Functional Requirements for Developing ERAS - A Portal to Support Collaborative Geomechanical Simulations
Abstract
One of the most important tasks in geomechanical research is executing analytical and numerical simulations to understand geomechanical phenomena. In order to attain this objective, researchers have to prepare data to perform the simulations, build the models that define the appropriate physical representation and the mathematical modeling of the problem, run a computer system capable of simulating the phenomenon, and visualize and interpret the results. This paper presents the main functional requirements to support the development of solutions that encompass the simulation of geomechanical problems, taking into account a collaborative environment with access to an efficient computer infrastructure. The paper also describes ERAS, a portal developed according to these requirements, highlighting the advantages it brings to researchers in this area.
