GOCAD software is a powerful tool designated to interactively build a 3-D model of subsurfaces. It is based on a new interpolation method (discrete smooth interpolation) specially adapted to the easy modeling of complex 3-D geological surfaces (reverse faults, salt domes, lenses, etc.). This method is numerically very efficient, can handle control points and geological constraints such as 3-D throw vectors, slopes, etc., and can take into account precise and imprecise data. In addition, GOCAD offers one complementary tool for seismic applications and reservoir engineering.
