Surpac Structural Suite Part 1 – Key Functions December 5, 2018 By Ross Pemberton (https://blogs.3ds.com/geovia/author/rosspemberton/) The modelling of structural geology is often an over-looked, misunderstood and under-utilized facet of the mining process, where deeper knowledge of structural trends can provide vital insights into design considerations, safety, ore genesis and structural controls on mineralization. With the release of the GEOVIA Surpac 6.9 Structural Suite, geologists now have the capability to visualise, interpret and plot these trends. The key benefits and use cases of this toolset are outlined in the GEOVIA Blog post, entitled ‘Extending Geology Modeling for Structural Geologists with the Surpac Structural Suite (https://blogs.3ds.com/geovia/extending-geology-modeling-for-structural-geologistswith-the-surpac-structural-suite/)’.

(https://blogs.3ds.com/geovia/wp-content/s/sites/21/2018/12/1-Surpac-Structural-Suite-Part1-e1544019393707.jpg) *Structural symbols visualising the dip of a bedding plane across an area. (Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2013.) In part 1 of this 3 part GEOVIA blog post series we will discuss some of the key functions available within the Surpac Structural Suite of tools. Today we will look at its location within GEOVIA Surpac software (version 6.9 or newer) and explain in detail the Data visualizer function. The Structural Suite toolset is located under the Database menu > Structural Suite submenu. It contains 24 functions. 1) HOW TO DISPLAY STRUCTURAL MEASUREMENTS IN GEOVIA SURPAC The featured function in this post, is the Data Visualizer which will require a Surpac drillhole database to be open before use. Downhole and surface structural measurements can be visualised with this function following the workflow below: a. For downhole structural measurements: Firstly, downhole structural measurements should be stored within the database inside a point table before starting the Data Visualizer function. The mandatory fields within this table are hole_id and depth_to. Optional field examples include: dip, dip_direction, strike, alpha and beta depth_to beta. Example:

b. For surface structural measurements: Surface structural measurements should be stored within the database inside a discrete table before starting the Data Visualizer function. The mandatory fields within this table are samp_id, x, y and z. z Optional field examples include: dip, dip_direction, strike, alpha and beta. beta Example:
(https://blogs.3ds.com/geovia/wp-content/s/sites/21/2018/12/3-Surpac-Structural-Suite-Part1.png) c. Then launch Structural Suite > Data Visualizer The following form will be displayed, navigate through the tabs left to right. i. On the first tab Data Source select the table containing the structural measurements and select the preferred directional notation and fields that will orientate the structural symbols (e.g. dip and dip_direction).

ii. The second tab Constraints is optional and can be disabled by unticking Define Constraints. Constraints This tab allows the to constrain which symbols are displayed on screen by using drillhole or data table constraints. iii. On the third tab choose between simple and advanced styles for the structural symbols. These settings control the symbol shape, size and application (e.g. 3D or 2D). To disable symbols untick Create symbols. Examples of simple and advanced styling are given below: symbols

(https://blogs.3ds.com/geovia/wp-content/s/sites/21/2018/12/6-Surpac-Structural-Suite-Part1.png) * Example of advanced styling TIP: Please note custom symbols can be created and loaded into the Data Visualizer function by saving the corresponding symbol as a string file into this location: C:\s\Public\GEOVIA\Surpac\<Surpac_version>\share\resource\scripts\structural_suite\symbols’. When saving the symbol into string file format, the Purpose field in the save form must be filled, as this will be the name displayed in the Symbol drop down menu. The symbol itself should be digitised in plan view and be ~1m across in size (to be consist with the scaling convention of the other symbols). GEOVIA Surpac must be restarted before the new symbol will appear in the function. iv. On the fourth tab Coloring Styles, Styles select the field to color by and the Autostyle to use (e.g. Rainbow). To disable colouring untick Use Coloring.
