Use Horizons tool to check & fix intersections, crossings and penetrations
between components classified as Formation Horizon in the GeoD Model
tool.
Use the Horizons tool to fix intersections and penetrations in the model.
GeoD helps identify and fix
these in various ways.
From GeoD ribbon, Fix group, select
Horizons.Figure 1.
The available functions are
Intersect All-
Intersects the elements of the older horizon found to be within the user
specified interaction region with the younger horizon, stitches the intersection
and remeshes the seam (manifold edge) to give high quality elements around the
cut patch.
Push All
Pushes the interfering regions of the older horizon below the younger horizon
by the user set value.

Figure 2.
Figure 3.
Two horizons intersecting and a region of elements are
penetrating each other.
Once the intersection and penetration between the horizons are
fixed, either by intersecting or pushing away the layers, the region
of interaction are removed.
Older horizons are modified to accommodate these
changes.
Auto Method
Auto method can be used to
detect and apply the selected fix automatically for the selected horizons. You can
select the displayed components at once or select required components from the
graphics area.Figure 4.
Available options are-

Perform Operation; two different operations are described above.
Manual Method
The Manual method can be used to find and fix the
individual intersections and penetrations interactively. Once an intersection or
penetration is found, you can push the selected elements or cut and stitch.Figure 5.
