3. Elements of the Program

This section provides a brief description of each program in the E3D version 2 package. In addition, we describe the file formats for all input and supporting files used by the coding library.

3.1. Program Library

The main executable programs within the E3D version 2 program library are:

• e3d_v2: single executable file for carrying out forward modeling and inversion of FEM data

• create_octree_mesh_e3d_v2: creates a the OcTree mesh based on transmitter and receiver locations

The following Octree utility programs may also be helpful:

• blk3cellOct: creates a conductivity model on the OcTree mesh

• create_weight_file: creates cell weighting for the recovered model

• interface_weights: creates weights on the faces of cells for the recovered model
