Orthotropic_mesh_set

 

Data Structure: Orthotropic_mesh_set

Description

data structure

Usage

Orthotropic_mesh_set     NUM=ival   where ival  is the data structure number

 

Description

Overview

The Orthotropic_mesh_set data structure allows the increase in mesh density (i.e. decrease in element size) in the direction normal to the bedding plane which enables an orthotropic mesh to be achieved with high aspect ratio elements. This is done by sub-dividing the target ParaGeo group into a user-defined number of notional sub-volumes / sub-layers. Usage applications include coupled ParaGeo-IX reservoir simulations where the reservoir in the ParaGeo model needs to be represented with layered properties.
