Export Discontinuity info (Dip and Dip Angle) for further analysis (Dips or Stereonet)

[hrvojelukacic]

HI,

can you please tell me how I can export discontinuity orientation data (dip and dip direction) of each discontinuity plane (cluster) for the purpose of further analysis in Dips or Stereonet?

Thank you in advance!

The main purpose is to perform kinematic analysis using discontinuity poles.

Uncheck the box "Fix normal vector" to let each cluster have its own normal. Complete the analysis. Then, when you export the results find the file "XXX js-c-abcd.txt". For each cluster the plane equation is given by A, B and C. Then, for each cluster transform it into Dip and Dip Direction.

If you use MATLAB, have a look at this function: vnor2vbuz_v02.m

Thank you for your answer. I have successfully done the first step, but I have a problem with transforming the ABCD equation to DD and D. Can you please help me with how to do it outside Matlab (because I am not fluent) or give me advice on how to import "XXX js-c-abcd.txt" into Matlab to run vnor2vbuz_v02.m. Thanks for your help.

First, load the file: A=load('filename');

[w,b]=vnor2vbuz_v02(A(:,4),A(:,5),A(:,6));

w: dip direction b: dip

This should work

Thank you for your help. I tried, but I keep getting multiple errors. I am sending the code in a Txt file so maybe you can please have a look. Maybe there is a syntax error or something. DSE_test_code.txt

Analyse the point cloud and export the results.

% load the file in a matrix: A=load('filename'); % be sure that the DSE folder was added to the path, now: [w,b]=vnor2vbuz_v02(A(:,4),A(:,5),A(:,6)) % where w: dip direction % b: dip

Thank you very much for your help !
