ABSTRACT This paper describes the current development of a three-dimensional transient dynamic finite element computer program, GEODYN2, capable of simulating the behavior of a rotating bottom hole assembly (BHA) interacting with a non-uniform formation. The GEODYN2 Program facilitates a very detailed analysis/ simulation of the behavior of a BHA with a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit and various stabilizer designs. The basic drill string mechanics implemented within the program, the overall algorithm, and the more pertinent modeling features which permit this level of analysis are briefly outlined. The implementation of these features and how they allow calculation of the response behavior of a bottom hole assembly are demonstrated. Although the development and enhancement of modeling capabilities within GEODYN2 is ongoing, it is anticipated that the preliminary verification results thus far generated will further the understanding of the response behavior of BHAs.
