General Module Function
geology_to_vistas is used in conjunction with Krig_3D_Geology or Spline_Geology. Both of these modules can create finite difference grids based on your geologic data.
It writes the fundamental geologic grid information to a file format that Ground Water Vistas can read.
The output includes the x,y origin; rotation; and x-y resolutions in addition to descriptive header lines proceeded by a "#".
Module Input Ports
geology_to_vistas has one input port which accepts all required grid information from either Krig_3D_Geology or Spline_Geology.
Module Output Ports
geology_to_vistas has no output ports.
Module Control Panel
The geology_to_vistas panel is shown above. There are only two parameters (besides the output file name).
Reverse Surface Hierarchy – This toggle determines whether the surfaces will define layers in a normal (top to bottom) manner or reversed (if on). This topic is discussed in more detail in Workbook 12.
Minimum Layer Thickness forces layers thinner than the specified value to have a minimum thickness and therefore not pinch-out completely.
An example of an application using this module is shown above. The output from this application is shown below.
