PetraSim v2022.3.1003
New features/bug fixes in the 2022.3.1003 release include additional support for TOUGH3 along with other new features. Unlike the TOUGH2 simulator that is still packaged with PetraSim, TOUGH3 is not included and must be purchased through Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
New Features/Improvements
- TOUGH3 simulations can now be run through the interface using TOUGH3 executables purchased through LBL (previous versions of PetraSim required that TOUGH3 simulations be run through a command line outside of the interface).
- During a TOUGH3 simulation run, the user has the option of creating new input files based on updates to the SIM file, or using the existing input files. This allows the user to update INFILEs created by PetraSim, and then run the simulation using the edited input files.
- TOUGH3 COFT, FOFT and GOFT data can now be displayed in the PetraSim interface through the Cell History, Connection and Sink/Source Plots.
- A new TOUGH3 CSV Convertor tool is now installed with PetraSim and is used to convert TOUGH3 output to a format compatible with PetraSim.
- The File | Load Cell Flow Rates tool, which is used to load cell-based sink/source data using an ASCII file, now works with files that reference either the Cell Name and Cell ID (previous versions of PetraSim required that Cell Names be used).
- A new “cornerpoint” CSV file is created by PetraSim when SIM files are saved or run. These includes mesh geometry that can be used to transfer PetraSim meshes to other programs, such as Amarile’s RE-Studio. Cornerpoint files are only created for rectangular meshes. This feature is disabled for polygonal and radial meshes.
- The interface has been updated with numerous notes indicating when a feature is specific to TOUGH2, and cannot be used for TOUGH3.
- The Edit Cell Data dialog has been updated to show the X and Y spacing for rectangular meshes.
Bug Fixes
- Connection plots have been re-instated for all simulator modes (these were inadvertently disabled in PetraSim v2022.1).
Housekeeping
- The PetraSim Manual installed with the program has been updated to include new features and functionality.
PetraSim v2022.1.0301
New features/bug fixes in the 2022.1.0301 release include a number of small bug fixes, as well as enhanced support for TOUGH3 and TOUGHREACT v3.32. Unlike the TOUGH2 and TOUGHREACT v1.2 simulators that are still packaged with PetraSim, TOUGH3 and TOUGHREACT v3.32 and are not included and must be purchased through Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
New Features/Improvements
- A new CSV Conversion tool has been created for display of TOUGHREACT V3.32 results. This allows users to select multiple TecPlot format output files and convert them to the mesh.csv and react.csv files visualized by PetraSim.
- The names of output files for TOUGHREACT v3.32 simulations have been changed to have a .tec extensions. This indicates that they are written in a TecPlot format.
- TOUGHREACT v3.32 time.out files are converted to foft.csv files for display as Cell History Plots.
- The Cell Connection Plot option has been removed from the interface for TOUGHREACT v3.32 SIM files.
- A new option to write a TOUGH3 MOMOP block to the input file has been added to the Analysis|Solution Controls menu.
- The option to write a TOUGH3 INFILE has been added to the File menu.
- Numerous improvements have been made to how the Cancel and Apply buttons work. These are global changes that have been made throughout the program.
- Reminders have been added to the IRP and CRP windows for TMVOC and ECO2M TOUGH3 users. 3-phase curves can be included in the input file using the “custom” curve options.
Bug Fixes
- The program no longer requires that the conn.csv file be present for result display.
- Custom IRP values of 13 and up are now written correctly to ECO2M input files. This is especially useful for customers using TOUGH3, where new 3-phase IRP options are available.
Housekeeping
- HydrateResSim is no longer supported and removed from the New Model Dialog.
- Help menu links to the Simulator Manuals and Online help now access the RockWare website.
- Numerous references to TOUGHREACT v3.0 have been changed to TOUGHREACT v3.32.
- Many of the PetraSim Example Problems and Tutorials have been updated on the RockWare website.
