3D Modeling

EMIGMA offers traditional magnetic modeling via an internal magnetization vector parallel to the Earths' field but this is only the beginning of its extensive modeling capabilities.

Our magnetic LN algorithm is an extension to the current gathering LN algorithm for prisms or polyhedra to include magnetic field gathering effects due to induced magnetization.

This implementation of DC magnetic modeling is unlike the majority of techniques available at present. By extending the LN technique to magnetic effects, we are able to model interactions not only between multiple bodies, but also within a single body (so-called demagnetization effects).

Magnetic body interactions are also allowed with the traditional, internal weak (Born) induced field. The inclusion of remanent magnetization is also allowed.

All techniques are rapid in 3D as the responses are solved analytically thus providing extremely precise solutions for total field, vectors or derivatives.

Some of the key features include:

• Modeling of large data sets
• Fast and accurate 3D or 2D (long strike) simulations including model suite generation and batch mode features
• Unlimited prism and polyhedra targets
  NEW Polyhedra: pipes (hollow cylinders with or without lids), ellipsoids, shells, bullets, landmines, drums, spheres, general polyhedra...
• Geophysical model building tool in 3D space
• Easy import of models from DXF (AutoCAD), ASC (Vulcan) and STR (Surpac) formats and 'export' to these formats - NEW FEATURE
• Applications for UXO, Engineering and Archeological studies as well as Geotechnical investigations
