Creating a new fluid model

The first step of the Fluid Modeling workflow (model > Fluids > Create Model) allows you to create a new fluid model, or select an existing fluid model to review or modify it. The fluid model acts as a data aggregation and storage to develop the fluid distribution in your project. Even though the fluid model is very closely linked to structural modeling, the fluid model is represented as a separate item and can be found in the JewelExplorer under Fluid Models.

Fluid models can be copied between instances of the application via drag and drop (only between instances of the application that have the same version). The drag and drop operation for a fluid model copies all assigned data, including surfaces, wells and stratigraphic, fault and structural models. See drag and drop in the JewelExplorer topic for more information.

To create a new fluid model

  1. Click Create Model in the Fluid Modeling section of the model > Fluids strip.
  2. Select Create new in the drop-down list.
  3. Type in a name for the fluid model in the adjacent field.
  4. Click Apply to create the fluid model and keep the Create Model form open, or click OK to create the model and proceed to the Assign Boundaries step.

To select an existing fluid model

  1. Click Create Model in the Fluid Modeling section of the model > Fluids strip.
  2. Select the fluid model of interest in the drop-down list.
  3. Click OK to proceed to the Assign Boundaries step.
