Geomechanics Director

Altair's Geomechanics Director (GeoD) is a solver agnostic environment for building and analyzing geo-scientific simulation. GeoD simplifies the model building and result interpretation process for the geoscientist. It increases efficiency and accelerates the creation of geoscience models, thereby allowing analysts to invest their time in interpreting and decision-making, rather than time consuming model building process. GeoD has two modules, namely GeoD-Pre and GeoD-Post.

GeoD-Pre provides the following high-level functionalities:
  • Import geometries like tsurface, tsolid, etc.
  • Clean up and fix bad geometries.
  • Intersect horizons and faults.
  • Create and organize enclosed elements.
  • Generate meshes or solid elements including tetra, hexa, penta, etcetera..
  • Export meshed model into Solid Model and solver formats with configuration for submission to simulator of choice.
GeoD-Post provides the following functionalities:
  • Effective stress calculation and stress-based metrics.
  • Capability to derive new results that the conventional solver cannot output.
  • Ability to map results from 3D to 3D, 2D and 1D elements.
  • XY plotting for variations of stresses, pore pressure and other results on the wells.
  • Automated capability to export scalar, vector and tensor results to ASCII format.
  • Ability to store and propagate results in the form of h3d file.
