Python is an open-source, object-oriented scripting language with extensive functionality, a large, active development community and loads of online resources for troubleshooting. PyFEHM is a set of classes and methods to enable use of FEHM and auxiliary tasks within the Python scripting environment. Briefly, PyFEHM functionality includes:
- Unstructured/structure grid parsing, structured grid generation and manipulation.
- FEHM input file construction. Support for many macros, restart files, stress and carbon dioxide modules.
- Post-processing of output, including visualisation in Paraview.
- Scripting tools that supports Python’s built-in multi-processing capabilities for batch simulations.
