After opening EE10, the user has a number of different ways to create a new model.
- The first way, click Model button on main menu toolbar, then select New Model (see Figure 1).
- The second way, click New Model button directly on main menu toolbars (see Figure 2).
- The third way, from the keyboard, press Ctrl+N.

Figure 2 Create a new model (2).
After one of these three ways is selected, the GridTool form appears. From this form, the user have four options for assigning grids.
- Import Grids from Files: this option allows user to import an existing grid file; the type of grid can be one of a number of formats such as CVLGrid or RGFGrid (if the user has multiple sub-grids for a waterbody then the Multiple grid files check box may selected). Browse to the grid file and click OK button to finish. (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
- Generate Uniform Grid: this option allows to generate a Cartesian grid. The user can define grid cell size and the number of cells (see Figure 5).
- Generate Radial Grid: this option allows to generate radial grid ( see Figure 6).
- Generate Telescoping Grid: this option allows to generate telescoping grid ( see Figure 7).
Details of how to use these options are provided in the Model Grid section.
