When starting a new project and trying to identify the IGRF parameters by clicking on the IGRF map you may get an error stating that the igrf2010.dat file is not present. Error: Cannot open file C:\Program Files\Encom\Mvis 9.0\IGRF2010.dat Encom ModelVision looks for an epoch file every 5 yea ...
If when opening a ModelVision session the following error message appears: "ERROR: Failed to access Category: Correctly requested operation failed (Failed to access) Function: xvt_fsys_set_dir xvt_dlg_create_def xvt_app_create" This indicates that ModelVision is trying to draw something in a w ...
The following error message can appear upon start up of ModelVision Pro version 8.0 or earlier. If this message appears: go to File>Print Setup and set the default printer to a PDF printer source; install ModelVision version 9.0 and the error message will no longer appear "ERROR: MSG ...
In ModelVision the amplitude of the gravity or magnetic anomaly of a body is proportional to the difference between its property (density or magnetic susceptibility) and the background (density or magnetic susceptibility). If a body has the same property as background then it will generate no a ...
ModelVision Pro is our gravity and magnetic modeling package, which does have the capability to compute terrain corrections for zones of different density, assigned according to a geological map. This is performed by using the 3D Model Generator utility. Therefore if you want to model data using ...
The speed at which ModelVision Pro can model magnetic or gravity anomalies depends upon how many data points are being used in the session. Therefore to increase the modeling efficiency of the software it is advisable to isolate the area that is being modeled. Use the Clip Project toolbar butt ...
To compute the Magnetic Field (i.e. Total Intensity, Inclination and Declination) you must know the Latitude and Longitude of the project area. Access the Project Properties dialog from the File>Project Properties menu option and select the IGRF button on the right hand side of the dialog. C ...
The default background density and susceptibility values are set to 2.65 (mgal) and 0.0000 (cgs) respectively but can be changed by accessing the Model Parameters dialog from the project properties dialog, which is accessed from the File>Project Properties menu option. In the Project Propert ...
The default density and susceptibility units are set to mgal and cgs by default. These units can be changed by accessing the Project Properties dialog from the File>Project Properties menu option and changing the units for Mag Units and Grav Units.
Any external DXF or TKM (ModelVision Pro Format) file for a model can be imported into ModelVision Pro by using the Model>Import menu option. When importing a DXF file the ModelVision Topology Checker dialog will first appear providing a preview of the model and checking the integrity of the ...
The volume of a created tabular or polygonal body in ModelVision Pro is automatically calculated during the modeling process. The resultant value can be viewed in the Body Properties dialog. To access the Body Properties dialog double click the left mouse button on the target body in any view. ...
To show either synthetic or imported drillholes in a cross-section view access the X-section Configuration dialog by clicking on the right mouse button within the active cross-section window. Then select the Drillholes option located in the top right hand corner of the dialog and click on the A ...
To not display a survey database flight lines or base lines access the Map Configuration dialog by clicking on the right mouse button within the 2D Map window and deselect the tick boxes of Baselines and /or Flightlines in the Display section found in the middle on the right hand side of the di ...
