Let's get some activity going here!

[James Parsons]

Hello!

My name is James Parsons, and I'm Intrepid Geophysics' main
3DGeoModeller developer, based in Brighton Victoria.

There's not been much activity on this Google Group of late, but
plenty of members it seems. I hope that this will start to change.

So, with that in mind, I plan to keep the group informed as to what's
currently happening in my part of the GeoModeller universe.

I hope that this will encourage others to do so to, and maybe start
some lively discussions!

Over my last 18 months with the company, I've been improving many
aspects of GM, the User Interface, robustness, adding new features and
so on.

Additionally, I've had the pleasure of meeting many GM users, at User
Group meetings and training sessions. It's just great getting
feedback from you guys. I always come back from these sessions with a
whole bunch of great ideas for improving GeoModeller, and bouyed up
with the enthusiasm with which the application is increasingly being
embraced by geologists.

I've just got back from running a 3 day training session (with Helen
Gibson, our very own project geologist and major GeoModeller user) for
PIRSA in the beautiful city of Adelaide. It was fantastic to see what
the geologists there were starting to do with GeoModeller.

Anyway, that's enough from me for now, I'll be posting here, letting
you know what the latest is, hopefully responding to a few posts too.

Bye for now,

James Parsons - Senior GeoModeller Developer

Follwoing on from your comment...

Is there any way that I can allow dips to vary at points where I am
unsure about the value of the dip.

This relates to ideas about geophysical inversion.. I would like to
have a more general model that permits some flexibility in geological
contacts for those regions where I do not have any a priori
information.

You can easily change the dip values in your GeoModeller project.

To edit the dip either:

(a) Right-click the dip you wish to change and select 'Edit' from the
popup menu.

or

(b) Double-click the dip you wish to change.

Then change the dip value in the dialog that comes up.
Be sure to press 'Edit' in the dialog to commit your change.

I hope this helps.

Hi Bill,

In relation to your question, I am pretty sure there is no way to
assign "varying" dips to a single point. It would be better to not
assign a dip to the geological boundary you are unsure of and just
stick to the information you know. If you are stuck and have to assign
a dip to the formation in order for the program to calculate it, you
can, but this may cause some problems later on.

In the inversion process, the program will change the dips and
geological boundaries of the formations, as defined by you, before you
run the inversion.

I hope this helps somewhat,
