| 7 | +The **Sector Model Export [BETA]** feature exports a subset of a simulation model to a standalone DATA file that can be used as input for a new simulation. It supports boundary conditions, grid refinement, model padding, and optional direct integration with an OPM Flow simulation job. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +To launch the wizard, right-click on a **3D View** and select **Export Sector Model [BETA]**. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The export is configured through a step-by-step wizard with the following pages. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +--- |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## General Settings |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Specify the name and output folder for the new sector model. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- **Sector Model Name** -- The base name (without extension) for the exported DATA file. |
| 20 | +- **Export Folder** -- The folder where the exported files will be written. Must differ from the source case folder. |
| 21 | +- **Source Information** -- Read-only display of the source case name and location on disk. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +--- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Sector Model Definition |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Select which cells to include in the export. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- **Cells to Export** -- Choose one of the following options: |
| 30 | + - **Visible Cells Box** -- IJK bounding box around currently visible cells (controlled by range and property filters in the view). |
| 31 | + - **Active Cells Box** -- IJK bounding box around all active cells in the grid. |
| 32 | + - **Visible Wells Box** -- IJK bounding box surrounding visible wells, extended by a configurable number of cells. |
| 33 | + - **Well Padding** -- Number of extra cells to add around visible wells (default: 2). |
| 34 | + - **Full Grid Box** -- The complete grid including inactive cells. |
| 35 | + - **Manual Selection** -- Enter the IJK min/max coordinates directly. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The dialog shows the **Total cells to export** to help assess the size of the sector model. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +--- |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Refinement |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Optionally refine the exported grid by subdividing cells in each direction. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- **Enable Grid Refinement** -- Check to activate refinement. |
| 46 | +- **Cell Count I, J, K** -- Number of sub-cells per original cell in each direction (range 1–10). Grid result values are not interpolated; all new sub-cells inherit the value of their parent cell. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +--- |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Boundary Conditions |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Configure how boundary conditions are defined for the sector model faces. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- **Boundary Condition Type** -- Select one of: |
| 55 | + - **OPERNUM/OPERATER** -- Uses OPERNUM and OPERATER keywords to define boundary conditions. A **PORV Multiplier** can be set to scale the pore volume at the sector model boundary (default: 1.0e6). |
| 56 | + - **BCCON/BCPROP** -- Uses BCCON and BCPROP keywords. A table of BCPROP keywords is shown, with one row per BCCON region. The number of rows is determined automatically from the maximum BCCON value found in the grid (defaulting to 6 for the six faces). |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +--- |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Keyword Adjustments |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Control which keywords from the source DATA file are excluded from the exported sector model. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +- **Keywords to Remove from Output** -- A list of keywords that will be stripped from the export. The default list contains: `ACTION`, `ACTIONX`, `ACTIONW`, `BOX`, `UDQ`. Use the **Reset to Default** button to restore this list. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +--- |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Model Padding |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Optionally extend the sector model grid in the Z direction by adding inactive padding layers above and/or below the exported cells. This can be useful to ensure that the sector model has a complete pressure column. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- **Enable Model Padding** -- Check to activate padding. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +**Upper Padding** |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- **Number of Z Layers** -- Number of padding layers to add above the model. |
| 77 | +- **Top Depth** -- Depth of the top of the uppermost padding layer. |
| 78 | +- **Porosity** -- Porosity value assigned to the upper padding layers (range 0–1). |
| 79 | +- **EQUILNUM** -- EQUILNUM region number for the upper padding layers. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +**Lower Padding** |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- **Number of Z Layers** -- Number of padding layers to add below the model. |
| 84 | +- **Bottom Depth** -- Depth of the bottom of the lowermost padding layer. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +**Grid Options** |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +- **Minimum Layer Thickness** -- Minimum thickness of each padding layer (default: 0.1). |
| 89 | +- **Fill Gaps in Z Direction** -- Fill any gaps between the model and the padding layers. |
| 90 | +- **Enforce Monotonic Z-Corners** -- Ensures that Z-corner values are monotonically increasing. |
| 91 | +- **Make Pillars Vertical** -- Forces the pillars of padding cells to be vertical. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +--- |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +## Simulation Job Settings |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Optionally create an OPM Flow simulation job from the exported sector model, and/or immediately run it. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +- **Create New Simulation Job** -- Check to add a new OPM Flow job using the exported sector model DATA file as input. |
| 100 | + - **Job Name** -- Name of the new simulation job (defaults to the sector model name). |
| 101 | + - **Working Folder** -- Folder where the simulation job will store input and output files. Must differ from the export folder and the source case folder. |
| 102 | +- **Start Simulation Job After Export** -- When checked, all existing OPM Flow jobs that use the exported sector model file as input will be started automatically after the export completes. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +See [OPM Flow Integration]({{% relref "opm-flow-integration" %}}) for more details on working with simulation jobs. |
