Modeling software

for the mining industry3D

The Carlson Geology Module uses drillholes, channel samples, and user-defined 3D polyline data to create accurate and easy-to-use geologic models. A variety of industry-standard modeling algorithms are available, allowing you to create stratigraphic grid models and block models that are realistic, reproducible, and reliable. DRILLHOLES • Import from any format using custom settings • Store drill data directly in the CAD drawing or dynamically link to external databases • Draw geologic columns in section-view or in 3D to correlate strata • Validate holes with queries and reports • Use tools such as Strata Polylines, Horizon Codes, and Drillhole Equations to build complex models • Import E-Log geophysical LAS files and core images MODELING • Use industry-standard modeling algorithms and supporting commands to ensure accurate representation of the geology • Create macros to update models with new data • Investigate models with inspection tools and colored, hatched isopachs • Enhance models with Limit Lines and Strata Polylines for detailed strata behavior • Automatically model strata pinchout and seam splits • Account for incomplete drilling with conformance settings • Compare Geologic Models and user-modified Mining Models to quantify available vs. recoverable reserves CROSS-SECTIONS & FENCE DIAGRAMS • Plot geologic cross-sections or view in realtime with dynamic section line adjustment • Color cross-sections by strata or grade and plot drillholes for reference • Stack up sections in 2D, or draw in 3D to visualize with existing topography and mine designs • Generate accurate dragline range diagrams on actual geologic models
