Can I establish curved fractures mesh ? #43

Closed Beniuy closed 1 year ago

Beniuy commented 1 year ago

In the examples, I have learned several examples about plane fractures. I wonder if DFN can establish curved fractures and conduct numerical simulation to calculate water pressure ? Could you give me some advice on it ? Thanks!

No, fractures are planar objects. They cannot be curved. You could do an approximation of a curved surface with planes, but there is no workflow for that currently in the software

Thanks for your prompt advice. Is the existing code still applicable to user-defined curved surface with planes? I mean just setting the input file about fractures without inserting new codes.

Yes, but it would be complicated From: Xu Yue @.**@.>> Date: Friday, Jan 06, 2023 at 6:09 PM To: lanl/dfnWorks @.**@.>> Cc: Hyman, Jeffrey De'Haven @.**@.>>, Comment @.**@.>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [lanl/dfnWorks] Can I establish curved fractures mesh ? (Issue #43)

Thanks a lot!
