Step02 Geometry Create

 

In the present workflow step the .inp file containing the mesh will be run to obtain the ParaGeo geometry.

 

The data file for generation of the geometry is in: Geol_003\Case01\Step02_Hex_Geometry\Data. It consists on the Geol_003_Case01_Step02_geom.inp file which is an edited version of the Geol_003_Case01_Step01_abaq.inp file output during the Zmap import in the previous step. The edits are described and highlighted below .

The required edits to the .inp file in order to obtain a HEX meshed geometry that can be later converted to a TET meshed geometry are:

 

1.The conversion type must be set to TYPE=GEOMETRY to enable later HEX to TET conversion

 

2.The ouput file name defined in PARAGEO FILE has been edited for convenience to "Geol_003_Case01_Step02_geom_hex".

 

3.The line *CONVERSION OPTIONS, LINE SPLIT=NO must be added to the data file when generating ParaGeo geometry from HEX meshes with the TYPE=GEOMETRY in order to avid generation of individual lines for each individual HEX cell edge.

 

4.At the bottom of the .inp file the line with the *SPATIAL_GRID keyword needs to be removed (such line is only required for HEX workflow)

 

The rest of the data is not discussed here

 

The Geol_003_Case01_Step_02_geom.inp is run in ParaGeo to perform the conversion and obtain the results.

 

 

Results

 

The results for the present workflow steps are provided in Geol_003\Case01\Step02_Hex_Geometry\Results

 

The key results comprise:

 

1.Geol_003_Case01_Step02_geom_hex.geo file containing the geometry and hex mesh in ParaGeo format

2.Geol_003_Case01_Step02_geom_hex.geometry containing the generated Group_data for the 10 formations and 26 Geometry_set data structures.
