Introduction
Stratamodel 2003.12 conforms with Landmark 2003.12 release standards and is integrated with
other product changes in the Landmark 2003.12 release. The default POSC RESCUE version for
Stratamodel 2003.12 output data is updated to be compatible with Powermodel 2003.12. (You can
create POSC RESCUE data in a lower version by using the USE_RESCUE_VERSION
environment variable as described in Overriding the Default POSC RESCUE Version on
page 17).
In addition, many changes have been made to the StrataMap application, as described in the
following topic.
Enhancements in StrataMap
This topic highlights some of the changes in the StrataMap application.
StrataMap Main Window The mapping area has moved from the StrataMap window to the
Map View dialog box. As a result, the workflow buttons are always available in the main window.
The number of workflows has been reduced, with three workflows now accessible as functions in
the optimum interface for performing themthe Fault Framework Map dialog box.
It is standard practice to always use the first four workflows to create and begin refining a
framework. You can use the last two workflows, if necessary, to adjust the input data to match well
point values or fill void areas. To use the three workflow functions that have moved out of the main
window, focus on a fault in the Fault Framework Map dialog box, then select options from the MB3
menu to change the faults extension, merge the fault with another fault, or use the fault to split
another fault.
Menu Options The menus and menu options in the StrataMap window have been
extensively reorganized to be more intuitive (as listed in the table Changes in StrataMap
Option Names on page 3). For example:
The Form Entire Horizon function has moved from the Framework Events Status dialog
box to the Framework Operations > Operations menu.
The Save Framework function has moved from Framework Status menu to the File menu.
Gridding The Global Gridding method can now handle any size pointset, and is used by
default in almost all cases. As a result, StrataMap produces better quality grids that extend over
the entire AOI. To provide the edge control needed in some cases, two new Boundary settings
are available, Shell and Same Coverage. Selecting Same Coverage preserves the current grids
coverage, which is useful for recalculating patches in a framework.
Editors The Surface Shape Editor is improved to facilitate tracking profiles as you move
the edit area. The polygon type of editing area has been eliminated. The Points Editor is
modified to improve profile track focus.
Both Editors become active once you perform a Form Entire Horizon operationenabling you
to edit the current fault block portion of the horizon in context with its neighbors. This makes
it easier to obtain the appropriate fault throws between fault blocks.

Landmark
Profile Display In Profile Display, a new toggling button (and MB3 menu option) enables
you to show or hide the original faults when you view portions of surfaces created for
individual fault blocks. This makes it easy to see the results of Erase & Extend operations and
eliminate clutter. In addition, you can rotate the line of section (LOS) by using an MB3 menu
option in Profile Display.
Map View In Map View, a new toggling option in the MB3 menu enables you to show or
hide intersection points. A new option in the DISPLAY Contents dialog box enables you to
quickly show or hide borders annotated with grid values.
Framework Events Status New options are available for creating different types of point
subsets in the Framework Events Status dialog box.
View-Only Surfaces If you display view-only surfaces as overlays and want to manually
override the settings, new color options are available for displaying horizons and faults, and for
displaying a surface as a black line.
Workflow Documentation New step-by-step instructions are included for the main
workflows. The documentation also has advice about editing data before and after you produce
a framework.
DSB Record Layout Formats Changes have been made in the supported record layout
formats for data schema block (.dsb) files.

Getting Licenses
Stratamodel incorporates FLEXlm license management software from Globetrotter, which uses
software versioning in the license file (license.dat). (On Linux systems, FLEXlm 7.2g is used. On
Sun and SGI, FLEXlm 7.2e is used.) This feature prevents previous license files from working with
the new installation. You must get a new license.dat file from your Landmark representative before
you can execute Stratamodel 2003.12.
When you request a license, make sure you have the host ID for your system or systems (servers
and clients) as well as server host names. To obtain a host ID, use the sysdef command on a Sun
system or use the lmhostid command on a Linux or SGI system. Make sure you supply the host
ID number in the proper format. (For more information, see the License Application Manager
topic in the document OpenWorks Installation Procedures - Release 2003.12.)
Stratamodel includes these individually licensed products:
Stratamodel
StrataMap
StrataMap - Framework Builder
StrataSim
Badleys FSA
(RC)2 Geostatistics
A full-featured Stratamodel license file (license.dat) contains these feature lines:
SGM, SGMMAP, SGMSIM, SGMFSA, SGMRC2GEOSTATS, and SGMMAPFWB.
For complete license installation and configuration information, see the FLEX License Manager
CD-ROM.

