Interpex Ix1d V350 Portable [2021] -
A classic problem in 1-D geophysical inversion is non-uniqueness, where multiple distinct layer configurations yield the exact same apparent curve response. IX1D v3.50 addresses this by providing an equivalence analysis tool. It runs automated iterations to calculate upper and lower bounds for each layer's thickness and resistivity values, allowing users to assess the statistical uncertainty of their final structural interpretations. Advanced Software Features & Workflow Tools
: Iteratively adjusts a fixed number of boundaries to minimize the root-mean-square (RMS) error between observed data and the calculated model. interpex ix1d v350 portable
The software provides immediate visual feedback, allowing users to manually drag and drop layer boundaries to see how it affects the data curve. Professional Application A classic problem in 1-D geophysical inversion is
: A notable feature of v3.50 is the ability to read resistivity well logs from ASCII files and interactively reduce them into discrete layers for further modeling. Advanced Software Features & Workflow Tools : Iteratively
: It supports both Robust inversion (typically 1 to 10 discrete layers) and Smooth inversion (Occam’s inversion with 10 to 100 layers) to provide a more continuous profile of the subsurface.
: A critical feature that allows users to determine the range of possible models (varying thickness and resistivity) that could fit the data equally well, helping to assess the non-uniqueness of the interpretation.
Capable of reading and reducing to discreet layers by fitting straight-line segments.
