A data-structure used to describe three-dimensional geological bodies based on borehole data

In view of the shortcomings of bore and section data-based modeling,, a new kind of data structure is proposed in this paper to describe three-dimensional geological body structure based on borehole data. Based on OpenGL library, the 3D geological modeling and visualization of complex geologic body were achieved in Visual C ++ 6.0. Experimental data test shows that the data-structure not only can improve modeling efficiency and update data automatically, but also can prove the functions of three-dimensional spatial intersection, query, and analysis. It is useful for the design of 3D geological modeling and visualization software and the promotion of the informatization construction in mine.
