Interpretation in StructureSolver is simple and rapid.
- You interpret faults, horizons and markers as simple curves identified with descriptive categories.
- Faults and horizons automatically have special properties for structural modeling and restoration. Markers are undifferentiated events.
- All drawing and curve editing functions apply equally to faults, horizons and markers and require minimal specification:
- You can simply set the active curve category for drawing by clicking on an existing curve or by selecting from a list.
- You can modify or delete any point on any curve in a single editing operation
- To add points, split, or join curves, you first identify curve segments with a single click
- You can easily delete or reassign curves and delete or redefine entire curve categories.
- No special preparatory steps are needed before creating or modifying a structural model or performing a structural restoration.
- When you edit a fault that has structural model, the model automatically changes.
- All graphical operations use a consistent set of mouse movements and clicks.
- Real-time instructions are shown in a status bar and dynamic information is shown in a dynamic label that follows the cursor
Can I import a digital interpretation from another system?
- StructureSolver does not have in-built functions to import digital interpretations, because of the wide variety of formats that would need to be supported.
- If you have an interpreted seismic or geologic section in another system, the best approach is to save an image of the interpreted section and then import that image into StructureSolver. You can then very rapidly draw over the existing interpretation with new active faults and horizons. In almost all circumstances this approach is quicker than a digital export/import procedure.
- For customers who have recurrent requirements to transfer digital interpretations from another system, we can assist in writing file transfer utilities that will write data to and from StructureSolver solutions data format.
Can I use a single interpretation for structural modeling and restoration?
- Absolutely. Individual faults can each have their own structural models and can also offset horizons that are selected for restoration.
