Product Highlight- Voxler 3: WellRender to create a Pipe Network

Golden Software Newsletter - Issue 73: Create a Pipe Network with Didger & Voxler

One of the really unique features of Golden Software's 3D data visualization solution, Voxler 3, is its utility to create three dimensional images that include more than the geologic data that it was designed to display. This Newsletter Article describes using Volxer's WellRender module to render cylindrical features to display storage tank complexes, pipelines, and other plumbing networks like the image below.

Also, you can use Voxler to display a model of your underground and surficial plumbing components along with the geologic data to highlight the possible interaction of the two components. For example, visualizing a storage tank and pipe network along with subsurface contamination plume data, could be very useful in determining where a contaminant plume originated, or where it migh have downgradient imapacts.

After a bit of playing around I was able to render a 3D pipe using Northing, Easting, and Elevation data in Voxler 4. From there I was able to assign values along the the pipe using 'From/To logs' option and drop in some test data to see if I could simulate stress along a pipe. The process is not listed anywhere but so far the results seem to be very nice. It would be wonderful if I could figure out a way to import a DXF file of a particular site to simulate the pipe in itsl area. If anyone has a way to do this, or how to create an .grd file using a DXF with Voxler, Grapher or Surfer please let me know.
