Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to MPD well drilling methods, for example allowing evaluation of whether an influx can safely be circulated out of the system. For example, a simulator can be used with parameter data from the MPD system to estimate in real time whether the influx can be circulated by the MPD system without exceeding equipment limits, and may be flexible enough to address both oil and water-based mud systems. For example, the simulator may use a multi-phase flow model to estimate the maximum pressure and maximum flowrate, which can then be compared to the equipment limits to determine whether or not the influx can be safely circulated by the MPD system. In some embodiments, the simulator can also be run iteratively to allow for optimization of the fluid circulation process. Systems and devices related to such methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for generating improved machine control data. Event series is generated from input machine control data that is linked with a mesh data that is also generated from the input machine control data. Thus, an activation time (t_act) is determined which indicates the point in time at which the additive manufacturing machine prints a portion of the object that is represented by that mesh element. A full 3D-thermal simulation is run on the mesh elements. Each time the element temperature (T_el) exceeds a predetermined threshold, the activation time (t_act) is increased by a predetermined time increment and the event series is updated. Finally the event series is converted back to output machine control data.
