Spatial Variation

SpatVar_001 Definition of properties with spatial variation (via Grids)

Mechanical (3D)

•Case1 Base Case Description (Grid type 1)

•Case1b Base Case grid defined at cell centres

•Case2 Definition of grid type 3 (equivalent to Case1 grid)

•Case3 Definition of non-regular cells grid (Grid type 3)

•Case4 Usage of Spatial table (property dependencies)

•Case5 Spatial plan (lateral variation in properties)

•Case6 Spatial grid group (mesh)

•Case7 and 7b Non-conforming grids

•Different spatial grid types (Grid1, Grid3, Plan1, Group)

•Definition of variables at nodes/elements

•Spatial table for defining variables with dependencies on other variables

•Spatial plan data in 2D for lateral property variation

•Spatial grid group data (mesh based)

•Spatial boundary grid mapping options for points outside grid

SparVar_002 Output of Spatial Grids

Mechanical (2D)

•Case1 Base Case Description (Output of Mesh Grid)

•Case2 Output of a Regular Grid

•Case3 Definition and Output of a Reference Set

•Output of results to spatial grids with different grid formats (Group, Grid1)

•Definition of reference set data to output change in specified variables and export to spatial grids
