Technical data

 The following information is intended as a guide to the technical aspects of v2011 of GSI3D. If you have a specific requirement or technical question about capabilities or system requirements please contact us.

Modelling

• Scale independent (no maximum project area)
  
  
• Unlimited^* structural (i.e. geological) units
  
  
• Unlimited^* cross sections
  
  
• Local grid coordinate system
  
  
• User-defined stratigraphy and legend colours
  
  
• Non-faulted 3D volumes
  
  
• Medium structural complexity, including non-overturned folds
  
  
• Subcrops
  
  
• Onlap/overlap and offlap
  
  
• Lenses within units
  
  

^*Subject to available computer memory
