Modeling

EdgeFEM3DwPrec ver. 2017, Release March 2018. Release March 2018. The program provides frequency-domain finite-element modeling of electric field responses in 3D anisotropic conductive medium. The program user interface is the same as EdgeFEM3D (Cai and Zhdanov, 2016). The crucial difference between the two programs is that EdgeFEM3DwPrec is leveraged with Green’s Function (GF) and contraction operator (CO) preconditioners (Yavich and Zhdanov, 2016), while EdgeFEM3D uses simple Jacobi preconditioner. Consequently, EdgeFEM3DwPrec provides much faster modeling than EdgeFEM3D. The medium is assumed to be formed by a layered background and finite number of rectangular inclusions. The secondary field approach (Zhdanov, 2017) is implemented; thus sources are incorporated via the background field. The latter is computed with the green3d module. The finite-element grid is assumed to be rectangular and nonuniform. We appreciate that more general hexahedral grids might be more attractive for modeling of complex geological structures; we thus plan to extend this code respectively in the future..

FEMTet3D ver. 2016, Release March 2017. The FEMTet3D is a MATLAB software package for 3D numerical modeling of controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data using the edge-based finite element method (Cai et al., 2015). The package solves the low frequency Maxwell’s equations for an anomalous electric field (Zhdanov, 2009). The software adopts unstructured tetrahedral discretization of the subsurface to simulate the complex geometries. The algorithm is capable of solving the diffusive EM problem in anisotropic medium. The background electromagnetic field is calculated using CEMI Green3D
software which is based on the fast Hankel transform (Anderson, 1989; Guptasarma and Singh, 1997). The sparse finite element system of equations is solved using MKL Pardiso, which is a parallelized multifrontal direct solver. Please refer to the FEMTet3D manual and examples for running the algorithm.

PIE3D ver. 2015, Release March 2016. The PIE3D ver. 2016 is parallel EM forward modeling software based on the IE method. PIE3D ver. 2016 is designed for distributed memory machines (e.g., PC clusters) and is portable on any computer that supports message passing interface (MPI). This code simulates frequency-domain EM responses of multiple-domain (MD) 3D anomalous resistivity structures in a horizontally layered medium.
For this release the functionality remains the same, except for a few minor bug fixes both in PIE3D and in GREEN3D. The major improvement is providing binaries for the Windows and Linux 64 bit, including all the external libraries and tools. Therefore PIE3D can run without any effort spent on installing external packages. The binaries have been tested on Windows 7 and 10 and on CentOS 6 and 7, Ubuntu 14.04, and Debian 8.

EdgeHexTop ver. 2015, release March 2016. The EdgeHexTop is a MATLAB software package for 3D numerical modeling of controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data using edge-based finite element method (Cai et al., 2015). The package solves the low frequency Maxwell's equation for a secondary electric field (Zhdanov, 2009). Compared to our previous release, this version of the code uses a distorted hexahedral mesh to account for topography and bathymetry effects. The algorithm is capable of solving the diffusive EM problem in an anisotropic medium. The background electromagnetic field is calculated using our Green3d software, which is based on the fast Hankel transform (Anderson, 1989; Guptasarma and Singh, 1997). The sparse finite element system of equations is solved using the quasi-minimum residual method with a simple and effective Jacobian preconditioner.

FDIE3D ver. 2015, release March 2016. The FDIE3D is a MATLAB software package for 3D numerical modeling and controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data using the hybrid finite difference (FD) and integral equation (IE) method (Yoon et al., 2015). This hybrid FD-IE method solves the low frequency Maxwell's equations for anomalous electric fields using FD approximation on the staggered grid (Newman and Alumbaugh, 1995), and calculates the EM fields at the receiver positions based on the Green's tensor approach. This approach makes it possible to compute the fields at the receivers accurately without mesh refinement near the receiver or the source positions. The sparse finite difference system of equations is solved using the quasi-minimum residual method with a Jacobian preconditioner.

