Abstract
The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method for designing a geological simulation grid, the method comprising: providing a geometrical grid that conforms to a set of geological structures of a geological environment; providing a geometrical surface that represents a geological surface of the geological environment, the geological surface being outside the set of geological structures; identifying geometrical structures of the geometrical grid that each correspond to a respective location of the geometrical surface; and transferring to each identified geometrical structure one or more respective parameters, each parameter being a value of a respective property of the geological surface. This improves the field of geological simulation.
