Grid model tools

RockWorks has a large assortment of tools and utilities for creating grid models based on XYZ data.

 

Gridding interpolation algorithms
  • Triangulation
  • Inverse distance (variable exponent & octant searching)
  • Directional weighting
  • Kriging (automatic variogram fitting)
  • Closest-point
  • Distance-to-point
  • Multiple linear regression
  • More detail about the algorithms...
Gridding Interpolation Algorithms 


Polynomial trend fitting
  • Create 1st through 6th order polynomial surfaces
  • Create 1st through 6th order polynomial residual XYZ files
  • Generate "goodness-of-fit" polynomial regression/residual reports
Polynomial surfaces of various orders 

  • Polynomial enhancement available:
    • The residuals from the trend fitting analysis are gridded, and added to the polynomial surface
    • The advantages are that regional trends are projected into areas that lack control points, while local regions remain accurate
Example of polynomial enhancement 


Grid model filters
  • remove high and/or low Z values
  • filter values inside/outside a polygon
  • filter Z values based on those in another model
  • convert the model to a Boolean (true/false) model for "what-if" simulations
  • smoothing filters
  • rounding filters
  • resample based on user-defined extents and spacing
Example of grid limit filters 


Grid model computations
  • area
  • volume
  • residuals
  • automatic anomaly-finder


Interactive grid editor
Interactively edit grid node values in a graphic environment.

Slope and direction models

Compute slope and direction for any surface model, and create:

  • gradient maps
  • strike and dip maps
  • 2D flow diagrams
  • 3D flow diagrams

Grid Morphing
Create several transitional grids morphing from one grid to another, and export your movie as an animated GIF.
