Keywords (the order of these keywords does not matter, except from the OBJECT keyword – this keyword should always be the first one – and that the TVDSS values are always at the end)

Keyword Description Optional Comment

GRID2D

Specifies the object type

No

One value is expected:

1. Name of the surface grid.

TYPE

Specifies the type of surface grid

Yes

One value is expected:

1. GeologicalType (Default = HORIZON)

When this keyword is not included, the default type is applied.

DIMENSIONS

Specifies the surface grid dimensions

No

Four values are expected:

1. Number of cells in Easting direction

2. Number of cells in Northing direction

3. Cell size in Easting direction

4. Cell size in Northing direction

CONSTANT

Specifies a constant TVDSS value

Yes

One value is expected:

1. The constant depth value

When this keyword is not found, a series of TVDSS values is expected.

SOUTHNEIGHBORCONNECTED

Specifies the south connection values

Yes

Default is false

WESTNEIGHBORCONNECTED

Specifies the west connection values

Yes

Default is false

SOUTHEASTNEIGHBORCONNECTED

Specifies the south east connection values
