Tensor Research ModelVision 18.0 is the latest major release of the company’s flagship 3D potential field modeling and inversion software, designed for gravity and magnetic interpretation across mineral exploration, oil and gas, engineering, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection .
Key New Features in Version 18.0
Modernised Help System with AI Assistant
The help system has been completely rebuilt for web-based full-text search, with an experimental AI Assistant (AnswerGenius) that uses a ChatGPT-style LLM trained on Tensor Research’s documentation. Local help and PDF guides remain available for offline use .
New Calculator Engine
The calculator, which operates on lines, grids, points, and drillholes, now has a more powerful computation engine with an extended function list, logic branching, and multi-line scripting. Scripts can be reused across new survey datasets .
Depth Module: AutoMag & QuickDepth
A new module for expert depth interpretation over large areas. AutoMag handles large-scale automated depth estimation for semi-linear formations, while QuickDepth focuses on specific anomalies with a wider range of body types and fast depth estimation methods .
Point-to-Body Conversion Expansion
The tool for creating models from data points now supports tabular, sphere, ellipsoid, circular pipe, and elliptical pipe body types. Model point data can be built in Excel, Python, or MATLAB for much faster multi-body model creation .
Visualisation Enhancements
New structural symbols for points, continuous/discrete colour legends with range and increment controls, colour contouring, a common multi-map crosshair for linked pan/zoom, and Apply buttons added to many property dialogs .
