The vast majority of FEA and similar engineering solvers report stress results using the engineering convention whereby tensile stresses are positive. By selecting the Engineering to geological option (default: enabled) the stress results specified in the Derived results based on: field are automatically converted to geological (i.e. compression is positive) convention. GeoD uses the convention and stress parameter selected here as the basis for all derived results (i.e. those listed under Stress Manipulation).

Figure 1.

The Stress manipulation (legacy naming scheme) page shows all the internally defined parameters available within GeoD. This page allows the user to specify which of the many the parameters available are listed in the GeoD results browser within the UI. All parameters selected here are listed in the GeoD results browser. The user can change the list of available parameters at any time. It should be noted that, assuming a new session, the parameters available within the results browser are initially marked with the symbol **. The double asterisk (**) symbol indicates that the GeoD parameter is available but has not yet been used/calculated. As each GeoD parameter is selected for visualization, it is dynamically calculated then stored (cached) for future use from both GeoD and Main HyperView result tabs as well as for export.
