NEW SOFTWARE - Midland Valley 3DMove

The Department of Geological Sciences has been awarded seven licenses for the Midland Valley software 3DMove. 3DMove is the world’s leading 3D software tool for structural restoration, validation and analysis. 3dMove uses the principles of structural geology to help build models where little data exists, and to use the geological evolution of the model to define parameters for further analysis.

The unique advantage of 3DMove, when compared with other model building software, is that it takes into account geological time. Build valid models and analyse your ideas about how the structure developed through geological time with present day & past time steps providing both qualitative & quantitative analysis.The unique advantage of 3DMove, when compared with other model building software, is that it takes into account geological time.

One of the many ways this software will be used is teach students techniques to create more accurate models, reducing risk and improve productivity of gas and oil exploration/production.
