3.2.1. Create Model Input File
The file blk3cell.inp defines the block model (conductivity/susceptibility/active). In this input file the user specifies the locations, dimensions and values for a set of blocks. All undefined cells within the mesh are set to the background value. The format for this file is as follows:
Line # |
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|---|
1 |
\(\sigma_b\) |
background value |
2 |
\(N\) |
number of blocks |
3 |
\(x_1^{(1)} \;\; x_2^{(1)} \;\; y_1^{(1)} \;\; y_2^{(1)} \;\; z_1^{(1)} \;\; z_2^{(1)} \;\; m^{(1)}\) |
Block 1 |
4 |
\(x_1^{(2)} \;\; x_2^{(2)} \;\; y_1^{(2)} \;\; y_2^{(2)} \;\; z_1^{(2)} \;\; z_2^{(2)} \;\; m^{(2)}\) |
Block 2 |
\(\vdots\) |
\(\vdots\) |
\(\vdots\) |
\(x_1^{(N)} \;\; x_2^{(N)} \;\; y_1^{(N)} \;\; y_2^{(N)} \;\; z_1^{(N)} \;\; z_2^{(N)} \;\; m^{(N)}\) |
Block N |
where superscript \((i)\) for \(i=1,2,...,N\) refers to a particular block. \(x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2,z_1\) and \(z_2\) define the nodes of each block and \(m\) defines conductivity/susceptibility value.
