horizons to 3d
The horizons to 3d module creates 3-dimensional solid layers from the 2-dimensional surfaces produced by gridding and horizons, allowing visualization of the geologic layering of a system. It does this by creating a user-specified distribution of nodes in the Z dimension between the top and bottom surfaces of each geologic layer.
The Z Resolution nodes can be distributed proportionally across geologic layers based on each layer’s fractional thickness relative to the total geologic domain. When using proportional gridding, at least the specified minimum number of cell layers will be placed in each geologic layer.
If any portions of the input geology are NULL, those cells will be omitted from the output grid. This can save memory and provides a means to cut along boundaries.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Geologic Field | Field | The main geologic field to map to 3D. |
| Output | Output Field | Field | The geologic field mapped to 3D. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Run | Boolean | Determines whether the module is allowed to execute. Set to True to allow this module to run. |
| Execute | Button | Forces the module to run even when Allow Run has been turned off. |
Layer Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Z Resolution | Integer | The total number of cells in the Z direction used as a guide when using proportional gridding. Actual Z resolution may be higher than specified. |
| Minimum Cells Per Layer | Integer | The minimum number of cells in the Z direction per geologic layer when using proportional gridding. |
| Cells Per Layer | Integer | The fixed number of cells in the Z direction per layer when not using proportional gridding. |
| Proportional Gridding | Choice: Cells Per Layer, Proportional Z Resolution | Controls how cells are distributed across layers. When proportional, cells are apportioned based on each layer’s average thickness, subject to the Minimum Cells Per Layer constraint. |
| Minimum Layer Thickness | Double | Forces layers thinner than this value to maintain a minimum thickness, preventing complete pinch-out. |
| Reverse Surface Hierarchy | Boolean | When enabled, surfaces define layers from bottom to top instead of the default top to bottom order. |
Data To Export
