What's New

This page describes recent changes in Geology Modeling.

R2022x FD01 (FP.2205)

Generate Geology Models with Intrusions

Geology models can now be generated with intrusions.

You can now model intruded units with respect to intrusions events.

Benefits: This means that you can now model more complex environments where intruded units cut through existing stratigraphy.

Sort Geological Features

You can now sort the generated geological features alphabetically or geochronologically.
Benefits: This means that locating geological features is easier.

Disassociate a Terrain from a Geology Model

A terrain can now be disassociated from a geology model.
Previously, once a terrain was associated with a geology it could only be replaced and not removed.
Benefits: This means that a geology can now have an associated terrain disassociated, which means the model would no longer have a terrain.

Display the Unit of Measure

The unit of measure is now displayed in all panels and dialogs, including in line editors using numerical values.
Benefits: This means that you know what unit of measure is being used.

Create Section View and Step

The section view and step functionality has been migrated to a common framework for use in other cloud based applications.
Benefits: This means that you can use the section view and step functionality in both Geology Modelling and Geoscience Interpretation.

Use a Colour Legend for Geological Features and Borehole Intervals

Now geological features and borehole intervals may be displayed using a color palette set for a collaborative space or a tenant.
Benefits: This means that a custom colour legend can be used in the geology model.

Open a Properties Panel from the Contextual Menu for Features

You can now open a properties panel from the contextual menu for features.
Benefits: This means that you can view a summary of the properties for that feature.

Associate an Existing CRS with a Geology Model

You can now associate an existing CRS with a geology model.
An existing CRS from either 3DSpace or a Site PLM object can now be associated and disassociated with a geology model and imported geological structures.
Benefits: This means geological data, imported structures, and generated features are geolocated with respect to a common CRS.

Constrain Unconformable Meshes to Structural Zones

You can now constrain unconformable meshes to structural zones to represent mineralisation and intrusion shells.
Structural zones are defined by planar unconformable events of faults, unconformities, and model extents. The defined geochronology is used to generate a set of structural zones, and possible intermediate or merged structural zones. Structural zones can be used later in the geology modelling procedure to filter data points based on their location with respect to each structural zone.
Benefits:

This means that unconformable geological features can be generated with respect to structural zones.

Support Failover for the Application Session and State

You can now reopen your most recent geology modelling session and there is now automatic recovery from crashes that opens the most recent save of the crashed geology model.
When you create or work on a geology model, you can open your most recent session in the geology modelling application. This will be done from the landing page of the geology modelling application. If the compute server resources crash, your currently opened geology model will be opened at its most recent saved state.
Benefits: This means that you no longer have to restart Geology Modeling to continue working on the geology model.
