RockWorks | Utilities | Solid | Math | Model & Constant
Use this program to manipulate the nodes in a solid model by a constant. You may add, subtract, multiply, or divide the node values by the constant, storing the results in a new solid model file.

Step-by-Step Summary
Menu Options
- Input Model: Click to the right to browse for the name of the existing solid model (.RwMod file) that the program is to read and manipulate.
- Constant: Click to the right to enter the real number value to be added to, subtracted from, multiplied to, or divided into each node in the input solid model.
- Output Model: Click to the right to type in the name to assign to the new solid model that the program will create, which results from the arithmetic operation.
- Operation:
- Add: Input + Constant: Each node in the input model is added to the constant value, and the resulting sum is stored in the corresponding node in the output model.
- Subtract: Input - Constant: The specified constant value is subtracted from each node value in the source model, and the difference is stored for the corresponding node in the output file.
- Subtract: Constant - Input: Each node value in the source model is subtracted from the specified constant, and the difference is stored in the corresponding node in the output file.
- Multiplication: Input x Constant: Each node in the input model is multiplied by the defined constant, with the product stored for each node in the output model.
- Division: Input / Constant: Each source node is divided by the defined constant value, and the result is stored for each node in the output model.
- Division: Constant / Input: Each node in the source model is divided into the constant value, and the result is stored for each corresponding node in the output model.
- Create 3-Dimensional Diagram: Insert a check here if you want to create a plottable 3D diagram of the resulting solid model. Expand this item to establish the diagram settings.
- Diagram Type: Choose Isosurface to display the solid model as if enclosed in a "skin". Choose All Voxels to display color-coded voxels. (More.)
- Iso-Mesh: Use this option to plot a series of polylines that represent three-dimensional contours at a user-defined cutoff. Expand the heading to establish the settings. (More.)
- Color Scheme: Click on the Options button to the right to access a variety of pre-set color schemes, or to create your own. (More.)
- Reference Cage: Insert a check in this box to include a 3-dimensional grid of lines and labels around the solid model diagram. Expand this item to set up the cage options. (More.)
- Include Legend: Insert a check here to include a legend to the G values in the diagram. Expand this item to establish the legend settings. (More.)
Step-by-Step Summary
- Access the RockWorks Utilities program tab. It is not necessary to enter data into the main datasheet because RockWorks will be manipulating an existing solid model.
- Select the Solid | Math | Model & Constant menu option.
- Enter the requested menu settings, described above.
- Click the Process button to proceed.
The program will load the input solid model, perform the requested operation on each of the node G-values with the specified constant, and store the resulting model on disk under the output file name you selected. If you have requested a diagram, it will be displayed in a RockPlot3D tab in the current window.
- You can adjust any of the input options along the left side of the window and click the Process button again to regenerate the display.
! Each time you click the Process button, the existing 3D display will be replaced.
- View / save / manipulate / print / export the display in the RockPlot3D window.
