GOCAD™ - ISATIS Link

GOCAD™ provides a direct interface with ISATIS which enhances collaborative workflow between both softwares. At each stage of your project, you exchange data between software packages in a seamless way and benefit from ISATIS advanced geostatistics to improve the accuracy of your reservoir model and get a single robust reservoir model.

This free plug-in lets the user, with a few clicks, directly exchange datasets & grids between the two applications without any intermediate file.

Thanks to the Client-Server organization of the plug-in - based on our GTXserver access toolkit - an ISATIS user can access any of his ISATIS projects on the network, directly from the File -> Import Objects -> ISATIS menu in Gocad™. Conversely, it is just as easy to store GOCAD™ objects in an ISATIS project, thanks to the File -> Export Objects -> ISATIS menu.

Most GOCAD™ objects are handled by this plug-in: Voxets and Sgrids (transposed into ISATIS 3D Grids), 2D Grids, Curves (ISATIS Lines), and PointSets (ISATIS Points). Below is an example of 3D Grid & Lines that are loaded into GOCAD™ as Voxet & Curves.

Moreover, the plug-in allows also exporting simultaneously an SGrid and associated Data towards ISATIS, so that advanced Kriging and Simulation methods can be applied on properties directly inside a Paleo-environment stratigraphic grid. The results can then be recovered in GOCAD™, to display the properties in their current structural position.
