New Community Champion - Jack Chanmala - Geophysics
Hey everyone, My name is Jack Chanmala, and I’m excited to join this community! I’ve spent my career in exploration geophysics and mining, working across the spectrum—from junior exploration companies running drill rigs to major mining operations like Rio Tinto, where I focused on iron ore projects. Over the years, I’ve…

Creating GM with both surficial lithologic map and borehole lithology
An ongoing problem that I am trying to solve is: how can I create a geological model (GM) that uses borehole lithologic and also uses an existing surficial lithologic map (vector polygons; e.g., shapefile)? I want the resulting GM to be informed by the surficial map in areas where boreholes are sparse, and also accurately…

Exporting 3D models
Loving the new version of Visible Geology and have been using it since Rowan first released it over a decade ago. I'm wondering if it would be possible to have an option to export the 3D models generated to a .3mf (or other format) for 3D printing? I integrate Visible Geology in my teaching and primarily keep things…

Updated System Requirements
As the recommended system requirements haven't been updated since 2019, (when the recommended Graphics card and processor were released. Do anyone have any recommendations on the hardware for an optimal system? We are running some data heavy models which are taking days to process. I would like to build a dedicated system…

Geodist.dll error using python with the Geosoft 2024.2 installation
Dear community. After upgrading to Geosoft 2024.2 I am getting this error when initiating a GX instance: GXException: GX services are not available. Unable to load C:\Program Files\Geosoft\Desktop Applications\bin\geodist.dll The error comes when running my python code from my IDE (Spyder) or Matlab but not when running…

How to Install Oasis Montaj for Training?
I downloaded Oasis Montaj 2024.2 (Geosoft 2024.2.0 Setup 26 2024.11.30.exe). Unfortunately, the Geosoft viewer does not provide the required functions to complete the Oasis Montaj training courses. Only the most fundamental operations are possible (create project, save project, etc.). During the installation I can only…

Select lithology colours in a combined model of a tunnel
Hi LF community, I've made a Combined Model of a twin tunnel to show the lithology inside it. The colour legend is the same as the BH's intervals. When trying to separate the tunnels to build a combined model of each one individually, the colouring of each unit is not the same as the "original" ones. Is there a possibility…

Is it possible to model capillary fringe with Seep/W?
Dear all, I am working on a project where we need to model the creeping flow with capillarity. I am curious and want to know if GeoStudio Seep/W is able to give us the shape of phreatic surface , height of seepage face and width of capillary fringe? answers will be appreciated. Thanks SM

Leapfrog Geo Interval Selection Bug
In Leapfrog Geo, there's a repeatable bug where if the Interval Selection editor is forced to close by starting another editor and it also needs to save changes, then the visible Categories/Lithologies will be reverted (undesirably) to previously visible Categories/Lithologies. Here are the steps that I can recreate this…

How to use surface lithology (outcrops) to constrain surfaces
Hello, i'm new to leapfrog and I need some expert help. I'm working on a model consisting of basement (TCS+TPG) and Quaternary deposits (ac+af+gi). I'm working only with a geological map (no borehole at the moment). Below you can see the model with basement in brown and gi (glacial deposits) in turquoise. gi is modeled as…

Rock surface model, detect crossing with certain lithology
Hi I have created a rock surface model using "New mesh from offset points". The offset points are gathered from borehole data, at the soil-rock interface. As it is only the boreholes that are drilled in rock that is included, some of the boreholes which is only drilled in soil is passing trough the rock surface model. Is…

Structural beams and bars in non-linear analysis of QUAKE/W
I need to study the dynamic non-linear response of reinforced soil wall with anchors. Hence, I used structural beams for reinforcement and structural bars for anchors. However, there was error in the model which displays "Structural beams and bars cannot be specified with a non-linear analysis in QUAKE/W" What can be done…

Why am I seeing positive head above the water table in my seepage Model (SEEP/W)?
Hi All, I have a seepage model in SEEP/W where I am modeling a seepage flow due to storm surchage for a coastal flood wall. I'm looking at steady-state analyses (as an upper bound/worst case scenario with prolonged max flood water elevation) as well as transient analyses (with water surface rising/falling with storm and…

Two Identical Slope/W Models Returning Different Factors of Safety
I have two approximately identical slope/w models of an existing earthen embankment dam with different factors of safety. Both models consider a failure of the upstream slope of the embankment. The only difference between the two models is how the approximately same phreatic surface is input. "Model 1" has a phreatic…

MapInfo batch export XML format - cannot parse
Hi there, I am not a MapInfo user, but I would like to create an XML for batch import of spatial data. I have an XML that was not created by MapInfo, but rather by a standalone python code. When I try to import the XML (via , "GIS Data, Map and Photos" —> "Batch Import" —> From MapInfo" I get an error that Leapfrog Geo was…

Contact Surface Values
I am building deposit surfaces in a GM and i am getting bad results (segments of drill holes not included in the surface). When I display the contact surface values, some of the drill holes do not have any points at all or have incomplete points and that is why they are not being honored by the surface (or so I think). Can…

How do i get LF to interpolate better between borehole points
Good Day, i have attached an image of an issue i am having with LF. I am trying to create a geological model from borehole data. I have known points however LF does not interpolate between some of these points. See blue arrow in image. I have tried adding in manual manipulations using polylines shown with the block box on…

How to make contour map of coal seams floor SF, roof SR if a coal seam is model using vain system?
I'm doing model of big coal deposit that has 2 main coal seams that are intercalated with a lot of clay lenses. So I did my model using Vein System. I need to make a map of total coal thickness and seam roof and floor. How Can I do that from a Vein System volume model?

Grid normalisation
I want to normalise the existing values in grid to 0-1 i use the equation in grid math: G0 = (G1 - min(G1)) / (max(G1) - min(G1)) I also tried this G0 = (G1 - min(G1, G1)) / (max(G1, G1) - min(G1, G1)) But both do not work. please advice how to write the equation in grid math.

Calculate length, area and volume of each stretch in a tunnel
Dear all, I want to know how to calculate the length, area and volume of each stretch in a combined tunnel model. In other words, how to separate each stretch by the lithology used within the model, and show (either through a table or a report) its length, area and volume. Many thanks!!
