Trying to call gridgen executable file using below codes:

# use of gridgen   # https://github.com/modflowpy/flopy/blob/5fcf9709ec8a655106c57d55657c47b1d4987812/examples/Notebooks/flopy3_gridgen.ipynb
# setup the active domain
    from flopy.utils.gridgen import Gridgen 
# Check and make sure the data folder exists.
    
if not os.path.exists(model_ws):
        os.makedirs(model_ws)
    gridgen_ws = os.path.join(model_ws, 'gridgen')
    if not os.path.exists(gridgen_ws):
        os.makedirs(gridgen_ws)
    print('Model workspace is : {}'.format(model_ws))
    print('Gridgen workspace is : {}'.format(gridgen_ws))

 # **Getting an error while executing below code**
    g = Gridgen(dis, model_ws=gridgen_ws)

Error: raise Exception("Cannot find gridgen binary executable") Exception: Cannot find gridgen binary executable

Copied the code from: https://github.com/chenmingzhang/ewatering/blob/main/modflow_planar_2D/ewatering_mf6_jupytext.py. From line 504 to 516 & line 541. I have downloaded GRIDGEN to the indicated folder, then tried changing paths names, replacing all kinds of slashes, but can't resolve the issue. Followed this video, but there isn't much explained about gridgen So, please help..

  • Also followed this link : https://github.com/modflowpy/flopy/blob/5fcf9709ec8a655106c57d55657c47b1d4987812/examples/Notebooks/flopy3_gridgen.ipynb. At In[2] I copied the same code and got an "else" output, but at In[6] I am having same error as in post. – github.Rahul Jun 30 '22 at 13:42
  • Hello, have you unzipped the Gridgen folder? – Robin Thibaut Oct 24 '22 at 07:31