TSEMRSA ver. 2017, Release March 2018. Subsurface targets, hydrocarbon reservoirs or ores and mineral deposits for example, are usually characterized by different electric conductivities with the bedrocks or sediments. An induced anomalous electromagnetic field will be generated by the targets when they are excited by an external electromagnetic field. The anomalous field manifests itself as a fast and good indication of the location and range of the subsurface targets. However, the anomalous field is usually weak and unrecognizable due to strong background field and environmental noise. The TSEMRSA software package is specially designed to enhance the response from the targets and provide a fast imaging tool to locate subsurface targets laterally. The concept of synthetic aperture is employed in this package to uplift the signal from the targets. The current 2017 version of the TSEMRSA software package is specially designed for the survey configuration of marine towed streamer electromagnetic method, but with the prospect of supporting airborne electromagnetic survey in future versions.

MultiGrav3D ver. 2017, Release March 2018. The MultiGrav3D is a PGI CUDA Fortran based software package for 3D multinary inversion of gravity and/or full tensor gradiometry (FTG) data. The code uses the multinary transformation of the model parameters to explicitly exploit the sharp contrasts of the density between the host media and anomalous targets in the inversion of gravity data. The multinary transformation is based on the given values of density and error functions. We also provide the option of an adaptive technique for selecting the corresponding standard deviations specifically designed for the multinary inversion of the field data. The code can also be run as a traditional inversion tool using minimum norm support by setting the standard deviation as some large value, for example, 0.5. The code is written in CUDA Fortran, which requires Nvidia graphics cards and CUDA toolkit installed. The code must be run with the PGI Fortran compiler.

MT3D ver. 2017, Release March 2018. The MT3D software package performs 3D inversion of magnetotelluric (MT) data. FullMT impedance tensor (Zxx, Zxy, Zyx, and Zyy) with the option of adding a magnetic tipper (Wzx and Wzy) can be inverted over inhomogeneous geological formations for 3D conductivity distribution and distortion matrix. This problem is associated with computing the 3D electromagnetic (EM) fields and Fréchet derivative used in minimization. We use a rigorous integral equation (IE) method for forward modeling (Zhdanov, 2002), and quasi-Born approximation for Fréchet derivative calculation (Gribenko and Zhdanov, 2007). MT data inversion is an ill-posed problem. To obtain a stable solution we apply the Tikhonov regularization method (Zhdanov, 2002, 2015). The inversion is based on the Gauss-Newton method in data space (Gribenko and Zhdanov, 2017).

JOINT3D ver. 2016, Release March 2017. The JOINT3D is a MATLAB software package for 3D joint inversion of potential field and airborne electromagnetic (EM) data using Gramian constraints (Zhdanov et al., 2012). The packages is capable for either direct or structural correlation between two physical properties, e.g., density and log of conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and log of conductivity. In the potential field forward modeling, we discretize the modeling domain into a set of rectangular prisms and evaluate the volume integral in each prism using single-point Gaussian integration. The airborne EM forward modeling and Fréchet computation are based on the integral equation method (Hohmann, 1975) and quasi-born approximation (Gribenko and Zhdanov, 2007), respectively. The package is compatible with both minimum norm and maximum smooth stabilizers. We solve the joint inversion problem using the regularized conjugate gradient method (Zhdanov, 2002). Please refer to the JOINT3D manual and examples for running the algorithm.

GRAVMTBASE ver. 2016, Release March 2017. The GRAVMTBASE is a MATLAB joint inversion software package for depth to basement estimation using gravity and electromagnetic (e.g., MT) data (Cai and Zhdanov, 2015a, 2015b; Cai and Zhdanov, 2016). The software using Cauchy-type integral transform and integral equation methods for the modeling of gravity and MT data, respectively. The algorithm discretizes the interface between the sediments and basement rocks. In the inversion, the depth to basement and the physical property contrast (e.g., density contrast, conductivity values) between sediment and basement will be recovered simultaneously. The joint inversion can reduce the uncertainty comparing to the separate inversion of either gravity or MT data.
Please refer to the GRAVMTBASE manual and examples for running the algorithm.

