Over various iterations the software is about 20 years old and compiles a large amount of functionality, interfaces and numerical solvers. OpenGeoSys (formerly Rockflow) is an open-source programme for the simulation of (coupled) thermal, hydrological, mechanical and chemical processes. Existing functionality is explained and typical workflows are detailed step by step.

Special thanks to Lars Bilke and Thomas Fischer and everyone else helping with the development of the software.ģ Contents 1 Introduction User Interface Components OGS Download and Installation Source Code Availability Working with the Data Explorer Loading data Data Types Native File Formats Import File Formats Writing Data Native Files Export to Other Formats Data Visualisation Data Views Highlighting Object from the Data View Render Window Render Window Options Visualization Pipeline Removing Data Data Manipulation Manipulating Geometrical Data Mapping Geometry Time Series and Stratigraphic Data to Observation Sites Generating and Modifying Meshes Creating Meshes from Geometry Creating Meshes from Raster Files Converting Meshes to Geometry Extracting the surface of a meshĤ 3.3.5 Mapping of Meshes based on DEMs Adding Layers of Fixed Size Analyse Mesh Quality Changing Material Groups Removing Duplicate or Unused Mesh Nodes Removing Mesh Elements Modelling Data Creating Processes Creating FEM Conditions Changing FEM Conditions Visualisation Visualisation Properties General Visualisation Options Modification and Export Options Applying Filters for Visualisation Example Workflows Creating a Hydrogeological Subsurface Mesh Input Data Creating a 2D Surface Mesh Creating and Mapping Subsurface Layers Quality Assurance Visualisation of Results Index 57 Further Reading 59ĥ Chapter 1 Introduction This manual has been written to give a quick overview over the functionality of the OpenGeoSys DataExplorer.
