The GOCAD® Mining Suite is the most advanced, easy-to-use, and cost-effective 3D earth modelling system available to the mining, geotechnical, and environmental industries. It is an extension of Paradigm™ GOCAD®, the earth modelling standard in the oil and gas industry.
Leveraging very significant energy industry R&D investments in earth modelling is what sets the GOCAD Mining Suite a generation ahead of conventional mining-industry geoscience software. The GOCAD Mining Suite brings to any earth modelling challenge the combined commitment of Paradigm, Mira Geoscience, the academic GOCAD Research Consortium of approximately 20 corporations and 100 universities, and a client base that spans the energy and mining industries.
Features include highly sophisticated yet simple to understand geological modelling, powerfully interactive 3D editing, enormous power in structural modelling, surface (wireframe) construction, stratigraphic and regular block modelling, and geostatistics. Mining Suite modules include a range of mining-specific i/o filters and utilities, a 3D-GIS spatial analysis and query environment, natural connections to geologically-constrained geophysical forward modelling and inversion, multi-disciplinary 3D expert-system exploration targeting, and geotechnical hazard estimation and monitoring.
Models created with the GOCAD Mining Suite can be shared amongst a team or a company using the PDF3D export functionality. The output is a 3D PDF document that captures elements of the GOCAD model. The user can spin, turn on and off objects and change their rendering mode. All that using the world’s most popular free viewer, Acrobat Reader. Open a 3D PDF GOCAD earth model
