Numeric Model Development
Grid Generation
mView has a complete set of tools for generating 2D and 3D finite difference and finite element grids. Model specific coordinate systems can be defined and grid layers generated based on ISM surfaces or on other criteria such as thickness, absolute elevation, etc.
Property Assignment
Grid properties can be set using a variety of methods:
- by grid layer;
- by elevation;
- by location inside/outside XY polygons; and,
- by specified element/node indexes.
Discrete Fracture Networks
mView provides support for delineating discrete fracture features on a rectangular model grid. Given a three-dimensional polygon representation of actual fractures, mView will calculate the element faces that optimally represent the fractures.
Data Indexes
mView’s data index facilities are unique. Individual element/node indexes or groups of indexes can be extracted or generated according to a wide variety of criteria. These indexes can then be used in setting model properties and boundary conditions, and in visualizations. For example, indexes intersecting surface water features from an ISM can be used to selectively set top surface boundary conditions.
Index selection capabilities include: elements/nodes intersecting polygon planes, falling inside/outside 2D polygons, within a specified distance from XY lines and selected interactively by the user. Once indexes are extracted, they can be operated on using a variety of tools, such as boolean logic and node to element conversion.
Generating Input Files
After grids have been developed and properties assigned, general model input files can be generated. Model specific input files can be generated for FRAC3DVS and MODPATH.
