SIMULATION

Defines the simulation type.

Required Cards:

SIMULATION

Opens the SIMULATION block.

SIMULATION_TYPE <string>

Specifies the type of simulation. Options for <string> include: SUBSURFACE, GEOMECHANICS_SUBSURFACE.

PROCESS_MODELS

Opens the PROCESS_MODELS block and lists the process models that are used in the simulation. PROCESS_MODEL options include:

SUBSURFACE_FLOW

SUBSURFACE_TRANSPORT

AUXILIARY

GEOMECHANICS_SUBSURFACE

UFD_BIOSPHERE

UFD_DECAY

WASTE_FORM

WIPP_SOURCE_SINK

MATERIAL_TRANSFORM

Optional Cards:

CHECKPOINT

Opens a block for specifying checkpointing options.

RESTART

Opens a block for specifying restart options.
