read morePrecision Issues in EVS
This is an important subject that is long overdue to be discussed in detail. There are several aspects of numeric precision that are relevant to EVS and our users, but two in particular warrant a detailed description. Precision of calculations and deliverable results Precision of graphical displays Both topics above are driven by the way that computers represent numbers, therefore we will address first how computers represent Float and Double numbers. For those of you not familiar with the terms “Float” and “Double” as used in computer...

The next release of Earth Volumetric Studio will also include our Patent Pending Fast Geostatistical Realization™ (FGR™) technology. This is the “secret” that we could not talk about prior to filing the patents.Our Geostatistical Realizations are a significant advancement to industry standard Gaussian Geostatistical Simulations (GGS). A good reference on GGS can be found on ESRI’s website.Traditional GGS provides realizations (potential scenarios) showing how a geostatistical model might vary from the nominal prediction due to the...

I am pleased to announce the release of a new Training Class on Complex Fault Modeling. This 45 minute video explains, in detail, the processes involved in modeling a complex site with 4 faults and 6 fault blocks. This site is modeled using the technique we refer to as Prehistoric Geology, and we cover how to create the prehistoric .GEO file from your current stratigraphic geologic data in order to create a faulted model which honors the continuity of the geologic strata that existed prior to the ancient faulting. This is a free recorded...
