gmsys_reader

A legacy GM-SYS 2D model file reader coded in Python

Aim

This Python file is used to read GM-SYS legacy model files:

  1. The sur file contains model bodies' geometries.
  2. The blk file contains model bodies' physical properties (density, magnetic susceptibility, and remanent magnetisation).
  3. The ecs file contains model origin, azimuth, and coordinate system information.
  4. The wel file contains wells used in the model.
  5. The grv file contains the gravity data used to make the model.
  6. The mag file contains magnetic observation data.

Warning

⚠️ The ecs file reader is optimised for New Zealand use (it reads NZTM and NZMG coordinate systems). You may want to tweak the gmsys_reader.py to suit your local coordinate system.

How to Use

Download the gmsys_reader.py into a folder containing the legacy GM-SYS files, and import it onto your project by typing from gmsys_reader import *. BLK and SUR files will be returned as a Pandas DataFrame, while the other files will be read as a mix of NumPy array and Pandas DataFrame. Please see sample_rangitoto_plot.ipynb for example.
