation forward or backward in time, respectively. The ‘Pause’
button pauses a transient simulation after solving the current time-step. The ‘Forward’,
‘Backward’, and ‘Pause’ buttons may also be used during particle tracking applications of a steady-state
groundwater solution.
More details related to model simulation are provided in Section 5.1 and elsewhere in this Manual.
