OGSTools 0.3.1 Release Notes#

Overview#

0.3.1 is a maintenance release (mainly bug fixes and refactorings)

Supports Python: 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12.

This is the last release with support of Python 3.9!

OGS#

6.5.2

Feflow converter#

  • Conversion of component transport models with multiple components now possible

  • automatic creation of OGS-6 project file template,

  • bulk and boundary meshes, and

  • calculation of retardation factor from sorption coefficient.

  • detailed description for the example on the website.

Mesh: Borehole Heat Exchanger#

The tool, to generate generic BHE meshes for multiple cases with simple inputs was added after the last ogstools 0.0.3 release - see !148. The referred !159 was only for bug fixing and small extension to the main MR 148. Here are my idea for the release notes to this feature:

  • Add a tool, to generate simple ready to use BHE meshes for the HEAT-Transport-BHE Process

  • automatic calculation of mesh layering

  • support multiple soil layers, BHEs and groundwater layers

  • support a fully ‘prism’ and a semi ‘structured’ mesh

  • automatically export typical sub meshes for boundary conditions in OGS

  • detailed description of an example on the website

Function to sample properties along a user-defined polyline#

  • It accepts polylines instead of simple lines and list of properties defined using Property-type.

    Changes:

  • introduces sample_over_polyline function to meshlib

  • adds two related plots function

  • in propertylib, Scalars get default color and linestyle properties that can be used in for plotting

[meshlib] timevalue of min or max over timeseries#

  • This feature enables the visualization of when a minimum or maximum of a property happens at any point in a mesh.

  • It uses the existing MeshSeries.aggregate function which can now be called with two additional “func” arguments: “min_time” and “max_time”.

Refactorings#

  • Moved examples data to one dedicated folder

Bugfixes#

  • plotting: The streamlines in a slice of a 3D mesh are now corrected. This was due to 1) some wrong logic and 2) some floating point error when creating a Rectilineargrid to sample the values on.
