horizons to 3d

The horizons to 3d module creates 3-dimensional solid layers from the 2-dimensional surfaces produced by gridding and horizons, to allow visualizations of the geologic layering of a system. It accomplishes this by creating a user specified distribution of nodes in the Z dimension between the top and bottom surfaces of each geologic layer.

The number of nodes specified for the Z Resolution may be distributed (proportionately) over the geologic layers in a manner that is approximately proportional to the fractional thickness of each layer relative to the total thickness of the geologic domain. In this case, at least three layers of nodes (2 layers of elements) will be placed in each geologic layer.

Please note that if any portions of the input geology is NULL, these cells will be omitted from the grid that is created. This can save memory and provide a means to cut (in a Lego fashion) along boundaries.

Module Input Ports

• Input Geologic Field [Field] Accepts a data field from gridding and horizons to krige data into geologic layers.

Module Output Ports

• Output Field [Field] Outputs a 3D data field which can be input to any of the Subsetting and Processing modules.

Properties and Parameters

The Properties window is arranged in the following groups of parameters:

• Properties: controls Z Scale and Explode distance
• Layer Settings: resolution and layer settings
• Data To Export: controls what data to outputs.
