What Does the Contaminant Transport Module Add to the GoldSim User Interface?

The Contaminant Transport Module is a program extension to the GoldSim simulation framework.  As such, it simply adds some additional features to the user interface.  The user interface components which the Contaminant Transport Module adds can be summarized as follows:

   An additional item, Contaminant Transport, is added to the context-sensitive (right-click) menu in the graphics pane (shown below), to the context-sensitive menu for Containers, and to the Model| Insert menu on the menu bar:

Note that “Fracture Set”, "CellNet Generator", “Network Path”, and “Source” only appear if you are using the RT Module.  They are not present in the CT Module.

   Pressing the CT Element button in the Element toolbar provides access to a menu for inserting a CT Module element:

Note that “Fracture Set”, "CellNet Generator", “Network Path”, and “Source” only appear if you are using the RT Module.  They are not present in the CT Module.

   When you create a new file, a Material Container is automatically placed in the Model Root.  This Container contains a Species element and the Reference Fluid (named Water).  These two elements can be moved, but cannot be deleted.

   The Species and Elements array label sets are added to the drop-down lists available when defining the output attributes for an element:

These sets of array labels are populated when you add species to your model (via a Species element).

   A Contaminant Transport tab is added to the Options dialog (accessed via Model | Options) for defining options which are specific to the Contaminant Transport Module:
