horizons to 3d structured
The horizons to 3d structured 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.
This module is similar to horizons to 3d, but does not duplicate nodes at the layer boundaries and therefore the model it creates cannot be exploded into individual layers. However, this module has the advantage that its output is substantially more memory efficient and can be used with modules like crop and downsize or ortho slice.
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.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Geologic Field | Field | The main geologic field to convert to a structured field. |
| Output | Output Field | Field | The geologic field converted to a structured field. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Run | Boolean | This toggle can prevent the module from running, allowing the user to make changes to large data sets without waiting for updates. |
| Execute | Button | Forces the module to run even if the Allow Run toggle has been turned off. |
Layer Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Z Resolution | Integer | Used as a guide for establishing the total number of cells in the model. The module could potentially produce more than the total. |
| Minimum Cells Per Layer | Integer | Used for establishing a minimum number of cells in the Z direction per layer. |
| Cells Per Layer | Integer | The cells in the Z direction per layer when using the Cells Per Layer proportional gridding option. |
| Proportional Gridding | Choice: Cells Per Layer, Proportional Z Resolution | When multiple geologic layers exist, cells are apportioned to layers in Z based on each layer’s average thickness over the total model domain, subject to the Min Cells Per Layer parameter. |
| Minimum Layer Thickness | Double | Forces layers thinner than the specified value to have a minimum thickness and therefore not pinch out completely. |
| Reverse Surface Hierarchy | Boolean | Determines whether the surfaces will define layers in a normal (top to bottom) manner or reversed (if on). |
Data To Export
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Geologic Nodal Data | Multi-select: Layer Thickness, Depth, Elevation | Controls which data components to generate for the output field on a node-by-node basis. For structured grids the Layer Thickness component will be exported as cell data. |
| Geologic Cell Data | Multi-select: Material ID, Geo Layer | Controls which data components to generate for the output field on a cell-by-cell basis. |
