Abstract
The invention features a method, computer system, and computer program for analyzing geological data stored on computer-readable media, including organizing the data to represent a plurality of sub-regions and a feature, and classifying the feature into a subset of the plurality of sub-regions. The method, computer system, and computer program analyze geological data stored on computer-readable media, including organizing the data to represent a plurality of sub-regions, and editing the sub-regions. The method, computer system, and computer program analyze geological data stored on computer-readable media, including organizing the data into a database, which includes a geometry part and a separate design part. The method, computer system, and computer program includes preserving the shape of a feature during classification and editing. The method, computer system, and computer program organize geological data to represent a region and subdivide the region into a first sub-region and a second sub-region with a boundary at a first location. The method, computer system, and computer program analyze geological data stored on computer-readable media, comprising organizing the data to represent a plurality of sub-regions; attaching a material property to each of the plurality of sub-regions; editing one sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions to produce a second plurality of sub-regions; and propagating the material property from the one sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions to the second plurality of sub-regions.
