ModelVision 18, developed by Tensor Research, is an advanced 3D magnetic and gravity modeling software designed for geophysical and potential field exploration. It is widely used in mineral exploration, diamond exploration, petroleum exploration, environmental geophysics, engineering, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and underground hazard assessment. The software provides a comprehensive interpretation environment, enabling geophysicists to visualize, analyze, model, and invert potential field data with high precision. Below is a detailed overview based on available information.
Key Features of ModelVision 18:
2D/3D Modeling: Supports both 2D and 3D modeling of magnetic and gravity data, allowing for detailed subsurface interpretation.
3D Geology Inversion: Uses advanced inversion techniques to derive geological structures from potential field data, including full tensor modeling for next-generation magnetometers.
Mapping and Imaging: Offers tools for creating high-quality maps and visualizations, including 3D vector representations of magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) to analyze target depth and vector convergence.
Processing and Utilities: Includes a wide range of import/export formats, gridding, filtering, and numerical manipulation tools, as well as survey simulation tools for planning gravity and magnetic surveys with tensor components.
Specialized Wizards:
QuickInvert: Automates inversion processes for rapid results.
QuickDepth: Estimates depth to magnetic sources without requiring inversion, suitable for isolated anomalies.
AutoMag: Provides rapid magnetic depth-to-basement estimation, bridging automated and interactive modeling.
Target Wizard: Simplifies interpretation by packaging multiple processes into a few steps.
UBC Model-Mesh Designer Extension: Facilitates integration with UBC-GIF voxel models for advanced 3D modeling.
Rock Property and Depth Mapping: Uses AI-driven methods to build large-scale, geologically constrained magnetic models, with RockMod for comparing modeled and laboratory-measured rock properties.
Flexible Sensor Combinations: Supports various sensor types, including full tensor gravity and magnetic systems, cross-wing gradient, fluxgate, and total magnetic field instruments.
Applications:
Models single-target anomalies, plunging pipes, orebodies, salt domes, and complex multi-source anomalies.
Estimates depth to basement (two-layer or tabular body models).
Supports regional cross-sections and 3D basin models.
Integration: Seamlessly integrates with GIS applications, geophysical mapping software, and industry-standard tools like Discover PA, QuickMag, and Datamine Discover.
