Borehole Manager
The Borehole Manager option allows you to define borehole material profiles from which material geometry surfaces can be reconstructed.
- Select the Geology workflow tab
- Select Borehole Manager from the toolbar or the Materials > Borehole Manager menu.
- To add boreholes, select the Add Slice After or Add Slice Before from the table.
Location
The initial location of the borehole can be defined with x,y,z coordinates by the user.
Orientation
The orientation of the borehole can be defined using Vector, or Trend/Plunge option. Vector option allows you to define the orientation of the borehole with defined x, y, z coordinates (and provides the normalized vector coordinate). Trend/Plunge option allows you to assign orientation of the borehole through Trend and Plunch in degrees. The orientation of the borehole is shown in preview on the right side of the dialog.
Water Table
Water Table can be defined using the borehole manager with four methods: Dry, Elavation, top, and bottom. For dry condition, apply Dry on Water Table. Otherwise, users can define water table at elevation of interest using Elevation option. For water table on top or bottom of the borehole, select top / bottom option within water table drop down menu respectively.
Thickness
Users can define thickness of the material layer within borehole data input. The table with thickness, top elevation and bottom elevation is displayed in the middle of the dialog. The borehole preview is shown in the right side of the dialog.
Borehole Setting
Borehole Settings bring borehole option which is also available under Project Settings > Boreholes. Please refer to Boreholes for more details on Borehole Setting.
