Miscellaneous Options page

This is the Next >> page accessed in WizGen Basic project mode from the Included Data page or by selecting the Goto... button for Miscellaneous options from the Contents page.

The only options currently available on this page to Basic Project users are to:-
  • change the Lower limits from the default settings.

  • toggle "on" the option Do not perform calculation to just view the current input data in ViewGen



  • In Basic project mode, both the NTG Discretisation and the FSP units options are currently inoperative (greyed-out).

    The NTG Discretisation functionality will be implemented sometime in the future to select where shale is positioned within cells.

    The FSP units control is automatically locked to FSPs in metric "on" in Basic project mode, so the TGMETRIC keyword (new to TransGen 3) is automatically added to the TGDATA run file. With the TGMETRIC keyword included (i.e. activated), fault displacement, fault rock thickness and all calculated Fault Seal Potential measures are reported (both graphically & in output files) and stored internally within TransGen using metres as the unit of length, regardless of the current Units setting (Metric, Field or Lab) on the Coordinate System page.

    Lower limits

  • Unfaulted transmissibility cutoff:- sets a minimum unfaulted transmissibility any connection must have to be output. It defines the TGMINTR keyword in the TGDATA run file and follows the default value used in Eclipse for this property. This cutoff is provided to allow TransGen to match Eclipse behaviour and should only be changed in exceptional circumstances to mirror changes in the parent simulator run file.

  • Cell volume error tolerance:- this cutoff is used by TransGen as a precision limit for rejecting badly constructed cells and defines the TGVOLERR keyword in the TGDATA run file.  It is different from the Eclipse limit of minimum cell pore volumes (Eclipse MINPV keyword) which TransGen also recognises.  A cell is flagged as inactive by TransGen, if any component tetrahedra have a volume of less than minus this value or the total cell volume is less than this volume.

  • Cell pore volume cut-off:- this cutoff defines the MINPV keyword in the TGDATA run file, which is then used by TransGen to render inactive any cells which have a pore volume less than the defined threshold. This cutoff is provided to allow TransGen to match Eclipse behaviour and should only be changed from the default value (1.0e-06) to mirror changes in the simulator run file.


  • HINT:- Only change these default Lower limits either to reflect changes from the defaults in the parent Eclipse run file or in the case of Cell volume error tolerance to change the limit used to identify and exclude geometrically corrupt cells from the calculations in TransGen.


    Do not perform calculation

    By default, the Do not perform calculation option is toggled "off", i.e. Fault Seal Potential measures and Permeabilities set on the Fault Rock Properties page of WizGen will automatically be calculated when ViewGen is selected for the generated TGDATA run file.

    2. If you want to use ViewGen to just view the geometry of the current TransGen model prior to running any FSP and Transmissibility multiplier calculations, click on the button to turn the Do not perform calculation option "on".

    3. When the Miscellaneous Options page is set as required, click on the Next>> button to view/edit the Fault Rock Properties page.

    Alternatively, click on the << Back button to return to the Included Data page to view/edit the data included in the current runfile.

    Or click on the Contents button to access the Contents page to view/edit any of the current TGDATA file settings, inspect the project's TGDATA file and/or inspect the log generated by last ViewGen calculation.

    Click on Save to save any modifications made to the current TGDATA runfile.
    Click on Quit to exit from WizGen with or without saving the any changes to the TGDATA runfile.
