The essential 3D platform for the MapInfo Professional/Encom Discover GIS environment

The Encom Discover 3D module is the first fully-integrated 3D GIS for the geoscience sector. Built on top of the award-winning Encom Discover, Discover 3D turns your 2D GIS into a full 3D system.

New in Encom Discover 3D 2011:
- View intervals as 3D points
- Surface area, volume, length and other feature object statistics are computed and stored automatically
- Expanded seismic (SEGY) digitizing and editing for better interpretations
- Numerous voxel modeling tools: Direct interpolation of digitized 3D points/polylines into a voxel model, convert model slices to images, etc.
- Voxel/vector analysis tools: Constrain models to vector volumes, clip models using grid models, etc.

Contaminant Plume Modeling

Visit our RockWorks video gallery to view a 3-part series detailing the modeling of a contaminant plume at the Denver Federal Center using historic data (2005 - 2008).

Concepts include stratigraphy modeling, 2D mapping of TCE concentrations, and 3D modeling of the TCE plume.

It can be tricky to limit the distribution of spatially-restricted lithology materials, such as fill materials in buried pits, when you interpolate a lithology model from borehole data. Here are some tools you can use to prevent the lithology types from bleeding outside their pits.

- Create duplicate boreholes for the holes in the pits, using a pseudo name (e.g. "DH-01_copy") and WITHOUT the material type to be restricted to the pits.
- Interpolate the lithology model using the pseudo holes (without the pit material), being sure the original boreholes are disabled.

The cross section below represents a slice through the lithology model.

- Create a grid model that represents the elevations at the base of the pit material.
- Create a grid model that represents the elevations at the top of the pit material. These grid models could come from a variety of sources, such as imported from DXF contours or created from scratch.
- Filter the existing lithology model with these surfaces (Utilities Solid / Filters / Grid Filters / Two Bounding Grids), setting the nodes between the grids to the pit material G value.

The cross-section of the filtered model, below, illustrates the constraining grids with red outlines.
