Miscellaneous software & scripts

Some Gocad-related scripts:

  • wells2gocad.py converts vertical wells to Gocad well format: requires two table files with
    ID X Y Z TVDMAX(optional)
    and ID TVD MARKERNAME as input but can easily be adapted; Python required
  • gocad2flac3d.py converts Gocad Solid files to Itasca Flac3d files for geomechanical/finite difference modelling
  • azidip2normvec.psc computes normal property as 3d vector from azimut+dip properties (the normal can be used as D.S.I. constraint for surface modelling)

GeoShow 3d Viewer

  • Visualize Gocad structural models (surfaces, lines, points) in VRML (based on Cortona engine)
  • Important: you need a special VRML format in order to list the objects » export your models to VRML using the GisTools plugin
  • Features: view/hide objects, change transparency, color, textures,
    identify objects, pick coordinates and distances, animate your views

»download, then extract files and view Readme.txt (»VB source - this was my first and last VB program ...)
