Geological events in pynoddy: organisation and adpatiation ========================================================== We will here describe how the single geological events of a Noddy history are organised within pynoddy. We will then evaluate in some more detail how aspects of events can be adapted and their effect evaluated. .. code:: python from IPython.core.display import HTML css_file = 'pynoddy.css' HTML(open(css_file, "r").read()) .. raw:: html .. code:: python %matplotlib inline Loading events from a Noddy history ----------------------------------- In the current set-up of pynoddy, we always start with a pre-defined Noddy history loaded from a file, and then change aspects of the history and the single events. The first step is therefore to load the history file and to extract the single geological events. This is done automatically as default when loading the history file into the History object: .. code:: python import sys, os import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # adjust some settings for matplotlib from matplotlib import rcParams # print rcParams rcParams['font.size'] = 15 # determine path of repository to set paths corretly below repo_path = os.path.realpath('../..') import pynoddy import pynoddy.history import pynoddy.events import pynoddy.output reload(pynoddy) :: .. code:: python # Change to sandbox directory to store results os.chdir(os.path.join(repo_path, 'sandbox')) # Path to exmaple directory in this repository example_directory = os.path.join(repo_path,'examples') # Compute noddy model for history file history = 'simple_two_faults.his' history_ori = os.path.join(example_directory, history) output_name = 'noddy_out' reload(pynoddy.history) reload(pynoddy.events) H1 = pynoddy.history.NoddyHistory(history_ori) # Before we do anything else, let's actually define the cube size here to # adjust the resolution for all subsequent examples H1.change_cube_size(100) # compute model - note: not strictly required, here just to ensure changed cube size H1.write_history(history) pynoddy.compute_model(history, output_name) :: '' Events are stored in the object dictionary "events" (who would have thought), where the key corresponds to the position in the timeline: .. code:: python H1.events :: {1: , 2: , 3: } We can see here that three events are defined in the history. Events are organised as objects themselves, containing all the relevant properties and information about the events. For example, the second fault event is defined as: .. code:: python H1.events[3].properties :: {'Amplitude': 2000.0, 'Blue': 0.0, 'Color Name': 'Custom Colour 5', 'Cyl Index': 0.0, 'Dip': 60.0, 'Dip Direction': 270.0, 'Geometry': 'Translation', 'Green': 0.0, 'Movement': 'Hanging Wall', 'Pitch': 90.0, 'Profile Pitch': 90.0, 'Radius': 1000.0, 'Red': 254.0, 'Rotation': 30.0, 'Slip': 1000.0, 'X': 5500.0, 'XAxis': 2000.0, 'Y': 7000.0, 'YAxis': 2000.0, 'Z': 5000.0, 'ZAxis': 2000.0} Changing aspects of geological events ------------------------------------- So what we now want to do, of course, is to change aspects of these events and to evaluate the effect on the resulting geological model. Parameters can directly be updated in the properties dictionary: .. code:: python H1 = pynoddy.history.NoddyHistory(history_ori) # get the original dip of the fault dip_ori = H1.events[3].properties['Dip'] # add 10 degrees to dip add_dip = -10 dip_new = dip_ori + add_dip # and assign back to properties dictionary: H1.events[3].properties['Dip'] = dip_new # H1.events[2].properties['Dip'] = dip_new1 .. code:: python new_history = "dip_changed" new_output = "dip_changed_out" H1.write_history(new_history) pynoddy.compute_model(new_history, new_output) # load output from both models NO1 = pynoddy.output.NoddyOutput(output_name) NO2 = pynoddy.output.NoddyOutput(new_output) # create basic figure layout fig = plt.figure(figsize = (15,5)) ax1 = fig.add_subplot(121) ax2 = fig.add_subplot(122) NO1.plot_section('y', position=0, ax = ax1, colorbar=False, title="Dip = %.0f" % dip_ori, savefig=True, fig_filename ="tmp.eps") NO2.plot_section('y', position=1, ax = ax2, colorbar=False, title="Dip = %.0f" % dip_new) plt.show() .. figure:: 3-Events_files/3-Events_13_0.png :alt: png png Changing the order of geological events --------------------------------------- The geological history is parameterised as single events in a timeline. Changing the order of events can be performed with two basic methods: 1. Swapping two events with a simple command 2. Adjusting the entire timeline with a complete remapping of events The first method is probably the most useful to test how a simple change in the order of events will effect the final geological model. We will use it here with our example to test how the model would change if the timing of the faults is swapped. The method to swap two geological events is defined on the level of the history object: .. code:: python H1 = pynoddy.history.NoddyHistory(history_ori) .. code:: python # The names of the two fault events defined in the history file are: print H1.events[2].name print H1.events[3].name :: Fault2 Fault1 We now swap the position of two events in the kinematic history. For this purpose, a high-level function can directly be used: .. code:: python # Now: swap the events: H1.swap_events(2,3) .. code:: python # And let's check if this is correctly relfected in the events order now: print H1.events[2].name print H1.events[3].name :: Fault1 Fault2 Now let's create a new history file and evaluate the effect of the changed order in a cross section view: .. code:: python new_history = "faults_changed_order.his" new_output = "faults_out" H1.write_history(new_history) pynoddy.compute_model(new_history, new_output) :: '' .. code:: python reload(pynoddy.output) # Load and compare both models NO1 = pynoddy.output.NoddyOutput(output_name) NO2 = pynoddy.output.NoddyOutput(new_output) # create basic figure layout fig = plt.figure(figsize = (15,5)) ax1 = fig.add_subplot(121) ax2 = fig.add_subplot(122) NO1.plot_section('y', ax = ax1, colorbar=False, title="Model 1") NO2.plot_section('y', ax = ax2, colorbar=False, title="Model 2") plt.show() .. figure:: 3-Events_files/3-Events_22_0.png :alt: png png Determining the stratigraphic difference between two models ----------------------------------------------------------- Just as another quick example of a possible application of pynoddy to evaluate aspects that are not simply possible with, for example, the GUI version of Noddy itself. In the last example with the changed order of the faults, we might be interested to determine where in space this change had an effect. We can test this quite simply using the ``NoddyOutput`` objects. The geology data is stored in the ``NoddyOutput.block`` attribute. To evaluate the difference between two models, we can therefore simply compute: .. code:: python diff = (NO2.block - NO1.block) And create a simple visualisation of the difference in a slice plot with: .. code:: python fig = plt.figure(figsize = (5,3)) ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.imshow(diff[:,10,:].transpose(), interpolation='nearest', cmap = "RdBu", origin = 'lower left') :: .. figure:: 3-Events_files/3-Events_26_1.png :alt: png png (Adding a meaningful title and axis labels to the plot is left to the reader as simple excercise :-) Future versions of pynoddy might provide an automatic implementation for this step...) Again, we may want to visualise results in 3-D. We can use the ``export_to_vtk``-function as before, but now assing the data array to be exported as the calulcated differnce field: .. code:: python NO1.export_to_vtk(vtk_filename = "model_diff", data = diff) A 3-D view of the difference plot is presented below. .. figure:: 3-Events_files/diff_3d_3.png :alt: 3-D visualisation of stratigraphic id difference 3-D visualisation of stratigraphic id difference
