Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

VMOD Flex supports importing data from various standard data types to allow you flexibility in constructing your conceptual model. Data can be imported and used in several ways; spatial data can be used to delineate and visualize geometry of structural zones, horizons and features of your conceptual model, while attribute data can be used in assigning properties to structural zones and attributes to boundary conditions.

 

About the Import Process

 

The data import process in VMOD Flex varies slightly depending on the data type being imported. However, in general, the importing process consists of the following steps:

 

1.Select the data type and source file
2.Specify the coordinate system and datum of the source data
3.Map the source data fields with required target fields, and optionally create attribute fields
4.Data preview and validation
