SOFTWARE: New version of GEMS boasts first block model conversion engine

VANCOUVER – Gemcom Software International has released a new version of its GEMS™ software with the world’s first block model conversion engine. The powerful new patent pending feature of GEMS 6.4 creates a new level of data flexibility by providing direct conversion between different block model formats. That delivers better collaboration and improved data integrity while saving users a great deal of time, according to the manufacturer.

In addition to the block model conversion engine, GEMS 6.4 provides many enhancements to existing features requested by its users. To further increase productivity, GEMS includes enhanced block modelling capabilities; increased line, surface, and solid import and export options; and two-point transformation profiles to transform solids and surfaces.

GEMS 6.4 enhanced capabilities include:

• The interpolate and report feature allows users to work with larger datasets and use more than 100 interpolation profiles.
• Geospatial filtering is now possible through the use of clipping boundaries when importing points and lines.
• Enhanced importing support for Optech 3-D rings (.xyz files), and Leapfrog mesh files.
• Esri^® Shapefiles can now be imported as points, polylines, or polygons.
• New two-point transformation profile can be used to transform the co-ordinates of solids and surfaces from one system to another.
• Improved sorting capabilities in GEMS’ production scheduler allows for more efficient scheduling.
