Description

*.IMF

section 9.2

iMOD-MetaFile (ASCII):
File containing information to display selected maps including legend and topographical overlays.

*.IDF

section 9.5

iMOD Data-File (BINARY):
Raster file, containing information on a raster with evenly or non-evenly distributed rows and columns. Format is specific for iMOD and developed to handle large sized data sets in a time-efficient way. Besides geographical information, IDF-files can handle meta-data as well (such as descriptive information).

*.MDF

section 9.6

iMOD Multi-Data-File (ASCII):
This file contains several references to IDF-files. Whenever IDF will be grouped they will be collected into a MDF-file.

*.IPF

*.TXT
*.DAT

section 9.7

iMOD Point-File (ASCII):
File containing the information on points. An IPF-file can direct to several *.TXT files that contain timevariant information (such as timeseries) or vertical descriptions (such as drilling logs or cone penetration test logs).

*.IFF

section 9.8

iMOD Flow-File (ASCII):
File containing the information that result after computing flow-lines within iMOD. It describes mainly lines in 3D-coordinates with their age and velocity.

*.ISG

*.ISP (BINARY)
*.ISD# (BINARY)
*.ISC# (BINARY)
*.IST# (BINARY)
*.ISQ# (BINARY)

section 9.9

iMOD Segment-File (ASCII):
File containing the information to describe a line/segment for river modeling. An ISG-file directs to an ISP-file (containing the actual coordinates of the segment), an ISD#-file (containing timevariant information on e.g. waterlevels), an ISC#-file (containing information on the cross-section of the segments) and *.IST# (containing timevariant information on e.g. waterlevels at weirs and/or water structures)

*.GEN

*.DAT

section 9.11

(both ASCII):
ESRI Generate File that described line elements, e.g. lines, polygons (closed lines). For polygons, *.DAT can be included that contain information for polygons. iMOD has its own GEN file type which is a BINARY format of a combination of the conventional GEN and DAT file.

*.CSV

section 9.13

Comma Seperated Values file. It stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format.

*.ASC

section 9.14

An ASCII format based ESRI grid, also known as an ARC/INFO ASCII GRID. (A binary format is widely used within Esri programs, such as ArcGIS.) The ASCII format is used as an exchange, or export format, due to the simple and portable ASCII file structure.

*.LEG

section 9.16

iMOD Legend File (ASCII):
File containing information on classes and colours used by iMOD to display an IDF, IPF, IFF and/or GEN.

*.CLR

section 9.17

iMOD Colour File (ASCII):
File containing the initial colour used by iMOD

*.DLF

section 9.18

File containing color information to display boreholes

*.CRD

*.*

section 9.19

iMOD Coordinate File (ASCII):
File that directs to other files depending on the zoom levels.

*.ISD

section 9.20

An ISD-file contains information about the location of startpoints used in the calculation of pathlines from model output.

*.SOL

section 9.21

iMOD SOLid project file (ASCII):
File containing the layer definitions of a solid

*.SPF

section 9.22

A SPF-file describes the variation in the top and bottom elevation along a cross-sectional line.

*.SES

section 9.23

File describing the operations that need to be carried out by ISG Edit.

*.TIM

section 9.4

A time step configuration file.

*.PRJ

section 5.5

iMOD Project File (ASCII):
File containing the characteristics of files used in a model simulation.

*.RUN

chapter 10

iMOD Runfile (ASCII):
File used to run a model simulation with iMODFLOW. An iMOD Runfile may be generated from an iMOD Project File

*.INI

section 7.10.1,
section 7.11.1

iMOD Initialization File (ASCII):
File containing specific information for particular parts of iMOD, such as the ScenarioTool and the QuickScanTool. The syntax is comparable to the *.INI-files of Windows.

*.MSK

section 5.1

iMOD Mask-File (BINARY):
File contains coordinates of a rectangular area that can be loaded into iMOD to zoom to that particular area.

*.ISD

section 7.13
