Computer Data Structure for Geological Entities Modelling Based on Oo-Solid Model

In the long evolution of the earth formation often form a complex geological structure, modeling for these complex geological entities (such as thinning-out, bifurcation, reverse, etc.) still require in-depth 3D modeling study. Because of discontinuity, complexity and uncertainty of distribution of 3D geo-objects, some models only are suitable for regular, continuous and relatively simple spatial objects, and some are suitable for discontinue, complex and uncertain geo-objects, but some improvements on these models, such as, updating of model, maintenance of topological and seamless integration between models, are still to be made. OO-Solid model, put forward by writer in 2002, is an object- oriented topological model based on sections. The OO-Solid Model is an object-oriented 3D topologic data model based on component for geology modeling with fully considering the topological relations between geological objects and its geometric primitives, Comparatively, it accords with the actual requirements of three-dimensional geological modeling. The key issue of 3D geology modeling is the 3D data model. Some data models are suitable for discontinue, complex and uncertain geo-objects, but the OO-Solid model is an object-oriented 3D topologic data model based on component for geology modeling with fully considering the topological relations between geological objects and its geometric primitives. OO-Solid model and data structure are designed. At last, 3D complex geological entities modeling based on OO-Solid are studied in this paper. These study is important and one of the core techniques for the 3DGM.
