Model 4 - Pinchout¶
Modeling of a pinchout: combining scalar fields
This script demonstrates how to create a geological model with a layer of varying thickness (pinchout) using GemPy, a Python-based, open-source library for implicit geological modeling.
# Import necessary libraries
import gempy as gp
import gempy_viewer as gpv
# sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = 3
Generate the model¶
Define the path to the input data
data_path = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cgre-aachen/gempy_data/master/'
path_to_data = data_path + "/data/input_data/jan_models/"
# Create a GeoModel instance
geo_model = gp.create_geomodel(
project_name='pinchout',
extent=[0, 1000, 0, 1000, 0, 1000],
resolution=[50, 50, 50],
refinement=6,
importer_helper=gp.data.ImporterHelper(
path_to_orientations=path_to_data + "model4_orientations.csv",
path_to_surface_points=path_to_data + "model4_surface_points.csv"
)
)
# Map geological series to surfaces
gp.map_stack_to_surfaces(
gempy_model=geo_model,
mapping_object={"Strat_Series": ('rock2', 'rock1')}
)
# Compute the geological model
gp.compute_model(geo_model)

2D visualization¶
Plot the initial input data in the y direction, without computed results
gpv.plot_2d(geo_model, direction=['y'], show_results=False)

<gempy_viewer.modules.plot_2d.visualization_2d.Plot2D object at 0x7f3e459cd6d0>
Plot the computed result in the x and y directions, with data
<gempy_viewer.modules.plot_2d.visualization_2d.Plot2D object at 0x7f3eea7c0cd0>
3D visualization¶
Display the computed model in 3D
gpv.plot_3d(geo_model, show_lith=True, show_boundaries=True, ve=None)

<gempy_viewer.modules.plot_3d.vista.GemPyToVista object at 0x7f3e3d536cf0>
