Workflow for Working with Earth Materials and Volumes

You can get started with the Earth Materials and Volumes app by selecting a terrain surface and referencing geodata, such as a block model.

Before you begin:
  • Define a palette and a semantic dictionary Geoscience Resource table in Data Setup.
  • Import and open a block model file.
  1. Import geodata resources, such as, block models. See Importing Block Model Files in Interactive Mode.
  2. Visualize block models in the 3DEXPERIENCE.
  3. Filter block models by spatial objects and attribute values. See Filtering a Block Model.
  4. Color areas of interest within block models. See Coloring a Block Model.
  5. Select a block to inspect block attribute values on the fly. Displaying Block Properties.
  6. Perform volume calculations between series of surfaces. See Generating a Volume Report for a Series of Surfaces.
  7. Report the calculated volumes. See Creating Reports.
  8. Review the calculated volumes in the 3D area.
