Fault Surfaces in Earth Volumetric Studio

There are normally two reasons to create fault surfaces in EVS.  We either just want to display them, or we want to use them to create fault blocks as part of a more complex geologic model.  When we create fault blocks, we are using the surf_cut module and the fault surface is input to the right input port.  There are three main cases to consider with respect...

Volumetrics Study: Studio vs. MVS

Prior to the formal release of Studio, we did a comprehensive volumetrics study because we were making significant changes to both volumetrics and subsetting (e.g. plume) modules in Studio.  In that study we looked at our new Studio algorithms compared with MVS as a function of grid resolution. We’ve always known that as you increase the resolution of...

Modeling of Karst Geology with Caves

One of C Tech’s distributor’s in China asked us to explain how Earth Volumetric Studio could be used to model Caves. The most straightforward approach is to use indicator kriging (e.g. indicator_geology module) and treat the cave as as if it were another material in the site lithology.  The video below takes this approach.  You can also apply...

3D Publishing to 3D PDFs in Earth Volumetric Studio

We just put out a new video on 3D Publishing to 3D PDFs in Earth Volumetric Studio using C Tech’s 3D PDF Converter. https://www.ctech.com/training/videos/

Video on Cut-Fill Optimization in Studio using Python Minimization

We have posted a new Tips & Trick on Cut-Fill Optimization in Studio which uses a Python script to quickly converge on the optimal elevation for an excavation surface so that the amount of fill needed exactly matches the amount of material that is cut. The video is here:  

Full list of Recorded Online Classes now Available

We have updated our Online and Recorded Classes page to reflect the full list of Recorded Online Classes which are now available for rent.  These are the meticulously edited video recordings of the online classes which were recently held and reflect the functionality of the current version of Earth Volumetric Studio.  The rental of each class includes...
