RockWorks 一直是用於石油,環保,岩土工程和採礦行業方面等地下數據的可視化的標準程序,因為他有許多流行的工具,如地圖,原木 ,橫截面,柵欄圖,實體模型和測量容積等工具。它還提供多種方式分析你的地下數據,和接受許多不同的數據類型,比如岩層情況、岩性、井下數據、斷裂數據、水文和蓄水層數據。除了其令人印象深刻的收集能力以外,最新的版本還有許多新的功能,包括MDB鑽孔數據庫、交互式測井設計、生動的編輯工具等。
隨著礦產勘探程度的提高,資源勘探向深部方向發展,多功能數據採集系統的研製應用,二維和三維正反演解釋軟體的開發,如何使解釋數據以更直觀的方式展現出來,已成為目前物探界迫切的要求。而ROCKWORKS軟體作為地質建模與成圖工具,在三維地質成圖方面有許多特別的功能,這裡對 ROCKWORKS在深部物探數據三維成圖的應用進行深入研究。並結合EH4多功能數據採集系統的物探數據進行了應用研究,對於軟體的部分功能也提出了有建設性的建議。

- Load dimensions from a sub-site within the project, and from a saved coordinate list.
- Easier navigation with multi-select cut/copy/paste.
Diagram Embellishments
To eliminate additional steps in combining and appending diagrams, common embellishments have been added to the programs that create sections, profiles, projected sections, maps, 3D diagrams and charts.
- Sections, Profiles & Projected Sections – Additional diagram layers include perimeter annotation, surface profiles, faults, infrastructure, up to five 2D graphics overlays, peripheral annotation (titles, title blocks, legends, and image), and a border.
- Maps – Additional map layers include a background image, labeled axes, map overlays, up to five additional 2D diagrams, peripheral annotation (titles, title blocks, legends, scalebar, and image), and a border.
- 3D Diagrams – Additional 3D layers include striplogs, draped images, floating images, control point spheres, a perimeter cage, legends, 3D infrastructure, 3D faults, and up to five additional 3D diagrams.
Expanded Output Options
2D, 3D, Google Earth, and Reporting programs now include output and export options that remove post-processing steps and facilitate uninterrupted Playlist scripting.
- All programs that generate 2D diagrams now include options for simultaneously exporting the output to PDF (as raster images) and/or PNG.
- New 3D output tab includes options for exporting the diagram to a PNG image using a variety of user-specified viewing parameters.
- New Google Earth output tab includes options for specifying the initial viewer location and viewing direction.
- Programs that create reports now provide options for direct output to CSV (Excel), Txt (Notepad) or RTF (Word).
- Striplogs – PDF Bulk Exporter – All of the boreholes within a database can now be exported in one step to a multi-page PDF (as raster images) file that can serve as a report appendix.
Faulting Tools
Use the new Faults tab in the main program window to manage 2D and 3D faults in a single database table.
Import faults from a variety of sources, including:
- Lines and polylines in the RockWorks datasheet or drawn on a map
- XYZ points, dip direction, dip angle, and up/down projection distances listed in the datasheet
- XYZ triangles in the datasheet
- RockWorks grids
- RockWorks17 fault tables and fault files
- Transfer faults between projects, import/export to Excel and text
Apply Faults
- Click the Faulted check-box in the Gridding Options or Solid Modeling Options tabs to apply the enabled faults to the modeling process.
- Fault names are embedded in model metadata.
- Grid smoothing honors fault barriers.
Display Faults – plot enabled faults in…
- 2D maps showing all fault triangles, or intersections with a plane or a surface. 2D fault maps are offered as a standard layer in all other RockWorks maps.
- 2D cross sections and profiles and projected section diagrams.
- 3D scenes as panels using the colors and fill defined in the table. 3D fault displays are offered as a standard layer in all other programs which generate 3D output.
Available for Basic (3 faults), Standard (3 faults), and Advanced (unlimited faults).
Other Database Features
New database comparison tool provides a quick and easy report of the differences between borehole data in different projects. This capability is especially useful when the same database has “diverged” (e.g. multiple users working on the same database without a shared version on a network server).
