Unlike P-Data, T-Data and I-Data models, Fracture models are created using a specialized modeling algorithm that represents distance to fractures.

Step-by-Step Summary
Tips
If you've selected Use Existing Model, the program will load the information from the existing fracture model (.RwMod file), and will proceed to diagram generation.
If you've selected Create New Model, RockWorks will scan the project database and extract the XYZ points for all of the downhole fracture measurements, applying any input filters you have applied.
The program will use its dedicated fracture-proximity algorithm to create a solid model of the distance to fractures or the distance to fracture intersections (as requested) in the project. The completed model will be stored on disk under the indicated file name.
If you have requested "Negate Values" then the distances will be multiplied by "-1" so that large distances will become very large negative numbers.
The program will then look at the coordinates specified for the section panels and will construct a vertical profile of each to illustrate the data values, using the selected color scheme. The panels will then be appended together to create the multi-panel section. If requested, logs will be projected onto the section panels; any additional diagram layers will be appended. The completed diagram will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the Options window.
! If the Fracture model looks OK and you just need to adjust one of the diagram settings, you don't need to keep re-interpolating the model. Choose Use Existing Model and browse for the .RwMod file to be used for the section.
