Case01 Column Model

 

The column model presented here is extracted from the basin model at the highlighted location in red outline. A full description of the geomechanical restoration and forward simulation for the column model is presented here. Subsequent cases will only contain description of additional data or data different to the column model.

 

Simulation runs on a single 3.6GHz AMD Processor PC for Case01 model comprising 1908 nodes, 1300 elements took:

Restoration - 1 minute.

Forward Simulation - 3 minutes.

 

Geol_002_01_03

Column Model located at Grid cell i=56, j=15 in Geol_002 Basin Model with 80 x 80 grid cells (1 cell = 1km)

 

The workflow comprise four main steps:

1Step 01 - Zmap file import and output to ParaView plot file and Abaqus input .inp file.

2Step 02 - Conversion of .inp file to suitable ParaGeo geometry (.geo and .geometry) files and data .dat file.

3Step 03 - Geomechanical restoration of the defined 3D geological structure.

4Step 04 - Forward simulation of the sedimentation process (THM modelling).

 

Each of these steps will be described in detail in their respective sections following.