Installing Stratamodel
You can use the installation CD-ROM to install Stratamodel regardless of whether you have
installed OpenWorks. If your system does not have OpenWorks, installing Stratamodel is different
in three important respects: the location of the Stratamodel installation directory during
installation, the location of the Stratamodel license file and related licensing issues, and the process
for initializing Stratamodel.
For complete information about mounting the CD-ROM and installing Stratamodel, please refer to
the OpenWorks Installation Procedures - Release 2003.12.
After you install the software, read Initializing Stratamodel on page 13.
If you have access to OpenWorks user documentation, see the Upgrading OpenWorks and other
Applications section in the OpenWorks System Administration: Installing OpenWorks guide, and
the Managing the License System section in the OpenWorks: Managing the System guide.
Limitations
The Stratamodel R2003.12 release does not support GeoLink.

Sun Solaris
To check whether your system is set to run Pseudocolor (8-bit color) or True Color (24-bit color),
cd to /usr/openwin/bin, then run the command xpdyinfo. The sections labelled screen #0 and
screen # 1 contain specifications for several visuals. Among the specifications, look for the depth
values. A depth value of 8 planes indicates the specified monitor is running in Pseudocolor mode.
A depth value of 24 planes indicates the monitor is running in True Color mode.
To display True Color on a Solaris system, you must first install the new operating system, SunOS
5.8, Solaris 8.0 (Version 0202), plus the Motif patch 108940-52.
Next, edit the Xservers file, as described in the following steps:
1. Make a backup copy of Xservers file:
cp /usr/dt/config/Xserver /usr/dt/config/Xserver.back
Note: The Xservers file may also be located in /etc/dt/config. If it is located in both places, the
file in /etc is used.
2. Open the Xservers file in a text editor, and locate the line at the bottom of the file (as shown in
the following example):
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X -dev /dev/fbs/
ifb2 -dev /dev/fbs/ifb1
3. Add the option defdepth 24 after ifb2 and after ifb1, as shown in the following example (or
after ffb0 and ffb1, if you have dual ffb graphics cards):
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X -dev /dev/fbs/
ifb2 defdepth 24 -dev /dev/fbs/ifb1 defdepth 24
Note: The italicized notations in the example may not match the notations in your Xservers file,
depending on the graphics board and driver you have. The important point is that you add
defdepth 24 after the equivalent of the italicized words.
4. Log out and log in to restart the X server.

SGI IRIX
By default, the SGI X Server is configured to display in Pseudocolor mode (that is, display 8-bit
color). The operating system for IRIX has not changed for R2003.12, so before you run
Stratamodel, switch to True Color mode (24-bit color).
To switch the default color mode, perform the following steps:
1. Run the command /usr/bin/X11/xdpyinfo. Verify that your server is capable of
displaying 12-bit or 24-bit color. If it is, lines similar to the following ones appear:
visual id, max buffers, depth: 0x28, 0, 12
visual id, max buffers, depth: 0x29, 0, 12
visual id, max buffers, depth: 0x2a, 0, 24
The last number on each line represents the number of bits available for that visual.
2. Log in as root.
3. Copy the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.ORIG.
4. Edit the Xservers file. By default, the file contains a string like the following one:
:0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -nobitscale -c -class PseudoColor
-depth 8 -solidroot sgilightblue -cursorFG red -cursorBG white
To run 24-bit color (True Color), change the class and depth settings, as shown in the following
example:
:0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -nobitscale -c -class TrueColor
-depth 24 -solidroot sgilightblue -cursorFG red -cursorBG white
(To run 8-bit Psuedocolor, change the depth setting to 8.)
5. Log out and log in to restart the X server. (You can also restart the X server by moving the
cursor over the desktop and using the Vulcan death-grip (that is, pressing <Cntrl> <Shift>
<F12> <\> from the number keypad).

Initializing Stratamodel
Once you have properly installed Stratamodel, have correctly configured the licenses, and have set
up your system to run in True Color mode, use one of the following methods to invoke
Stratamodel:
Select Stratamodel from the OpenWorks Command Menu.
In an xterm window, enter the command to start Stratamodel.
Use the first method if OpenWorks is installed and accessible on the host system. Use the second
method if you do not have OpenWorks or if you want to bypass the OpenWorks front-end. The
remainder of this topic describes how to use the two methods.

