Post-processing

Use post-processing tasks to process and evaluate results.

This tutorial enables the user to understand the process of generating h3d results file using the Post-Processing module of the Geomechanics Director. The process involves:

  • Launching GeoD-post
  • Importing the solver deck model and the results file
  • Building Consistent Effective Stress results
  • Stress Manipulation
  • Mapping Results
  • Calculating Planar Results and Planar Volumetric Results
  • To plot the well path
  • Export the well plot to a CSV
