5.3. Forward Modeling

Here, the code e3d_v2.exe and the input file e3dfwd.inp (see format) are used to forward model secondary field FEM data for a synthetic model. We use the flag SECONDARY_NUMERIC such that the primary field is computed numerically. Files relevant to this part of the example are in the sub-folder fwd. For this example, we use the model that was created in the example “create model”. Before running this example, you may want to do the following:

• Download and open the zip folder containing the entire E3D version 2 example (if not done already)

• Learn how to run code from command line

• Learn the format of the input file

To forward model the data, the following input file was used:

Predicted data are shown below.