Environmental Variables
The following list describes environment variables you can define in Stratamodel.
COLORCHG For StrataMap, set to no if StrataMap fails because it runs out of colors
and reports an X error (.X_StoreColors). Set the variable and restart. Set to yes to run in
Pseudocolor to manipulate the color table without redrawing the image. If insufficient space is
available to allocate a private colormap, the program may crash in this mode.
FSA_DISPLAY Redirect the Badleys Fault Seal Analysis application to a remote display,
such as a PC-compatible running Exceed 3D, a Solaris system, or an SGI system (while you
use the global DISPLAY variable to display all other Stratamodel applications and elements on
a system running in True Color mode). To use the FSA_DISPLAY variable, enter the xhost +
command on the remote system. On the local system, enter a command similar to the following
one: setenv FSA_DISPLAY remsystem:0.0, where remsystem is the name of the
remote system.
MAIN_MEMORY_SIZE Use if the memory required for loading seismic traces into the
model exceeds the amount of system memory. Once the size of main memory is reached, load
processes are split into multiple passes.
MAXCOLRS For StrataMap, set MAXCOLRS to 40 (for Solaris machines only) to set
StrataMap to come up on the nongraphics monitor.
MOPCALC_MSGLEVEL Specify the level of detail written to the xterm you use to
launch Stratamodel. Use a value from 1 to 4, with 4 for the most comprehensive level of detail.

Landmark
XSGM_NUM_DIV For StrataMap, specify the number of cell divisions to use for building
a stratigraphic framework model. You can use this environment variable to increase the
accuracy of the model areas that have problems due to cells that are truncated at event
boundaries.
XSGM_SHD_STEREO Set Show Displays to render graphic images in stereo mode (1),
or set Show Displays to display the default viewer (0).

The first line of the file is a color label, followed by descriptions of the lines displayed in the color.
In the example, an ellipsis (...) indicates missing text.
In this example, the color label specifies that the lines after the label are drawn in white. The line
color is defined by normalized RGB values. The color applies to all line descriptions that follow
until a new color label is encountered. (Lines are described with a series of x, y, z values for each
line node.)
To apply another color to all the lines, change the color label at the beginning of the file. (For
example color label values, see Example Color Label Entry Lines on page 19.)

To apply a color to particular lines, insert a color label above the line descriptions, as shown in the
preceding example. In the example, the first line is displayed in red (RGB values = 1 0 0), and the
second line is displayed in green (RGB values = 0 1 0). The ellipses (...) indicate missing text.
Example Color Label Entry Lines
To change the line color, edit the normalized RGB values in the color label entry line as shown in
the following table. Normalized RGB values represent each red, green, and blue color component
value (sometimes represented in a value of 0255 decimal or 00FF hexadecimal) as a value
between 0 and 1.

Known Issues
The following issues and problems apply to the Stratamodel R2003.12 and at least one previous
release.
No Capture Utility
No capture utility is bundled with Stratamodel R2003.12. On Linux systems, use the GIMP (GNU
Image Manipulation Program) capture utility included with the RedHat 7.2 Gnome desktop
environment.
As indicated in the error message quoted previously, you can set the environment variable
FSA_DISPLAY so that the Badleys application is redirected to a remote display. (You must enter
xhost + on the remote system. You can use the FSA_DISPLAY environment variable instead of
changing the global DISPLAY variable and redirecting all Stratamodel components. You can
redirect the Badleys application to a PC-compatible running Exceed 3D, a Solaris system, or an
SGI system, while you display all other Stratamodel applications and elements on a system that is
running in True Color mode.

License Problems
If you have problems with licensing, remove any .flexlmrc file present in the startup directory.
(The . (dot) prefix hides the .flexlmrc file.) Although Stratamodel does not create this file at startup,
other Landmark products can create it. A .flexlmrc file contains a path to your license.dat file,
which may conflict with the path set in other locations (such as the path set with the
LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable).
Workaround: To prevent the creation of a .flexlmrc file, execute the following environment
variable: setenv FLEXLM_NO_CKOUT_INSTALL_LIC 1
