5.1.2 Simulation Status

After the PRJ system is selected, the Status Bar (see Section 2.2) will provide information on the current
status of the model submitted for simulation (see Table 5-1 for examples). Pay attention to the progress of
the model. If there is an issue with the simulation process, an error message will be shown (see the last row
in Table 5-1). Sometimes simply re-submitted the model for simulation will alleviate the issues (e.g., if
there is an issue reaching the IGW server). In other cases, editing/refinement if input data/files may be
necessary (e.g., if the format for user input file is not correct).

After the head/solute distribution is solved for the initial time-step, the Status Bar will read “Done:
Geo/comp …. In progress”. The resulting head (and solute distribution) will be shown within the model
display in the MDWA (see Figure 5-2 for an example). A cross-section, shown as a yellow polyline
spanning the entire model from west-east (W-E) along the central portion of the domain, is automatically
generated for visualizing vertical characteristics of the aquifer system (see Section 5.4). Customizing the
display of results is explored in the next section.
