Many thanks for the recent update of PetraSim 2025-2. 

I tried the new feature of Import Cell Data, but failed with the following error when I tried to implort material data.

Error: 4 Material is undefined within Lookup Table.

I have a CSV file containing X,Y,Z,Material columns. In the Material columns, the data have values from 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.

In PetraSim, I defined 4 materials with material code of 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.

I think I set them correctly, but there can be mistake somewhere.

Does the error message suggest that there is a problem in material definition in the Petrasim data? 

Or do I completely misunderstand somehting?

It would be nice if someone can help to fix the error.

Thank you in advance,

Nori

Is TOUGHREACT / EOS5 able to simulate the process of serpentization that can lead to the production of natural hydrogen?

I know that EOS5 is intended for transporting hydrogen in the aquatic environment, but I wonder if it is possible to simulate hydrogen generation in situ.

Kind regards,

Maciej

P.S. I also posted the same question on the TOUGH forum, but it only had a few views, so I hope I'll get an answer here

We are experiencing a problem with Petrasim 2016.

we are trying to set-up a model in which we would like to assign different temperature gradient to the layers.

As soon as we click on Layer > edit layers > initial conditions > temperature > function, the software crashes.

the java error we get is the following:

We understand this is a Java related problem, but we don't know how to manage it.

Java software installed is: Java RE Version 8 Update 401

We need to use the software for an ongoing project.

Any solutions?

I am working on TOUGH3 (ECO2N) using PetraSim to solve the injection of CO2 in Heterogeneous model, and I want to print k-red (permeability reduction) and PER_MOD (permeability modifier) in output file. 

Earlier, I used TOUGH2 using PetraSim, which able to print both parameters (k-red & PER_MOD) on its default setting. Now I am shifting to TOUGH3 using PetraSim. I enabled the OUTPU tab and Its on default settings. But its not printing k-red & PER_MOD.

I tried some modifications as suggested on internet by some users. But I am not getting correct solution. 

Thanking You 

I see "X per m^2", "Y per m^2", and "Z per m^2" are in a list of vector values in 3D Result view in PetraSim. I tried but failed to find explanation for these values in PetraSim and TOUGH manuals. It would be helpful if anyone can explain me or give me a hint to find out their meaning.

Thank you in advance,

Norihiro

I am solving the TOUGH exercise (ECO2M Example: CO2 Injection Well) on PetraSim. After successfully running Tough v2.1. I am unable to view the results (3D Results).  The error tab shows that "Could not load results: Results file not found". 

Here is the complete scenario presented step by step. (Respective Screenshots  attached with serial number):

1. New model created (TOUGH v2.1 and ECO2M)

2. Model required user-supplied simulator EXEs (A information tab opened)

3. A folder (TOUGH2_v21 created) in the relevant directory 

4. ECO2M .exe file pasted in above mention the above-mentioned folder

5. Tough2 run and simulation completed

6. When I clicked on 3D results, an error showed that "Could not load results: Results file not found"

7.  I checked the project folder and there are no .csv (Excel) files exist. 

All other EOS with Tough2.0 generating .cvs files and showing all 3D results but ECO2M with TOUGH_v2.1 not generating any .csv file in project folder and not showing 3D results. 

I request you, if youhave any solution to this error, please help. I would be very thankful.

I am currently working on a CO2 sequestration simulation in ToughReact using PetraSim. During this process, I encountered an issue concerning the simulation files, particularly runlog.out and flow.out. Unfortunately, there were no output files, and the error was not clearly explained.

The simulation itself failed to run and displayed a window stating: "Simulation halted prematurely. See: runlog.out and flow.out."

However, when attempting to access the runlog.out and flow.out files by clicking on them, nothing opens.

I have included screenshots below for your reference.

Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Sani

I´m wotking on a model with 300 cells and so far not including any chemichal transport/reactions.

Applying the permeability factor and disabling MINC --> all is good

Enabling the MINC method and not applying the perm modifier -> all is good

Applying both -> it´s and endless list of "CANNOT FIND PARAMETRES AT ELEMENT" ERRORS and the model simply doesn't run.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Please I am new user of PetraSim and would like to know how to show the gas pressure and liquid pressure versus time for the results. I know how to print specific grid. But, the flof excel file shows only a pressure without specifying the phase. Can you please help with that.

Kind Regards,

Abdelrazik Elfar

I have access to the flow.out file, but a runlog.out file is not created.

Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong?

BR Mette Lise

"Could not save to (path~~) Cause: IOEXception: Could not write ~~. Check permissions and try again"

"Could not open file: (path~~) Cause: EOFException"

Actually, I recently upgraded my C: (changing SSD). Maybe because of this? But when I check the status of license, it's Licensed.

And what is strange is, existing sim files have no problem in opening.

Any solution to this?

I am working on a simulation on CO2 sequestration in ToughReact using PetraSim. I faced the problem with simulation files, especially runlog.out and flow.out. If I go to the Cell History Plot and 3D results, I can see some graphs and change of parameters in 3D as attached.

However, the simulation itself does not run and it shows the window with following: "Simulation halted prematurely. See: runlog.out and flow.out". 

When I click on the runlog.out file, it shows a warning in the notebook file. However when I click on the flow.out file, it does not open anything.

All the screenshots are attached below.

Hope for your help. Thank you.

The picture below is the initial water and boundary water information in my model.

Please tell me know how to make it.

I am looking for more clarity on the definition of brine in EOS7.  In the TOUGH2 user's guide V2, it states that, "The brine is modeled as NaCl solution, while the non-condensible gas is air, although the treatment could be adapted, with minor modifications, to other brines and gases." (Sec. 6.6, pg. 40). 

1. What exactly does it mean NaCl solution? (for example 90% NaCl and 10% freshwater)

2. I want to model the flow of brines of different origins, how can I trace these two different origins brines (e.g. flows, mixing, transport etc)?

            Petrasims seems to only allow a tracer to only one brine (the EOS7 brine, which I am not sure it's true definition and if it is possible to modify and split into separate brines). 

I am creating a TOUGH2 model with 40 rock properties. In order to adjust my model, I am interested to update these 40 rock properties based on an equation I have created.

I wonder if there is a way to do update these rock properties, without having to do it manually each time, since it is too long.

One solution could be to load  a "model.dat" file with updated rock properties. However,  I noticed that a new "model.dat" file is created during each new run, thus I seems not possible with this solution.

Do you have any idea how it could be done?

Thank you in advance for your answer/help

Thanks

I choose EOS9 because I want to know the rainwater infiltration process.

However, actually, I have no idea how to set the CO2 partial pressure.

How to keep a fixed CO2 partial pressure if I want to inject rainwater from model top?

How to set a CO2 partial pressure in the soil?

I am new user of PetraSim software, I just started and I hope that my question is not silly. 

After I create the conceptual model I need to create several cross sections at different directions. Is this tool available in PetraSim GUI? 

Thank you
