What you'll learn

  • The basics of implicit modelling
  • 3D geological modelling

Course content

2 sections • 8 lectures • 1h 22m total length

  • Starting a new project and Creating a Geological Database13:00

    Create a geological database for implicit modelling in Micro Mine twenty twenty one by importing drill hole CSV data, mapping geology and survey, and visualizing in 3D.

  • Visualizing Drillholes in 3D5:19

    Visualize drill holes in 3D by selecting the drill hole database, applying geology-based color coding, adjusting trace thickness, and displaying borehole IDs in micro mine, enabling implicit surfaces.

  • Explicit Modelling11:45

    Watch how explicit modelling digitizes sections, snaps to drill holes, and builds polygon strings. The lecture demonstrates the tedious manual workflow and contrasts it with implicit modelling.

Requirements

  • basic geology or mining engineering

Description

Implicit modelling is a game-changing innovation in geological modelling. Traditionally, geological models are produced using a manual drawing process ( explicit modelling)  . Sections are defined, and lithologies, faults and veins are drawn on the sections. Lines are then drawn to connect surfaces across multiple sections. Implicit modelling, on the other hand, allows geologists to spend more time thinking about the geology. Implicit modelling eliminates the laborious legwork by using mathematical tools to derive the model from the data. A mathematical construct is built that can be used to visualise different aspects of the data in 3D. This course will showcase the Micromine 2021 Implicit Modelling module that uses radial basis functions (RBFs) to model grade shells, lithology boundaries, faults or surfaces.
