Tutorial: Create T-Data Models and Diagrams

This section of the Borehole Manager tutorial contains lessons for creating diagrams to illustrate downhole data that is entered into the project's Time-Interval (T-Data) tables.  T-Data simply refers to downhole samples that are measured over depth intervals and which have a date/time record which can be used as a filter for modeling and display.  The T-Data table is commonly used for entry of contaminant data, such as geochemical values taken from monitoring wells.

If you have already done the I-Data lessons, these procedures will be very much the same. However, the modeling will be restricted to measurements on a specific date and constrained within aquifer surfaces.

Pick a lesson by clicking on its arrow. We recommend going through these lessons in the order listed.  Those marked with "*" are required for subsequent lessons.

If this is the first lesson set you’ve done, please be sure you’ve (1) opened a project folder, (2) restored the program defaults,  and (3) set the project dimensions.

  Tutorial Lesson Minimum licensing level
Look at the Time Interval (T-Data) layout
See how the data columns, dates, and values are defined, how to edit the data as a "datasheet", and how to query based on T-Data values.

Basic
(or Trial)

Display T-Data logs in 3D.*   
This offers a quick, overall view of the Toluene measurements for a specific date.
Basic
(or Trial)
Display T-Data logs in a 2D cross section.  
This shows the Toluene measurements for selected boreholes for a selected date in a multi-log cross section diagram.
Basic
(or Trial)
Create a 3D aquifer model.* 
The surfaces representing the water levels will be used to constrain the time-data model in the following lesson.
Standard
(or Trial)
Create a T-data isosurface diagram.* 
Here you will interpolate the log data into a continuous solid model and display it as an isosurface.
Standard
(or Trial)
Create an interpolated T-Data profile
Using the interpolated model from above, you'll display a single slice in a profile diagram, with 2D logs.
Standard
(or Trial)
Create a T-Data isosurface diagram for a different date
Here you will quickly create water level surfaces and a new solid T-Data model for a different sampling date.
Standard
(or Trial)
Create a morphed model animation
In this lesson you will use the RockWorks morphing tool to create a 3D animation between two toluene models, and to create an AVI file.
