How to: Run an inversion in GMSYS-2D

|

Symptom/Problem:

User would like to invert their data in GMSYS-2D.

Environment:

Oasis Montaj, licensed for GMSYS-2D Intermediate level and higher.

Resolution:

Inverting requires that you have observed data as well as a calculated gravity and\or magnetic response in your model. A block model has also been constructed as a pre-requisite.

Inversion will re-compute the calculated model response to match the observed data by using free parameters that you set. In the example below, the user is inverting on density only.

  1. Click on INV on the Action toolbox.
  2. On the Inversion Setup box, select Density under Free\Fix. Now click on all blocks for which you wish to free up for the parameter - density.
  3. As you click (once), you will see a small "D" appear by the block's label.

    Click the same block again to remove the "D" which sets the block back to fixed density again.

  4. Clicking Auto DC Level will enable the DC offset between observed and calculated response to vary as well.
  5. Click G:M to adjust the Gravity Ratio.

    Gravity Ratio is applicable when you invert using magnetic parameters as well. A ratio of 1.0 indicates only the gravity model is used in the inversion.

    0.5 indicates an equal bias is applied to inverting gravity and magnetic parameters

  6. Click GO when all required densities are set to vary

You can invert on other properties in a similar fashion, (X, Z, XZ (x and z offset freed up), susceptibility). The inversion then becomes joint optimisation.
