Description

After talks with @tessodk, we concluded that it currently is not so intuitive to define a steady state model MODFLOW6 in iMOD Python, as it:

  • Still requires you to define a Storage package, where transient is set to false
  • Still requires you to define a time discretization, with a start and end moment

I think we at least require some example to explain this, and possibly improve our API to ease this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current iMOD Python setup for a MODFLOW 6 steady-state model, focusing on the required Storage package and time discretization. Check existing examples for related model definitions and determine whether the work should document the current workflow or simplify the API; done means the steady-state setup is clearly explained or made more intuitive.
