Geometry Distribution ‎Conclusions

 

If possible, edit the CAD file so that it does not include geometry features that needlessly extend the bounding box, in particular:

 

1. Pipe work and risers.

2. Small boxes, buildings or construction lines far away from the main geometry where the fire zone is located.

3. Roads, or other features.

 

• Note that this is normally not a problem for offshore projects, except when risers or flares are included as part of the geometry

• Even then, this guidance is more relevant to onshore projects as shown in the Distribution Comparison section.

• It is good practice to crop geometry before performing your fire and gas mapping analyses.

• Cropping geometries not only puts less stress on the graphics and memory cards but allows for faster computation times.

 

It is good practice to crop your geometry to have a single fire zone per project (.d3d file).

 

 

When you have finished viewing the results close the project.
