Software for Faster Geologic Data Handling and Analysis
RockWare has released RockWorks 16, the
latest version of its flagship suite for visualizing surface and subsurface data to help
geologists import, display and analyze data
more quickly and accurately. According to
the company, the new version makes navigating and expanding a borehole database
easier than ever. With the improved organization, new sorting options, and ability to
group or hide boreholes, users can isolate
holes of interest quickly. The software now
can reference downhole data tables to
either the ground or collar elevation, and it
supports unlimited commentary on lithology, stratigraphy, water level, well construction and other relevant areas. Its 2-D and
3- D viewers also have received major
improvements. For example, the tools for
hand drawing cross sections snap to lines
and polylines to prevent gaps from appearing between correlated stratigraphy.
Polygons and polylines on contour maps
include vertices so they are easy to edit. In
3- D scenes, users can save viewpoints to
quickly retrieve specific views. The new
version offers enhancements to the stratigraphy and lithology pickers, such as smart
stratigraphy rules for handling missing tops
and bases, and other improvements such
as expanded tools for moving data to and
from Google Earth and support for new
map types.
