Intrusion model example#1055

Hi, Is there any example showing a model with a intrusion? I could not find in the examples page on how to model it. Best regards, |

in order to help we would need a little more information: What kind fo intrusion are wa talking about? What did yiu try so far and where did you encounter problems. iut always helps to provide a sketch so we have an idea what you are aiming for. Cheers, |

HI@javoha, I haven´t tried anything. My study area is a greenstone belt where there are some circular-shaped calc-alkaline intrusions in the basalt unit, so I would like to see how gempy can handle these type of examples (e.g. intrusions with circular/rounded geometry). Best regards, |

Hi again, Gempy does prefer layer stacks and does not have any specific method to model intrusion bodies. Depending on many factors, mainly the shape of your intrusions, their relation to the surrounding strucuture and also the amount of these bodies you want to include in your model it might still be very possible to model with Gempy. The ebst way to evaluate this would be to understand the modeling principles underlying gempy and the structure that is used to define the interaction between structural groups and elements. I would recommend ourvideo tutorial series to get a grasp if you have not already done so. If a pure gempy solution is not suitable there is also the option to use a gempy model as a basis and either add objects to i or perfom some kind of geostatistical operation within certain units as a post processing step to add intrusion bodies. I hope this helps, feel free to ask follow-ups if anything is unclear. Cheers, |

Hi, Inserting intrusions in Gempy is not possible. You could either model them as a new unit on top of you othere units and then just cut it with the topography (this would be fully within GemPy but I cant guarantee you would be satisfied with the result), or just take the gempy solution and add your intrusions as objects (e.g by changing the resulting lithology block or inserting new meshes) afterwards (outside of gempy).

Hi Jan, I see. Thank you for explaining. It gave me some insights about my situation. Indeed I should simplify my model with some assumptions due to lack of thickness and structural orientations and then follow what you told me. Best regards, Vinicius |
