The heliospheric modulation model \helmod{} is a two dimensional treatment dealing with the helio-colatitude and radial distance from Sun and is employed to solve the transport-equation for the GCR propagation through the heliosphere down to Earth. This work presents the current version 3 of the \helmod{} model and reviews how main processes involved in GCR propagation were implemented.~The treatment includes the so-called particle drift effects –~e.g., those resulting, for instance, from the extension of the neutral current sheet inside the heliosphere and from the curvature and gradient of the IMF –, which affect the transport of particles entering the solar cavity as a function of their charge sign.~The \helmod{} model is capable to provide modulated spectra which well agree within the experimental errors with those measured by AMS-01, BESS, PAMELA and AMS-02 during the solar cycles 23 and 24.~Furthermore, the counting rate measured by Ulysses at +/- 80degree of solar latitude and 1 to 5\,AU was also found in agreement with that expected by \helmod{} code version 3.
