EMIGMA for FEM

The FEM software package supports Ground and Borehole (Premium) FEM and is available as an add-on to other Premium series software licenses.

3D Modelling

Ground FEM allows for various geophysical survey configurations. Coil pairs can be horizontal coplanar (EM31/34/38,Gem2, AEM, Max-Min), vertical coplanar (EM31/34/38,Gem2), horizontal co-axial (AEM), broadside co-axial (fixed-wing AEM, EM38), null-coupled (DualEM), vertical co-axial plus virtually any configuration that you may desire. The transmitter and receiver can be housed in the same case or separated by 10s to 100s of meters. Depending on the system, single or multiple frequencies are sampled. Borehole FEM includes both fixed and moving configurations. The transmitter is either a large loop set on the surface ground with the receiver moved in the borehole or a dipole moved along with a 3-component receiver in the same borehole at a constant separation. The cross-hole configuration is also available.
