Use pre-processing tasks to prepare and export a MEM solver deck.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to import geological surfaces (horizons and
faults) from an earth modelling platform*. Clean up those surfaces so that they are
geologically and volumetrically consistent, build tetrahedral solids elements. Once
the modelling domain has been constructed and discretized into 3D elements, you will
create the required objects, such as faults (as contacts), node and element groups,
materials and loads. You will learn how to use these objects to assign and be
assigned the necessary solver cards and finally how to export the
complete solver deck.
Note: Now this tutorial will use the Abaqus (3D) template. For
other solvers, similar steps are necessary but the details vary. Contact support
for help if required.
Below are the highlights of pre-processing tasks that you will cover in the
tutorial:
Import and Classify TSurf model
Remesh horizons
Create sidewalls and enclosed volumes
Generate Tetra mesh and create contacts
Assigning materials, creating boundary conditions and load steps
