ساخت مدل شکستگی | FracMan 8.0

نوشته شده توسط Super User. ارسال در مدل سازی زمین شناسی

Launched in 1987, FracMan® is the world’s first commercially available Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) software and has since been adopted by organizations across the infrastructure, mining, energy, power, and nuclear waste sectors.  FracMan® Version 8 brings improvements such as new DFN simulation features and enhanced model visualization.

 

 

 “In FracMan® 8, we built even further on the software’s comprehensive DFN simulation features. Users will see great improvements, combining more physics with greater detailed models,” said Mark Cottrell, Technical Director at Golder in Europe. “This all-new version provides substantial DFN advances in multiple key areas, from fracture characterization, using photogrammetry and DFN conditioning through to scalable multi-physics flow simulation, and more representative fractured rock mass geotechnical analyses.”

FracMan® users are now even better equipped to deliver outstanding characterizations, analysis and modelling work leading to better decision making in less time.

There are many new improvements

Coming to market in FracMan® 8, to help you deliver industry projects with detailed fracture network models. Many of these features are detailed in the below summary:

Flow simulation via PFLOTRAN

We’ve continued to evolve our DFN flow simulation capabilities with improvements in all elements of the workflow. Making full use of high fidelity static DFN models for flow simulation inside FracMan®:

• DFN fracture meshing

Improvements permit larger scale DFN models to be turned into finite volume/element meshing quicker and easier.

• PFLOTRAN flow simulator means

That more physics and greater detail models can be captured in the simulation of fluid flow in the subsurface. Bigger models and better physics including transport, partially saturated flow, matrix coupling and thermal coupling.

• Further improvements to the

loading and post processing of flow simulation results.

Photogrammetric fracture conditioning

A major improvement coming with FracMan® 8 is the ability to condition the stochastic DFN model to perfectly match observed fracture data. Such fracture conditioning has been available in previous versions of FracMan® for conditioning to well fracture data, however - a major improvement allows the user to condition their fracture model to photogrammetry or mapping data, for fracture intensity, size and trace length (size) information.

Grown DFN Fracture Model

A major FracMan® fracture model evolution allows the user to genetically grow DFN fractures sets chronologically to permit fracture intersections and terminations to reflect what is observed in the rock. Better, more geologically realistic DFN fracture models are available in FracMan® 8.

DFN Rockwedge Kinematics

Further improvements in the FracMan® Geotechnical engine room have been included in FracMan® 8. Improvements for bench/slope/tunnel stability analyses include:

• Geometry definition

improvements to properly differentiate between different parts of the slope.

• Improved integration of

rockbolting/shotcrete/pressure support for the rockwedge kinematics workflow.

• DFN grouting workflow for

injection of Bingham fluid (grout) fluids into the fracture network system. Evaluate fracture grouting and sealing performance, and easily optimize grout hole design.

Monte Carlo & Named Parameters

FracMan® 8 has seen significant improvements around Monte Carlo realizations. Seamlessly set up Monte Carlo based workflows for defining improved sequential workflow steps for the range of DFN fracture models, DFN analyses, and output.

Parallel Block-K Flow Based Upscaling

Impressive improvements to the DFN flow based upscaling approach come with FracMan® 8. A radical overhaul of the upscaling engine now permits high resolution DFN models on the field/site scale to be upscaled to equivalent grid properties (permeability/storage) much more efficiently. Making full use of available multi-threading and parallel simulation, flow based upscaling is now able to be used on the large scale DFN static/ dynamic models.

Language support

FracMan® now provides fully integrated language support for Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, and English.

User Interface

Building on the robust underpinnings of the FracMan® 7 workflows, the FracMan® 8 user interface is totally new. With a new ribbon layout it provides a modern way to help DFN modelling, find, understand, and use FracMan® commands efficiently and directly with a minimum number of clicks, with less need to resort to trial-and- error, and without having to refer to Help. Using a ribbon structure in FracMan® increases discoverability of features and functions, enables quicker learning of the program as a whole, and makes users feel more in control of their experience.
