GOCAD

GOCAD = Geologically Oriented Computer Aided Design

Summary

This is a 3d package for visualization, and manipualtion of 3d objects including points, curves, surfaces, and volumes. Gocad can read, display, and manipulate seismic data in usp and dds formats. The program is under developement by the GOCAD industrial consortium with significant membership from NANCY France. Gocad provides for viewing, creating, and modifying sets of points, curves, surfaces, and volumes. The gocad maintanance group has a web page and is eager to make arrangements to help you learn gocad, or modify gocad to solve your problems. To start the Amoco verson of gocad type the command "amoco_gocad" on the command line of a SGI or UltraSparc workstation. It is useful to start gocad from the directory containing your data. Otherwise you will often be required to input the path to your data. If you wish to run gocad on a sparc 2 or 10, rlogin in to an SGI or ultrasparc, set the DISPLAY environment variable to display on your workstation, and then execute gocad with the command line "amoco_gocad mesagl". An elaborate
Gocad User Manual and Howto facility is available for gocad.
