volumetric_tunnel
The volumetric_tunnel module allows you to create a volumetric tunnel model that is defined by a polygonal surface cross-section along a complex 3D path. Once this volumetric grid is defined, it can be used as input to various modules to map analyte and/or geologic data onto the tunnel. These include:
- 3d estimation: external grid port: to map analytical data
- lithologic modeling: external grid port: to map lithologic data
- interp_data to map analytical data
- interp_cell_data: to map stratigraphic or lithologic material data
The requirements for the tunnel path and cross-section are:
- The path must be defined by a line input to the Right input port.
- The tunnel cross-section is defined by a surface input to the Left input port.
- The cross-section should be defined in the X-Y plane at Z = 0 (2D)
- The coordinates (size) of the cross-section should be actual scale in the same units as the tunnel path (generally feet or meters).
- Do not use cm for cross-section and meters for path.
- Generally, the X-Y Origin (0, 0) should lie within the cross-section and should represent where the tunnel path should be.
