GemPy is an open-source, Python-based 3-D structural geological modeling software, which allows the implicit (i.e. automatic) creation of complex geological models from interface and orientation data. It also offers support for stochastic modeling to address parameter and model uncertainties.

The fault model lacks undulations #847

Closed Geo-LiuDaLi closed 7 months ago

Geo-LiuDaLi commented 7 months ago

Hi~ I have successfully constructed a series of fault models using Gempy, but the model I have constructed it lacks undulation and I am wondering if there is something I am doing wrong? And how can I go about fixing this problem. Thanks~Looking forward to your reply :） image image

Hello, can you maybe specify the expected result? Right now I am seeing a single fault plane with no other rock units? The plane looks correct as it respects your input data. Cheers, Jan

Hi~ @javoha I apologise for the late reply. As you can see, I just constructed a simple fault plane that is consistent with my existing input data. This is a fault model that I have constructed through software, and I would like the upper surface of the fault to undulate like this, so that I can construct a fault model that is more in line with the current state of the geology. But I don't know how I should realise this requirement, can you give me some advice? Thanks~Looking forward to your reply :） image image

Ok, I think I get it now. Gempy extends faults to the boundaries of your model, unless they are limited by a younger stratigraphical unit or the topography. I am not sure whre the "undulation" in your original model is coming from, but this will define what to do in gempy.

Hello,@javoha I think I know what the problem is.Thank you very much for your reply:).
