I have a 3-D model using version 5.3 which I use to construct 3-D pathlines. Here is the sequence of menus/dialogs:
3D Options
Pathline ...
This starts the 3D Pathline Dialog box where the following options are selected:
Start on 2D slice
Backward
Steady
Multiple pathlines around well
Start new pathlines ...
Upon selecting the well and drawing the pathline, I am presented a new option on the 3D pathline controller dialog box:
2D projections ....
Pressing this brings up a new dialog, 2D Projections. I select
Vertical plane defined by
Segment (selecting a predefine line segment
Show ...
FEFLOW shows the pathlines projected onto the vertical slice. Returning to the 2D Projections dialog, I press
Save curves for diagram ....
This allows me to save all drawn pathlines a series of POW functions.
The question is: "What are the units of these pathlines?" They do not appear to be in global coordinates. Could they be in local coordinates? Or possibly a coordinate system related to the drawing?
