Hi,
What is the best way to add a series of new wells into a model with an existing mesh so that they are located on new nodes matching the well's 'true' coordinates? The mesh has already been used extensively in its current form, and has many complex boundary conditions and property distributions. Unfortunately it is far too coarse in the vicinity of the new well field we are about to add, so we need to find a way to adapt the current mesh.
One option could be to manually refine the mesh around images of the well locations on an imported map, then use the move node function + F2 to force the node to be equal to the exact well location. However, we would rather not move nodes as this will slightly alter the z-elevations within the adjacent elements.
Is there a way that I can import a well as a new node and force the program to refine the element in which it would be located? Or is there another way to do this?
We have FEFLOW 5.4 and 6.0
Thanks,
SB
