RockWorks 17 Faults

[Earl]

Hi Tom

 

I have a project where I have about 1/3 of the project area which is faulted. I am trying to get the 2-D models and surfaces I create for my stratigraphy model to interpolate Fault Polylines. I entered fault trace data into the "Gridding Options," Fault tab/ table and when I process there is no change made. I have tried several different ways to correct this but I cant seem to get the fault polyline to even appear on a 2-D map. 

 

Thanks

Hi Tom 

Thanks for the quick response on this. I uploaded the grid file, master excel export as well as a pdf so you can see this structural top I am attempting to grid.These are on the upload portal you sent in the link above.  RW amazingly just started to plot the faults on my surface the day after I sent my initial message. That part is working now and I can see from sections that the algorithm is taking the faults into account. My problem now is that I cannot find a gridding algorithm that will exclude this stat unit north of the fault. The rock does not exist in any of the data north of the fault system but it still displays it. I could use help in: 

 

• Selecting a proper gridding algorithm to display this strat unit correctly across the fault. Or settings that will correct it
• identifying a way that I can experiment with pinch outs of units
• determining if data gaps between holes need to have "Fake" borings inserted as control point to restrain RW algorithms from interpolating surfaces across areas where the unit does not exist. 

Just to clarify I have tried many different settings and options in RW to achieve this with no success. The ultimate production of these surfaces needs to be as accurate as possible as the surfaces will be entered into other models for the project.

Thanks  for the input. I have moved the borings, turned off holes north of the fault, and inserted missing stratigraphy.  The data plots much better now after doing that. I appreciate the input on this.
