Create from Single Seam

On the Stratigraphic tab, in the Seam Block Model group: Click Create from Single Seam to convert a Grid file to a Seam Block Model file.

Input Grids

You can either create a block model which is generated from a Top and Bottom seam, or which is generated from a calculated Elevation and Thickness grid.

Minimum Thickness

If a value is entered here the process will ignore blocks with a thickness which is less than the specified value. The field has at least two decimal places, however, if the specified minimum thickness is, for example, 0.0001, the number of decimals will be four. If not specified, the default minimum thickness is 0.001.

Output

Seam Block Model file

Specify a Seam Block Model file as the output file. If the file does not exist, a new file will be created.

Easting, Northing and Z fields

Specify the Easting, Northing and Z coordinate fields in the output file.

Add Material Field

For some functions that operate on a Seam Block Model, a Material field is compulsory and its content is used in the name of the output that is generated.

Select this option to add a Material field to the Seam Block Model file. Enter a field name for the field and a default value that will be used to populate the field.

Forms

Click the Forms button to select and open a saved form set, or if a form set has been loaded, save the current form set.

Run

Finally, click Run to generate the seam block model file.
