GeoVisage Capabilities

GeoVisage is a 3D Visualisation software application for CONNECTFLOW, NAPSAC and NAMMU.
The main capabilities of the software are as follows.

1. GeoVisage has the following general capabilities:
• A hierarchical, object-oriented tree structure for model features.
• Settings can be applied to one or more selected features or to whole branches of the hierarchy.
• The background colour can be changed.
• Coordinate axes can be displayed.
• An image can be rotated, translated and zoomed.
• It is possible to zoom in on a point in an image.
• It is possible to obtain information about a point in an image using picking.
• Images can be exported as JPEG, PNG, TIF, BMP, postscript or VRML files.
• External data formats can be imported.
2. GeoVisage can display the following NAPSAC or CONNECTFLOW model features:
• Region elements, including those defined with external file formats.
• Fracture sets.
• Wells.
• Upscaling.
• Pathlines.
• Transmissive surfaces.
• Known fractures.
• Reservoir fractures.
3. GeoVisage can display the following NAMMU or CONNECTFLOW model features:
• Rocks.
4. Each model feature can be coloured as follows:
• Fixed colour selected by the user.
• By attribute value, with ranges and colours selected by the user.
• The attribute value range can be linear, logarithmic or user defined.
• The attribute value range can be specified by the user or automatically calculated.
• The colour range can be manually entered by the user or automatically generated.
• The number of colours can be specified.
• Isosurfaces can be displayed at given attribute values.
• The transparency can be specified.
• A legend can be displayed.
• Multiple solves and multiple time steps can be handled, with the user able to choose which one to apply.
5. Each model feature can be stripped as follows:
• By layer.
• By position.
• By attribute value, with a range specified by the user.
• By random percentage.
6. Each model feature can be sliced sliced using multiple, user-defined planes.
7. Each model feature can be individually transformed as follows:
• Rotation.
• Scaling.
• Translation.
8. Each model feature can be individually lighted by varying the following:
• The amount of ambient lighting.
• The amount of diffuse lighting.
• The amount of specular lighting.
• Shading method.
9. The annotation properties of each well can be varied as follows:
• Style (bold, italic, boxed, etc.).
• Size.
• Colour.
• Transparency.
10. Clusters of fractures can be generated around a specified point or around selected wells according to their connectivity.
    The results of clustering can be displayed and saved as HTML or CSV files.
11. Calculations can be made of the flux through NAPSAC fractures intersecting one or more specified planes if NAPSAC flux data has been loaded.
    The results of the calculations are displayed and can be saved as HTML or CSV files.
12. Pathlines can be generated if NAPSAC pathline data has been loaded.
    The following pathline settings are available:
• The number of pathlines per source.
• The particle source type (spherical or planar).
• The number of particle sources.
• The definition of each particle source.
• The colouring of the pathlines (fixed or by time, flux or velocity).
• The style of the pathlines (points, lines, tubes or ribbons).
• Whether or not to colour and strip fractures according to particle density.
• Whether or not to display the sources.
• Whether or not to display a legend and its text.
• Whether or not to display the results of pathline generation.
  Results can be saved as HTML or CSV files.
