    Fardy Septiawan
    GMSYS-3D 1.4 includes several updates to gravity gradient calculations and inversions. It allows specifying the gradient component for grids and inversion calculations. Horizon layers can now be set as pierceable or not during structural inversions. Limits can be set on structural and lateral density inversions. The model state can now be backed up in multiple ways including an explicit backup of the target grid. Models can also be scaled to a new size, changing the grid cell size and number of cells. Additional minor updates include tooltips providing grid statistics and building a starting index grid.

    GMSYS-3D 1.

    4 Release Notes

    December 2006

    New in Release 1.4 (Oasis montaj 6.4)

    Gravity gradient calculations

    Gravity gradient calculations are better integrated into GMSYS-3D. When defining the grids to be used
    for observed anomaly, calculated anomaly, and error, you may specify the component to be associated
    with the grids. Multiple components may be specified and you may switch the calculation to any
    component.

    Gradient inversions

    Gravity structural inversion and lateral density inversion can operate on normal gravity or the vertical
    gradient of gravity (Gzz). Select the component to be used in the calculations when selecting the
    anomaly in the Gravity pane when setting up the model. Inversion on other components of the
    gravity gradient tensor are not yet supported.

    Layer piercing added to inversion

    A new layer property determines whether a horizon is pierceable during inversion. A pierceable
    horizon may be modified during the structural inversion of an adjacent layer, allowing the inverted
    horizon to pierce the adjacent grid. In reality, the pierced horizon and the inverted horizon will be
    coincident and move together. If a horizon is not pierceable, then the inverted horizon will stop
    moving when it encounters a non-pierceable horizon.

    Constraints on inversion

    An additional [Limits] button has been added to the dialogs for Structural and Lateral Density
    inversions. For the Structural inversion, you may set a relative limit specifying how much the horizon
    may change during the inversion and absolute limits preventing the inversion horizon from passing
    specific elevations. In the Lateral Density inversion, you may set absolute limits for the minimum and
    maximum density allowed.

    Multiple Undo levels for inversion

    Three methods are available to recover the previous model state after inversion. First, a simple one-
    level undo restores the models previous inversion surface or density distribution grid and refreshes
    the anomaly grids and maps to their original state. Secondly, the inversion target grid may be backed
    up explicitly, or under an automatically incremented naming scheme. Finally, one may use the
    [ChkPt] button to back up the entire model by invoking GMS3MDUP.GX to copy, or checkpoint the
    entire model to a separate directory.

    Scale GMSYS-3D models to a new size

    Generate a copy of the current model, scaling the model by a factor n so that:

    The grid cell size is scaled by 1/n


    The number of grid cells in each dimension is scaled by n.

    The scale factor n may be any positive decimal value, within reason. Values of n < 1 reduce the
    number of grid cells and increase the size of the cells, resulting in a loss of resolution, whereas values
    of n > 1 produce increase the number of grid cells and makes the cells smaller, resulting in models that
    are capable of higher resolution.
    Model Explorer updates

    The Model Explorer provides basic statistics for all grids used in the model on mouse-over. Simply
    move the mouse over the grid name and it will display the grid min, max, mean, and standard
    deviation as a tool-tip.

    Build a starting index grid

    A new function allows you to build an index grid from scratch, greatly simplifying the process of
    building a theoretical model. Specify the new grid name, dimensions, cell size, origin, and a constant
    value for the grid.

    Forward calculations from 3D grids (Geosoft voxels)

    Calculate the gravity response or the magnetic response from a 3D grid containing density or
    susceptibility values, respectively.
