Advanced 3D Visualization Technologies for Reservoir Engineering

For application developers that require powerful and rapid integration of a 3D visualization engine for advanced reservoir engineering software tools. VSG provides leading 3D visualization technologies that deliver optimal performance and reliability for the development of your most demanding reservoir engineering applications.

Deliver State-of-the-art 3D Graphics

  • Open Inventor® by VSG is constantly tuned for improved performance by utilizing the most advanced OpenGL® features fully leveraging the power of most recent GPUs.

Support any Kind of Grid

  • Accurately represent multiple-property reservoir models with a wide range of grid types (pillar grid, PEBI grid, structured and unstructured grids, local grid refinements, and more).

Use High-level 3D Grid Plot Components

  • The MeshViz XLM extension for Open Inventor provides a comprehensive library of classes powered by multi-core CPUs that include:
    • Grid skin, arbitrary slice, logical slice, 2D cross section
    • Undefined values, inactive cells, and cell filtering
    • Isosurface, flow path streamlines, contouring, isolines, and more

Dramatically Reduce Memory Usage

  • Handle very large grids using MeshViz XLM’s unique Advanced Virtual Programming Interface (AVPI) to let feature extraction tools directly access your application data structures without memory duplication.

Co-visualize Reservoir and Seismic Data

  • Through the VolumeViz extension, expand your data support capabilities to simultaneously handle seismic and reservoir data.

Compute On the Fly

  • MeshViz XLM allows developers to define custom functions and compute additional properties on the fly, avoiding storage of precomputed values.

Ready-to-use 2D Plot Components

  • • 2D/3D Cartesian, angular, polar, or time axis
    • 2D/3D linear, logarithmic, or generalized multi-axis system
    • Continuous and discrete legends
    • Single and multiple histograms, 2D/3D pie charts
    • 2D lines graph, xy plot, and more

Export 3D Views and Animations

  • • Export plots in raster format at any desired resolution
    • Export plots to vector format, including CGM, HPGL and PDF 3D
    • Export animations in AVI and MPEG file formats

Out-of-core Data Management

  • Thanks to the proprietary LDM technology, the ReservoirViz extension for Open Inventor delivers unique capabilities to interactively handle out-of-core data, enabling you to easily handle large reservoirs exceeding 100 million cells.

3D Application Framework

  • Avizo®’s expandability makes it an ideal open framework for research centers and consulting organizations that need rapid software customization to address their specific requirements.
