HFB Package loading issue

[John1205]

Hello I am loading the USGS groundwater built by a GSFLOW, of which MODFLOW is used. In this model, HFB package cannot be successfully loaded by using NAM file. I tried to load using the Load function (hfb = flopy.modflow.ModflowHfb.load('SRPgsf_AddAdjHFBcorr_041513_Copy.hfb', ml)). The error messages are below. Please see the attached files for the details.

HFB files.txt

hfb = flopy.modflow.ModflowHfb.load('SRPgsf_AddAdjHFBcorr_041513_Copy.hfb', ml)

This looks like a dreaded parameter issue. Not sure we have ever tested loading of an hfb package with parameters. We'll have to leave this issue open until someone has a chance to look at it. Any parameter fans want to take a look?

@langevin-usgs, @John1205

I can take a look at the parameter issue. We have a lot of older models (including the SRP model) that were setup with parameters that I could test the code against.

@jlarsen-usgs Thanks for figuring out the SRP model. I have a couple of issues loading the SRP model in Flopy, such as the SRF, HFB, HOB, and Wel packages. I am glad you have original model and run tests over your end. Thanks.

@jlarsen-usgs @langevin-usgs SRF package in the SRF domain has been solved. HFB issue is still open.

Thanks for your work, @langevin-usgs @jlarsen-usgs I have modified the code for the HFB package. However, it is still not working on my end.

Hi @John1205,

are you using the most recent version of the develop branch?