RockWorks now supports over 5,800 coordinate systems. Convert coordinates in the datasheet, database, maps, and data as it’s being imported.
Import multiple raster logs into the Borehole Manager at one time.
Modeling Features
- Time-Based Modeling – New T-Data Multiple Solids program automatically creates “snapshot” models at designated time intervals which can be constrained by a permeability model and output to a variety of animation programs. Refer to the TCE Site sample project and tutorial.
- New Automatic Polygon Clipping – All gridding and solid modeling programs now include an option for clipping the model based on an automatically-defined convex polygon defined by the control points, analogous to stretching a rubber band around the boreholes.
- Clip Grid Models using polygons in a table or a map.
- New Spatial Filtering – All programs that involve coordinates now include a spatial filtering option so that subsets (including zones between surfaces) can be selectively analyzed/modeled.
- New Time-based filtering options have been added to the Hydrochemical utilities (i.e. Durov Diagrams, Piper Diagrams, Stiff Diagrams and Stiff Maps) as well as any programs that might include striplogs (in order to filter water levels and/or T-Data).
- Create a depth to target grid model for specified values in a solid model.
- Calculate where two grids intersect, such as a water table and surface topography.
- Import 5 meter DEMs to a RockWorks grid model.
- Create a solid model in which the voxel values between two surface model grids are defined by another grid (e.g. ore grades).
Animations
New animation tools have been added for creating videos in which XYZ data, grids, and solids are transitionally “morphed” to show geochemical migrations over time. The output can be saved to AVI, Animated GIF, MP4, WMV, individual frames or exported as a Google Earth animation.
- Solid model reveal animations offer starting view, zoom, stretch, colors, and more. Include up to 12 different changes of direction.
- Solid isosurface animations offer 6 cutoff levels for finer detail.
- Automatically hide time-data striplogs with no data for the sampling date.
- Processing speed has been improved by 30%
Other Map and Diagram Features
- Borehole Location Maps – Display maps symbols from the database, or used fixed symbols.
- 3D Cylinders – Specify the number of sides in 3D cylindrical entities (such as logs) for faster display and smaller export.
- Display multiple surface profile polylines (such as ground surface AND water table) in cross sections.
Reporting Features
- Create a report that lists the change in mass of a contaminant over time, from a list of time-specific geochemical solid models.
- Restrict graphs and reports for subsurface quantitative data based on lithology types or stratigraphic units.
- Output a list of files/entries in the Project Manager.
- New report formatting and export options.

三種版本介紹
RockWorks is offered with three different feature levels: Basic, Standard, and Advanced. Which is right for you?
All three levels include the RockWorks Datasheet and all of its tools for mapping XYZ data, modeling XYZG points, creating stereonets and rose diagrams, creating Piper and Stiff diagrams, creating animations, and much MUCH more. This is the general RockWorks “toolbox.”
All three levels offer access to the new RockWorks Playlist for program automation. Just click a button in any program window to add it, and its current settings, to the playlist, Build as many playlists as you want. Basic and Standard licenses can have up to 5 items in each playlist; Advanced licenses can have unlimited items.
All three levels can define 3D faults to apply to surface and solid modeling. Basic and Standard licenses can have up to 3 faults per project; Advanced licenses can have unlimited faults.
All three levels also include the Borehole Manager and its local database for storing and managing borehole-based data.
- With Basic, the borehole processing tools are limited to borehole location maps, 2D and 3D strip logs, and striplog profiles and cross sections. Simple correlation panels are offered for Stratigraphy, I-Data, and P-Data in 2D section diagrams, but otherwise the borehole visualization is limited to observed data – no modeling.
- With Standard, you get all of the modeling tools for the subsurface data offered in the Lithology, Stratigraphy, I-Data, T-Data, P-Data, Fractures, Aquifers, and Vectors menus, and all of the 2D and 3D diagrams and maps these menus contain.
- With Advanced, you can connect to a SQL-Server database on a network, run command scripts to for advanced program automation. You also have access to the tools in the well Production menu, and can import commercial PLSS land grids,
