AGI EarthImager™ 3DCL

AGI EarthImager™ 3DCL is a three-dimensional resistivity and induced polarization (IP) inversion modeling software. It comes with the 32-bit basic version of EarthImager™ 3D along with the 64-bit 3DCL. 3DCL can access more than 2GB of memory space and carry out scalable parallel processing on a multi-core and/or multiprocessor PC.

AGI Earthimager™ 3DCL is only available for PC’s running Windows.

Use Cases:

EarthImager™ 3DCL is for use in geotechnical and geologic industries, including the following applications:

• Outlining the shape of caves and voids.

• Calculating the volume of caves and voids.
