An implicit function based approach to deterministic discontinuity modeling using trace data

A methodology has been described that is capable of generating realistic 3-dimensional models of large-scale structures from mapped discontinuity trace data. The technique incorporates a search algorithm to hierarchically select traces based on a variety of criteria, such as orientation, genetic typ...
