Description |
Application and Experiment Type Definition |
Usage |
Application_data NUM=ival where ival is the data structure number |
Description |
Overview The Application_data data structure defines the control data for the inversion procedure comprising: •The application platform for the simulations (e.g. ParaGeo, etc) •The experiment type; i.e. the type of inversion to be performed (e.g. Material, Boundary). •The optimisation algorithm to be used. This is currently limited to the Nearest Neighbour Algorithm (NA).
Note that the inversion code "Parageoinv" is designed to be independent of the application code "Parageo" used to perform the simulations.
|
 | Application The application platform name |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Application is used to define the code/application platform that will be used to perform the simulations within the inversion procedure. Valid options are: •"Parageo" - The Parageo geomechanical analysis tool
Notes The inversion code "Parageoinv" is designed to be independent of the application code "Parageo".
|
| Experiment The experimental configuration |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Experiment is used to define the type of inversion (or optimisation) to be performed for the application platform defined by Application. Valid options are: "ParaGeo" Applications •"Material" - Perform inversion of material properties. •"Boundary" - Perform inversion of boundary conditions (currently limited to boundary displacements).
|
| Inversion_algorithm The inversion algorithm |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Defines the inversion algorithm to be used for the optimisation procedure. Valid options are: •"NAInverse" - Nearest Neighbour Algorithm (Sambridge,1999a,1999b).

| Executable_directory Directory containing ParaGeo executable |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Executable_directory defines the directory path of the "ParaGeo" executable to be used for the inversion simulations (Maximum 256 characters). If not set, the default PARAGEOHOME environment variable directory path will be used.
Notes •Executable_directory allows the executable in a different directory other than the PARAGEOHOME environment variable path to be used. •If defined, the executable must be located within a directory path appended with "\x64", however, the directory path is defined without the "\x64". e.g. if the executable is located in "c:\parageo\x64", then Executable_directory should be defined as just "c:\parageo".
|
| Executable_name Name of executable |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Executable_name defines the name of the ParaGeo executable to be used for the inversion simulations. By default, if not defined, the executable name is "Parageo".
Notes •Executable_name allows users to define which executable to use if, for example, the Parageo directory contains multiple Parageo versions with different names.
|
| Number_processors Number of processors for parallel runs |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Defines the number of processors to be used for the parallel runs.
