Back to Solid Modeling Method SummaryFor each material type, the program creates a temporary dataset composed of 0s and 1s (1 where the material exists and 0 where the material does not exist). It uses a basic inverse distance algorithm to create models based on this data, resulting in a gradational model composed of values between 0 and 1 for each material type. Areas that are closest to the material will have higher values and areas further away will have lower values. Then, the program compares all of these temporary models and chooses the material with the highest modeled value (between 0 and 1) when assigning a material type to each model cell.
Hint: The Cutoff-H and Cutoff-V options can influence the results of this modeling algorithm and can help limit the extent of the data interpolated below wells and boreholes.
Advantages: The program then assigns the final node values based on the g-value with the highest probability.
Disadvantages: Although this program is designed primary for lithologic modeling, it may also be used with other types of data with the caveat that the processing time increases with the number of unique g-values.
