# LoopStructural: Loop3D Implicit Geological Modelling
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/LoopStructural)

## Overview
LoopStructural is an opensource Python library for 3D geological modelling. The library has been built in the scope of the Loop project ([Loop3d.org](https://loop3d.org/)). LoopStructural can:
- Model fault networks integrating fault kinematics and overprinting relationships
- Model folds using structural elements (fold axis, fold axial surface) for multiple fold events
- Use different implicit interpolation algorithms (Finite Difference, Piecewiese Linear, RBF)
- Export models to vtk, geoh5, omf, gocad, csv, obj formats
- Visualise models in an interactive python environment.
## Installation
### Google colab
LoopStructural can be used inside a google colab notebook, however interactive visualisation using kitware trame does not work. Only static plots can be displayed.
### Pip
`pip install loopstructural`
Optional dependencies are:
- loopstructuralvisualisation (wrapper for pyvista to interface with loopstructural objects)
- pyvista (3D visualisation)
- geoh5py (export to .geoh5 format)
- mira-omf (export to .omf format to load in Leapfrog)
- pyevtk
- dill (serialize loop models to a pickle file)
- tqdm (progress bars)
- loopsolver (experimental solver for admm inequality constraints)
You can install all of the optional dependencies using:
`pip install loopstructural[all]`
### conda
`conda install -c conda-forge -c loop3d loopstructural`
to install the working 3D visualisation environment
`conda install -c conda-forge -c loop3d loopstructural loopstructuralvisualisation pyvista trame trame-vtk trame-vuetify`
## Quickstart
- A basic geological model
```Python
from LoopStructural import GeologicalModel
from LoopStructural.datatypes import BoundingBox
from LoopStructural.visualisation import Loop3DView
from LoopStructural.datasets import load_claudius
import numpy as np
data, bb = load_claudius()
#bb constaints origin and maximum of axis aligned bounding box
#data is a pandas dataframe with X,Y,Z,val,nx,ny,nz, feature_name
model = GeologicalModel(bb[0,:],bb[1,:])
model.data = data
# nelements specifies the number of discrete interpolation elements
# 'stratí' is the feature name in the data dataframe
model.create_and_add_foliation('strati',nelements=1e5)
model.update()
# get the value of the interpolator at some random locations
locations = np.array(
[
np.random.uniform(bb[0, 0], bb[1, 0],5),
np.random.uniform(bb[0, 1], bb[1, 1],5),
np.random.uniform(bb[0, 2], bb[1, 2],5),
]
).T
val = model.evaluate_feature_value('strati', locations)
# get the gradient of the interpolator
gradient = model.evaluate_feature_gradient('strati',locations)
#Plot the scalar field of the model
model['strati'].scalar_field().plot()
```
