Overview

The Curve planner creates one constant-dogleg section from the current trajectory, useful for manual refinements without generating an entire multi-section profile.

Workflow

  1. Open Curve.
  2. Enter three of five parameters: MD, TVD, Inclination, Azimuth, and Dogleg Severity.
  3. Leave the remaining two parameters for the solver and choose Calculate.
  4. Confirm the endpoint and check DLS against your design constraints.
