Rockworks 14
RockWorks14 is a broad, integrated geological data management, analysis, and visualization tool. It contains a borehole data manager for easy entry of downhole data: observed lithology/stratigraphy contacts, geophysics or geochemistry measurements, water levels, fractures and deviated drill hole surveys. Downhole data can be easily analyzed using RockWorks14's two dimensional and three dimensional OpenGL visualization tools. Whats New New Project Manager Features Use the new Project Manager interface to view and open files in the current project folder. Customize the types of files that are displayed Double-click on grid model names to display them as 2D contour maps and 3D surfaces. Double-click on solid model names to display them as 3D voxel or isosurface models. Hold your mouse of RockPlot2D and 3D files to see previews New 2D and 3D Striplog Options Plot I-Data and P-Data using logarithmic scales in 2D and 3D logs. Unwind 2D directional logs to avoid projection onto itself.

New Cross-Section Tools
Plot lithology patterns in 2D Sections or Profiles. Patterns are included in layers that can be enabled or disabled, along with striplogs and other data types in the diagram. Plot logs in Striplog Sections based on true Easting/Northing location, or with equal spacing between logs. This should be helpful if you have sections with large gaps between boreholes. Plot multiple parallel profiles automatically. This options is now available for all data types in the Borehole Manager.
Improved Stratigraphy Modeling Constrain your Stratigraphy models based on upper ground surface grids or lower pit surface grids. Clipped Stratigraphy models now plot side with panels along irregular boundaries.
New 3D Visualization Tools Distribute RockPlot3D to your coworkers as a free viewer for your saved 3D scenes. (Download the RockPlot3D installation.) Includes isomesh contour lines in 3D isosurface diagrams. Durov Diagrams Plot hydrochemistry data as Durov diagrams, with optional point density of TDS color contours. Sieve Diagrams Use this tool to generate cumulative grain size distribution diagrams depicting grain size distributions for one or more samples. The direction of increase for the horizontal and vertical axes may be easily switched. Annotion options include millimeters, microns, UddenWentworth, ASTM, Tyler Mesh, and USCS.
Professional Applications of RockWorks14 Include: The Environmental Industry Perform standard tasks such as creating contour maps and site maps, picking your stratigraphy from your observed lithology, and generating two-dimensional cross-sections and three-dimensional fence diagrams. Do analysis of chemical data with piper/stiff diagrams and the generation of two-dimensional contour maps and three-dimensional solid models of your contaminant distributions. Use your stratigraphy data to generate three-dimensional stratigraphic models and see how your stratigraphy and plumes interact. Perform volumetric and mass calculations on solid models of your contaminants as well as your different stratigraphic units. The Mining Industry Suited for use with coal, industrial mineral, and other stratabound economic deposits, in both the exploration and production phases. Create surface geochem contour maps, two-dimensional elevation contour maps and three-dimensional terrain models. Provides full volume and mass statistics for any orebody model. MAIN FEATURES Zoom In

Borehole Lithology Tools
Add lithology and stratigraphy text descriptions Add special symbols, patterns and text depth
2D Profiles Creates a solid model from your borehole lithology data, and you select a vertical plane within the model as your profile. 3D Fence Diagrams Select multiple overlapping or cross-cutting panels in any direction. 3D Lithology Models Create a solid three dimensional block model of your borehole lithology data Lithology Volumetrics Calculate volume or mass of the lithology layers in your solid model Two Dimensioanl Profiles The 2D Stratigraphic Profile generator creates a solid model of your stratigraphy. Fence Diagrams A three dimensional stratigraphic model is created from your borehole stratigraphy data. Stratigraphic Block Models Once you've created a 3D strat manipulate your model in the 3D viewer. Elevation Maps Of Formation Tops Make a two or three dimensional elevation map for the top of any of your stratigraphic units. Fence Diagrams Create fence diagrams to visualize multiple transects in three dimension through your solid geochemistry model. Solid Geochem Models Model your contaminant plume or other borehole geochem data, set concentration limits in the viewer to view isosurfaces. Volumetrics, Reserve Estimates Detailed volumetric and reserve estimate capability calculations are based on your geochemistry solid model. Borehole Maps Create unique symbols and colors for each sample point/borehole and display subsurface traces for deviated or inclined wells. Coordinate Systems Convert borehole locations from lat/lon or township/range to UTM prior to display 2D Profiles Choose any transect to view your aquifer from multiple angles. Plan View Maps Create contour maps showing various features of your aquifer (superface elevations, subface elevations and isopach). 3D Models Model the top and bottom surfaces of your aquifer in three dimension
