Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Apparent thickness, bed and traverse geometry. Returns Corrected bed thickness. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Observed traverse intercept length (m): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Plane strike (degrees): minimum 0, maximum 360. Plane dip (degrees): minimum 0, maximum 90. Traverse trend (degrees): minimum 0, maximum 360. Traverse plunge down (degrees): minimum -90, maximum 90.