JOINT3D ver. 2015,Released March 2016. The JOINT3D software package performs 3D joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data. It works for any combination of the gravity (Gx, Gy, Gz, Gxx, Gyy, Gzz, Gxy, Gzx, Gzy, Gd) and magnetic components (TMI, Hx, Hy, Hz). The joint inversion code uses the Gramian constraints (Zhdanov et al., 2012) to enhance either direct or structural correlations between two physical properties, which are the density and magnetic susceptibility or the density and magnetization vector, depending on the existence or not of remanent magnetization. We discretize the modeling domain into a set of rectangular prisms and evaluate the volume integral in each prism using single-point Gaussian integration in the forward modeling and Fréchet computation. The code is compatible with both minimum norm and maximum smooth stabilizers. We solve the joint inversion problem using the regularized conjugate gradient method (Zhdanov, 2002).

MCSEM3D ver. 2012, Release March 2013. Matlab software package for 3D inversion of the marine controlled source electromagnetic (MCSEM) data. The predicted data are calculated rigorously by the PIE3D integral equation (IE) modeling code. The fast Fréchet derivative computation is based on the quasi-Born (QB) approximation (Gribenko et al., 2010). The standard approach of minimizing the Tikhonov parametric functional (Tikhonov and Arsenin, 1977) is realized in the code. The regularized conjugategradient method with re-weightings and adaptive regularization is used for parametric functional minimization (Zhdanov, 2002). At the first stage, the code uses a minimum norm stabilizer, minimum gradient stabilizers, or their combination, which produces smooth conductivity distributions (Gribenko and Zhdanov, 2011). At the consequent stages (re-weightings), the user has a choice of minimum norm, minimum support (Portniaguine and Zhdanov, 1999), minimum vertical support (Zhdanov et al., 2007) stabilizers, or their combination. Appropriate selection of the stabilizing functional allows the user to find a solution with sharp geoelectrical boundaries.
Unlike the previous versions, the code allows several transmitter lines with inline MCSEMdata. The code uses the parallel version of the 3D electromagnetic (EM) forward modeling code (PIE3D). MCSEM3D is written in the MATLAB language for the versions 2006b or later. MATLAB license is required to run MCSEM3D. MCSEM3D is platform independent.,

PF3D ver. 2011, Release March 2012. The PF3D ver. 2011 is a MATLAB software package for 3D modeling and inversion of potential field data which includes magnetic field, magnetic gradient tensor components, gravity field, and gravity gradient tensor components. The code is designed for 3D inversion of the data collected on a variable surface, including the option for joint inversion of the different gravity or magnetic field and tensor field components. For inversion, the code uses the approach known as the re-weighted regularized conjugant gradient method, or RRCG method, with focusing stabilizers to produce compact geophysical images. It also utilizes a technique to naturally impose model constraints by computing iterations in the space of logarithmic model parameters.

CauchyGrav3D ver. 2014, Release March 2015. The CauchyGrav3D ver. 2014 is a MATLAB software package for 3D modeling and inversion of gravity data caused by a density contrast interface model. The code uses a novel approach based on 3D analogs of Cauchy type integrals for the modeling and inversion of gravity and gravity gradiometry data caused by the density contrast model (Zhdanov, 1988; Cai and Zhdanov, 2014, 2015). The code can be used in Windows or Linux machine with MATLAB installed. For this release, the density contrast is assumed to be a given constant in the inversion. The code outputs the depth to basement. This package contains two main programs for forward modeling and inversion. The program Cauchy3DFWD is the program for forward modeling, while the program Cauchy3DInv is for inversion.
