Identifying Overpopulated Cells

RockWorks | Borehole Manager | StripLogs | Identify Overpopulated Cells

This program is used is used to generate a report that lists XY cell nodes (midpoints) that contain more than one vertical borehole. The dimensions of these cells are defined under the Grid & Model Dimensions heading at the top of the main RockWorks menu (under Project | Settings | Dimensions). 

The intent of the program is to assist the user in identifying clusters of boreholes where they may want to consider either making the cells smaller, disabling boreholes, or consolidating the clustered boreholes into a single "composite" borehole and disabling the clustered boreholes that are represented by the composite borehole(s).

The program will also provide a simple summary listing the number and relative percentage of overpopulated cells.

! Note: This program only applies to vertical boreholes.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the Borehole Manager program tab. 
2. Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager. 
3. Verify that the names of the boreholes to be included in the computations are enabled (the check-boxes to the left of the borehole names are checked).
4. Select the Borehole Manager | StripLogs | Identify Overpopulated Cells menu option. 
5. Click the Process button to proceed with the calculations.  

The program will compare the borehole locations against the grid node centers. It will display a window summarizing the number of grid cells with more than one borehole. If there are any such cells, RockWorks will also generate a report listing the grid cell center point and the names of the boreholes within the cell. 

Tips

• Use the File | Save menu to save the report as an RwDat file, or the File | Export menu to export to another format.
