Database Import - Fractures

Step 7: Set up the Fracture Information.

This step is used to define the downhole fracture data for the drillholes, destined for the Fractures table in RockWorks.
If you don't want to import fracture data at this time (or if you don't have data), you can simply click the Next button along the bottom of the window to proceed to the I-Data data import screen.

1. Click the Choose the Table for Fracture Data button to select the table in the input file that contains the fracture information.

   

   The program will load the Available Fields into the pane to the right.

2. Now, map the available fields, in the list to the right, to the RockWorks fields, by dragging them with your mouse.

   

   Be sure to map fields to the required fields: Borehole Reference (the borehole ID), Depth (DEPTH), Azimuth (AZI), Inclination (DIP), Radius (RAD), Aperture (THK), and Color (COLOR) in this example.

   

   ! Not sure what's what? Click the View Table Data button to view the source data table.

3. Once you have mapped the fields to your satisfaction, click the Import Fracture button.
   !This is really important. This import tool processes one table at a time, not all at once. If you don't click the Import Fracture button, the mapped fields will not be brought into the RockWorks database.

   

4. Click the Next button to proceed to the I-Data import screen.
   Or, click on the small drop-down arrow by the Next button to jump directly to the next import screen of interest.
