Block Model

BlockModel

Bases: GridObject

A BlockModel is considered cartesian/XYZ oriented with fixed cell size. The cells may not be contiguous and don't have to all be defined. The grid is considered cell-centered.

For instance, a block model can be of shape 5 x 3 x 2 but only have 3 cells defined at [1, 2, 1], [1, 3, 1] and [2, 3, 1].

Grid dimensions and cell sizes are inferred from the X, Y, Z geometry. The grid is assumed to be cartesian and to have a constant cell size.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	object name.	required
xyz	Optional[Data]	cell centers of the block model.	None
atol	float	absolute tolerance used to automatically calculate the cell dimension. It is the distance tolerance (same unit as xyz) to consider whether the dimensions of all cells can be considered equal. Defaults to 0.001.	0.001

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	Variable cell size is inferred. There is a single cell in one of the axes.

Example

import geolime as geo
import numpy as np
xyz = np.arange(30).reshape(10, 3)
bm = geo.BlockModel("MyBM", xyz)

convert_to_gis_object(name, properties=None, agg_methods=[AggregationMethod.SUM, AggregationMethod.MIN, AggregationMethod.MAX, AggregationMethod.MEAN], region=None, region_agg=None)

Create a new GISObject from the GeoRefObject. The original GeoRefObject is not modified.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	name of the GISObject to create.	required
properties	Optional[List[str]]	list of properties name to transfer to the GIS Object. Setting to None or empty list will select all existing properties.	None
agg_methods	List[Union[AggregationMethod, Callable]]	aggregation data methods. See Pandas - Group By to find out supported methods.	[SUM, MIN, MAX, MEAN]
region	Optional[str]	Object region or condition to select data from.	None
region_agg	Optional[RegionAggregationMethod]	Aggregation region method.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
GISObject	GeoLime GISObject.

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	'X' or 'Y' are part of the properties.
AttributeError	One of the aggregation methods is not supported.

delete_cells(region)

Delete cells in region.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
region	str	Region or condition to select cells.	required

downscale(name, discr)

Downscale the BlockModel by a given discretisation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	name of the newly created BlockModel.	required
discr	Vector	Discretisation of the new BlockModel.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
BlockModel	BlockModel object downscaled.

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	discr must be of dimension 3. discr must be composed of integers.

keep_only_cells(region)

Keep cells in region.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
region	str	Region or condition to select cells.	required

to_pyvista(properties=None)

Export BlockModel and selected properties to Pyvista UnstructuredGrid.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
properties	Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]	Property or list of properties to export to Pyvista.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
UnstructuredGrid	UnstructuredGrid object.
