GM-SYS Profile Modeling

The GM-SYS Profile Modeling extension to Oasis montaj enables you to create a geologic model and test its accuracy by comparing the model's gravity and magnetic response to observed measurements.

GM-SYS (advanced) includes the SEG-Y Reader, which enables you to read and integrate seismic and well log data with Oasis montaj or GM-SYS data. Hundreds of bodies, using any tabular prism, can be modeled and all parts of the model can be defined with unique properties.

Other features include the ability to read and calculate magnetic gradients along a horizontal axis and along a vertical axis. It has a full cross-hair cursor which extends horizontally and vertically across the model, making it easier to align items. Users can bring up to 15 horizons from Geosoft database or grid files into GM-SYS.

GM-SYS's user-friendly and feature-rich interface makes the data modeling process fast and easy and provides many opportunities to constrain modeling variables. Model response data is detailed and complete. Both gravity and magnetic responses are calculated for the same geologic model. The responses of individual blocks may also be displayed. Magnetic calculations include both induced and remanant components.

Intermediate and Advanced options are available that provide greater flexibility of model geometry, speed the data modeling process, and further constrain modeling variables. The GM-SYS Lab license is available as part of Geosoft's Education Program and contains all the features of the GM-SYS Advanced Profile Modeling except that models are limited to 7 bodies and 35 observation/calculation points.

GM-SYS Profile Modeling Basic includes:

Quickly and easily explore a vast array of model possibilities

Scroll through a range of density, susceptibility, remanent magnetization, remanent inclination, or remanent declination for a block. The model response continuously changes in real-time as the block is changed. The instant feedback enables you to quickly test a range of alternative solutions, greatly speeding the interpretation process.

View large amounts of information simultaneously

Both gravity and magnetic response curves can be displayed with both plan view (at any depth) and cross-section views simultaneously. Blocks can be color scaled by density, susceptibility, remanent magnetization, or customized. Block and surface data can be displayed in spreadsheets enabling quick comparison and alteration of block properties. Well markers and configurable LAS Well files can be shown on the model to help you constrain your model. You can also add symbols to represent depth-picks, seismic horizons, measured strike and dip, ect as overlay.

Use GM-SYS with Oasis montaj to create a fast, well- constrained and presentable interpretation

Import from ASCII files, enter data manually, or extract data interactively from Oasis montaj. Active links to your processing software enable your model coordinates to be placed in the real world, models to be overlaid in the plan view on your grid, and the cursor to track in your model and grid simultaneously. XYZ coordinates can be exported for easy importing into GM-SYS 3D, seismic models, and other programs. Sophisticated vector-postscript drivers export to common graphics applications such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw. Output is clean and layered allowing for easy selection and editing.

New in release 7.1!

The GM-SYS Profile enhancements include the following:

  • There is a new Display Elements dialog enabling users to toggle multiple display objects at once
  • Users can now calculate and export the gravity field on a vertical section grid coincident with the model section
  • Users can now export an oriented, vertical section grid of a model property (density, susceptibility, velocity)
  • Geosoft added "View" buttons to main toolbar (Add/Edit/Previous View)
  • Added a warning and code to prevent an imported horizon with self-crossings from being incorporated into the model
  • GM-SYS errors are now passed back to Oasis montaj when opening and building models fails
  • Users can now hide the Action toolbar when the Import Horizon dialog is active
  • The IGRFPT utility supersedes the NGRF function
  • Added support for building time models from grids and databases
  • Added support for importing time horizons to the ImpHoriz button on the main toolbar
