Using WizGen in Basic Project mode

Having selected the operating mode (i.e. Basic Project) on the Title page, WizGen leads the user through the process of making a complete TransGen run file (<Project>.TGDATA) simply by clicking on the Next >> button after completing each stage, as described below.

NOTE:- It is recommended that WizGen is used to construct/edit the TGDATA run file as hand-editing can easily lead to mistakes.

When the TGDATA run file is completed to your satisfaction, click on the ViewGen icon in the Control Menu to initiate the calculations and to display the results in the ViewGen graphics window - see section on Viewing the model and calculating output for details.

To select Basic Project mode and/or set the title of the current Project.

To specify the coordinate system defining the layout of the input data, to input the number of columns, rows and layers in the model and optionally to change the units of measurement used in the project

To choose which data files are included in the current TransGen run.

To optionally change the default cutoff limits and/or tolerances used to exclude data from the calculations
and/or to run TransGen without calculating the fault properties, e.g. to check the input data in ViewGen.

To determine how the fault-rock permeability and hence faulted transmissibility data are calculated as a function of two fault seal potential measures (Shale Gouge Ratio and/or Clay Smear Potential), displacement and fault-rock thickness.

To specify output options and destination files for the calculated faulted transmissibility data for inclusion into the parent simulator model.

To view the current contents of the TGDATA run file.

To view the Session Log generated by the last ViewGen run.

To view/edit any of the current WizGen contents, to inspect the project's TGDATA file and/or to inspect the session log generated by last TransGen calculation.
