Mapping

Mapping allows the transfer results onto 3D, 2D,1D or 0D elements that were initially not part of the simulation.

Uses include populating a different 3D discretization (for example, a reservoir model), populating faults not included in the simulation, populating well paths for log based analyses and populating points such as leak-off test and seismic event locations for model calibration.
  1. Select the Mapping tool from the Select GeoD Tool dropdown list.
    Figure 1.
  2. Click on the file browser button adjacent to the Load Model field and browse and select the demo-with-wells-faults.inp file and click Open.
  3. Click on the file browser button adjacent to the Load Results field and browse and select the demo-eff-geo.h3d file and click Open.
  4. Click Apply.
    The model and result files are loaded in the HyperView window.
    Figure 2.
  5. Click Next to move to the next step in the process.
  6. Select FindElastoplasticEquilibrium subcase check box from the Subcase table.
    Figure 3.
    Note: Once you select the subcase, all the other sections is activated.
  7. Select Increment 0 and Increment 8 simulation from the Simulation table.
    Figure 4.
  8. By default, the S-Global-Stress components IP-Effective Geo (where Geo indicates that the sign convention has been changed to geological I.e, compression positive) is selected in the Derive Results Based On table.
    Figure 5.
    Note: Along with the default selected stress, the user can select any of the stresses or all of the stresses depending upon on the requirement.
  9. Select the required results from the Results to Propagate table to propagate into the new h3d file.
    Figure 6.
    Note: Uncheck the results that are not required to be propagated into the new h3d file.
  10. Click Next to move to the next step in the process.
  11. Click the Components button under the Select Components section.
    Figure 7.
    Extended Entity Selection window opens.
    Figure 8.
  12. Select the component by any method in the Extended Entity Selection window.
  13. Click the Displayed button adjacent to the Components button.
    The components is highlighted in the graphics area.
  14. After selecting the components, click Add to "source" group.
    The components are assigned to the source group.
    Note: The source elements are the original 3D elements that have the results.
  15. After selecting the components, click Add to "target" group.
    The components are assigned to the target group.
    Note: The target elements can be 3D, 2D or 1D elements.
  16. After assigning the components to their respective groups, click Element Centroids radio button under the Map To section.
    The results are mapped to the Element Centroids
    Figure 9.
  17. After defining the required inputs, click the file browser button in the Output file text field.
    A file selection window opens.
  18. Browse and select the destination folder and click Save.
  19. Click Generate H3D.
    An information message is displayed.
    Figure 10.
    Note: H3D file is generated using HV Trans result translator.
  20. Once the H3D file is generated, a confirmation window opens.
    Figure 11.
  21. After the completion of the process, load the mapped h3d results files into HyperView window.
