Generate the first deck#

Copy an existing TOML configuration and generate OPM Flow input files without running a simulation.

Prepare the configuration#

Run the tutorial from the repository root. Copy the supplied SPE11B example so the original file remains unchanged:

cp examples/spe11b.toml my_spe11b.toml

Generate the deck#

pyopmspe11 -i my_spe11b.toml -o my_spe11b -m deck

How it works#

pyopmspe11 -i: Selects a TOML or legacy TXT configuration file.
pyopmspe11 -o: Sets the output folder.
pyopmspe11 -m: Selects the workflow. deck generates OPM Flow input without running the simulator.

The command-line options select what pyopmspe11 does. The TOML variables define the SPE11 case, physical model, grid, properties, wells, and schedule.

Result#

With subfolders enabled, the generated input files are written under:

my_spe11b/
└── deck/
    ├── MY_SPE11B.DATA
    └── FIPNUM.INC
    └── FLUXNUM.INC
    ├── GRID.INC
    └── PVBOUNDARIES.INC
    └── TABLES.INC

The exact filenames depend on the configuration and generated model.

Next#

Continue with Run OPM Flow. See Configuration reference for TOML variables and Output folder for the generated folder structure.
