Tri-meshes

click to enlarge

A tri-mesh is a triangulated surface used to represent horizons (conformable, unconformable, intrusive) or faults during structural modeling, and sometimes during seismic interpretation or QC. The first input to building a geological model using the Jewel Gridding technology is a group of tri-mesh surfaces that form a watertight structural model.
