Terrington, R.L.; Thorpe, S.. 2018 Post-calculation checks of GSI3D models V2. Nottingham, UK, British Geological Survey, 27pp. (OR/18/010) (Unpublished)
Abstract
This report describes methods for identifying, checking and remediating issues in GSI3D models post calculation using cross-sections and exported surface and thickness grids. These checks are to ensure that the outputted geometry of geological units bear a true resemblance to the lateral and depth extents of those units correlated in GSI3D.
The cross-section checks and issues include:
• Missing envelopes or cross-section correlations geometries
• Lack of correlation nodes on cross-section lines
• Wrongly attributed correlation lines in cross-section
• Lack of constraint at envelope boundaries
The surface and thickness grid checks and issue include:
• Bulls-eyes from anomalous correlation points
• Holes in the top and base calculated surface
• Surface crossovers
• Unnatural artefacts in modelled surfaces from cross-sections
