Modeling PDE Using gOcad

@inproceedings{RUNKJRM3,
 abstract = { The possibilities of GOCAD for modeling Partial Differential Equations (PDE)
are investigated. When modelling PDE applied to geological problems, several steps
have been identified: (1) the description ofthe geometry involving the building of the
surfacic model, and the volumic model, (2) the discretization of the PDE, and the
solving ofthe Iinear system, (3) the visualisation of the results. GOCAD appears to
be weil adapted to the geometrical representation of the 3D objects, especially using
3DGRID and TSolid. However, it appears that several other higher level objects
have to be defined to allow an integration of the modeler and solver with GOCAD .
Among others things, it is suggested to use a Medium object Iinked to a medium
interface, a Property object Iinked to a property interface, and other basic tools
such as element object.The functionalities concerning these higher level objects
have been developed in a separate package, cailed TherMass, fully compatible with
GOCAD output or input files. },
