OPM Flow Keyword Reference

IMPORT

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserGRIDEDITPROPSREGIONSSOLUTION

Variant 1 — GRID section

The IMPORT keyword informs the simulator to import data from the specified IMPORT file. When the end of the IMPORT file is reached, input data is read from the next keyword in the current file. Normally IMPORT files are generated by grid pre-processing software and the keyword allows for both formatted and unformatted (binary) files to be loaded. The keyword can be used to import any valid grid arrays within a section, for example the EQLNUM array in the REGIONS section

Notes:

The keyword is terminated by a “/”.

Example

The first example shown below loads the grid file from the same directory as the data file.

-- LOAD A IMPORT FILE
--
IMPORT
'NOR-OPM-A00-GRID.EGRID' /
The next example loads the same file one directory above from where the data file is located.
--
-- LOAD A IMPORT FILE
--
IMPORT
'../NOR-OPM-A00-GRID.EGRID' /
The final example loads the same file from a separate include subdirectory in the parent directory of the data file.
