3D Geometric Model

3D geometric modeling has received renewed attention recently, in the context of visual scene understanding. The reservoir geometry of the Baltim fields is described by significant elements, such as thickness, depth maps, and fault planes, resulting from an interpretation based on seismic and well data. Uncertainties affect these elements throughout the entire interpretation process. They have some bearing on the geometric shape and subsequently on the gross reservoir volume (GRV) of the fields. This uncertainty on GRV also impacts volumes of hydrocarbons in place, reserves, and production profiles. Thus, the assessment of geometrical uncertainties is an essential first step in a field study for evaluation, development, and optimization purposes. Seismic data are best integrated with well and reservoir information. A 3D geometric model of the Late Messinian Abu Madi reservoirs in the time and depth domain is used to investigate the influence of the reservoir geometry on the gas entrapment. Important conceptual conclusions about the reservoir system behavior are obtained using this model. The results show that the reservoir shape influences the seismic response of the incised Abu Madi Paleovalley, making it necessary to account for 3D effects in order to obtain accurate results.

Structured Representation

A compact representation for the quantitative description of foot shape is important not only for the foot measurement and anthropometry, but also for the ergonomic design of footwear. Based on foot scanned data, a novel point-structured geometric modeling approach to the reduction of 3D point cloud and the preservation of shape information is proposed. The semantic descriptions of foot features are interpreted into logical definitions. A total of fifteen feature points are thus defined. Finally, there are only a total of 2,093 data points needed in such a point-structured representation. Based on it, it is easy to fetch not only the 1D and 2D measurements, but also the 3D feature curves of the foot shape. It can provide a compact 3D geometric model to serve as a significant database for the individuals and, thereby, becomes a useful tool in investigating the foot and manufacturing the foot related apparel and devices.

3D Geometric Model

In the design of surface micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), there is a lack of effective modeling methods to refine the geometry of a MEMS device. This paper presents a method of incremental geometric modeling and mask synthesis for surface micromachined MEMS. In this method, propagation-mapping graphs are introduced to label all the affected entities in one variation operation, according to the characteristic of surface micromachining. Based on the propagation-mapping graphs constructed from a 3D geometric model and its process model, variation propagation and mapping are used to update these models. In order to keep manufacturability of these models, four manufacturability problems caused by variation propagation are analyzed and a manufacturability maintenance method is discussed. Variation propagation and mapping achieve incremental modeling for the geometric model and process model of a MEMS device. This method enables designers to modify a MEMS device in a quick and intuitive way. Finally the method is implemented and some test results are given.

Inversion Techniques

Seismic reservoir characterization becomes challenging when reservoir thickness goes beyond the limits of seismic resolution. Geostatistical inversion techniques are being considered to overcome the resolution limitations of conventional inversion methods and to provide an intuitive understanding of subsurface uncertainty. Geostatistical inversion was applied on a highly compartmentalized area of Sapphire gas field, offshore Nile Delta, Egypt, with the aim of understanding the distribution of thin sands and their impact on reservoir connectivity. The integration of high-resolution well data with seismic partial-angle-stack volumes into geostatistical inversion has resulted in multiple elastic property realizations at the desired resolution. The multitude of inverted elastic properties are analyzed to improve reservoir characterization and reflect the inversion nonuniqueness. These property realizations are then classified into facies probability cubes and ranked based on pay sand volumes to quantify the volumetric uncertainty in static reservoir modeling. Stochastic connectivity analysis was also applied on facies models to assess the possible connected volumes. Sand connectivity analysis showed that the connected pay sand volume derived from the posterior mean of property realizations, which is analogous to deterministic inversion, is much smaller than the volumes generated by any high-frequency realization. This observation supports the role of thin interbed reservoirs in facilitating connectivity between the main sand units.

AbstractThe geometric model accuracy is crucial for product design. More complex surfaces are represented by the approximation methods. On the contrary, the approximation methods reduce the design quality. A new alternative calculation method is proposed. The new method can calculate both conical sections and more complex curves. The researcher is able to get an analytical solution and not a sequence of points with the destruction of the object semantics. The new method is based on permutation and other symmetries and should have an origin in the internal properties of the space. The classical method consists of finding transformation parameters for symmetrical conic profiles, however a new procedure for parameters of linear transformations determination was acquired by another method. The main steps of the new method are theoretically presented in the paper. Since a double result is obtained in most stages, the new calculation method is easy to verify. Geometric modeling in the AutoCAD environment is shown briefly. The new calculation method can be used for most complex curves and linear transformations. Theoretical and practical researches are required additionally.

Architectural Form

For the design of surfaces in architecture, as a rule, universal techniques developed for other technical industries are used. First of all, these are general kinematic surfaces and interpolation cubic splines for modeling complex piecewise smooth surfaces. The authors propose to use the fourth degree inerodifferential spline developed by them for problems of geometric modeling of architectural forms. For calculations and constructions on a computer, the proposed spline is not much more complicated than traditional cubic splines, since it has one additional parameter - a coefficient. However, this allows you to locally control the shape of a curve or surface during design, that is, to change the shape in individual areas without affecting other areas. The article proposes a method for constructing a geometric model of the kinematic surface of dependent sections with a fourth degree parabola as a generator. When using cubic splines as a guide, the surface is a 3 × 4 non-uniform (heterogeneous) spline. The article shows that the surface on the basis of the proposed mathematical apparatus can be composite piecewise-smooth. A particular case of surface design is considered on the example of creating a model of the surface of the facade of a residential building according to the existing concept. The algorithm can be easily programmed and added as a tool to existing CAD systems.

Arm Elevation

A three-dimensional (3D) geometric model for predicting muscle forces in the shoulder complex is proposed. The model was applied throughout the range of arm elevation in the scapular plan. In vitro testing has been performed on 13 cadaveric shoulders. The objectives were to determine homogeneous values of physiological parameters of shoulder muscles and to locate sites of muscular attachment to any bone of the shoulder complex. Muscular fiber lengths, lengths of contractile element (CE), and muscle volumes were measured, corresponding physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) were calculated, and force/length muscle relations were found. An in vivo biplanar radiography was performed on five volunteers. The photogrammetric reconstruction of bone axes and landmarks were coupled with a geometric modeling of bones and muscle sites of attachment. Muscular paths were drawn and changes in lengths during movement have been estimated. Directions of muscle forces are the same as that of muscular path at the point of attachment to bone. Magnitudes of muscular forces were found from muscle lengths coupled with force/length relations. Passive forces were directly determined contrary to active muscle forces. A resulting active muscle force is calculated from balancing weight and passive forces at each articular center. Active muscle forces were calculated by distributing the resulting force among active muscles based on the muscular PCSA values.
