Introduction
Overview
Interpolator is a module which provides advanced geostatistical functionality such as multi-element,
multi-zone estimation, as well as kriging neighbourhood analysis.
This document is designed to help you to understand the basic concepts of Interpolator, as well as
providing a set of steps to perform an Interpolator run.
More detailed training information is available within the software and from your local Gemcom
Software Support Office. When the software has been installed you can see additional training
resources and help documentation in the Help menu.
Requirements
Prior to proceeding with this tutorial, you should have:
If you do not have all of these, it is highly recommended that you work through the examples in the
Introduction to Surpac, Block Modelling, and Geostatistics tutorials.

13. Repeat all of the previous steps with each of the following constraints to familiarise your-
self with each constraint and data set.
Run String file Constraint
1 ore_comp_int_zone1.str ore_zone1.con
2 ore_comp_int_zone2.str ore_zone2.con
3 ore_comp_int_zone3.str ore_zone3.con
4 ore_comp_int_zone4.str ore_zone4.con
5 ore_comp_int_zone5.str ore_zone5.con
Note: Interpolator requires the name of a file with a *.ipar extension, which contains all
information required for an Interpolator run. In this case, you are telling Interpolator
to use the existing file sanitised.ipar, which contains a set of information for this data set.
You will modify a few parameters, which Setup will save to the output file modified.ipar.
You may use the same name for the input and output files, if you want to overwrite the
original file with some new data. The *.ipar files are in text format, and can be viewed
with any text editor. However, you should only modify them through Interpolator, not
using a text editor.

Before Running Interpolator Task: Set up Interpolator
3. On the next form, click each of the tabs and use the scroll bar at the bottom to review the
information.
6. Click Apply.
Note: This is done merely as an exercise to demonstrate how changes to the parameters can be
made and stored in a new *.ipar file. In this case, modified.ipar will contain the new values for
descretisation points in the Y and Z dimensions, as well as all other data previously stored in the file
sanitised.ipar.

Note: You must close the spreadsheet before performing any subsequent validation checks on
this *.ipar file.

Task: Run Interpolator
1. Open sanitised.mdl.
2. Choose Interpolator > Run.
3. Enter the information as shown, and then click Apply.
Note: By using the same name for the input and output files, parameters in the original
file may be updated.
4. On the next form, review the information, and then click Apply.
The software will now execute each of the runs, as defined by the parameters.
Once it is completed, you will see a message in the message window indicating that the
model has been saved:
"Model c:/documents and settings/all users/gemcom/surpac/61/demo_
data/tutorials/interpolator/sanitised.mdl saved" and the block model will be closed.
