Implementation for Geologic Model Based on Surpac in ArcGIS Engine

Abstract

In order to combine the advantages of Surpac in three-demensional modeling and ArcGIS Engine in three-demensional space analysis, the relation of data elements between Surpac and ArcGIS Engine is studied. In this study, the method of data conversion between two models is proposed. Take the model conversion of a large metal mine for example,showing the ability of the method,by adopting the software of Visual C++ to write a interface program of Surpac-ArcGIS Engine. The results show that the method of data conversion which is proposed in this study can switch Surpac and ArcGIS Engine.This switch function can extend the application space of ArcGIS Engine in Civil Engineering field.
