Compute Advanced Volume

This tool performs volumetric calculations using gridded surfaces and polygons.

Create a Map Drawing Polygon or open an existing polygon file.

To compute the volume of the polygon, right-click to open the Map Drawing menu.

Select Volumetrics | Compute Advanced Volume.View image

Select one of the following methods below with its corresponding grids, and click <Calculate Volume> to begin the calculation. Volume will be displayed as cubic meters and feet.

Calculation Methods

2 Time Grids/ Constant Velocity

Select 2 time grids and enter a constant velocity to calculate a volume inside the polygon.

Volume = (Time Grid 2 - Time Grid 1) x Constant Velocity x Polygon Area

2 Time Grids/ Interval Velocity

Select 2 time grids and an interval velocity grid to calculate a volume inside the polygon.

Volume = (Time Grid 2 - Time Grid 1) x Interval Velocity Grid x Polygon Area

2 Depth Grids

Select 2 depth grids to calculate a volume inside the polygon.

Volume = ( Depth Grid 2 - Depth Grid 1) x Polygon Area

Time Isochron/ Constant Velocity

Select an Isochron grid and enter a constant velocity to calculate a volume inside the polygon.

Volume = Isochron Grid x Constant Velocity x Polygon Area

Time Isochron/ Interval Velocity Grid

Select an Isochron grid and an interval velocity grid to calculate a volume inside the polygon.

Volume = Isochron Grid x Interval Velocity Grid x Polygon Area

Depth Isopach

Select a depth Isopach grid to calculate a volume inside the polygon.

Volume = Isopach x Polygon Area
