RESCAT Process
To access this process:
- View the Find Command screen, select RESCAT and click Run.
- Enter "RESCAT" into the Command Line and press <ENTER>.
See this process in the Command Table.
Process Overview
Reserve Category Modeling.
RESCAT is used to define reserve categories in terms of the distance of the nearest sample from the centre of a cell. All fields from the input model file are copied to the output model, and in addition 3 extra fields may be added:
-
VALUE - the value of the nearest sample.
-
DISTANCE - the distance of the nearest sample from the cell centre.
-
CATEGORY - a reserve category identifier.
If a field CATEGORY already exists in one of the input files then the CATEGORY field in the output MODEL file will be of the same type (A-alpha or N-numeric) If the field does not already exist then it will be created as an alpha field with a maximum of 4 characters.
Any combination of the 3 fields may be included controlled by the value of parameter RESCAT. The user is prompted to enter reserve category definitions interactively.
If RESCAT = 1,3,4 or 6 then you must define reserve categories in free format: >

Maximum Distance
3 data items per line separated by commas. Terminate entry with a blank line or a comma in the first character position. If parameter ELLIPSE is non zero then the weighting parameters are prompted:
|
>DIP> |
Dip of Axis 1 (degrees down from horizontal). |
|
>AZIMUTH> |
Azimuth of Axis 1 (degrees clockwise from Y). |
|
>AXIS 1 > |
Relative length of Axis 1. |
|
>AXIS 2 > |
Relative length of Axis 2. |
|
>AXIS 3 > |
Relative length of Axis 3. |
Note: AXIS 1 is in the Y direction, if unrotated. Distances along e.g. AXIS 2 will be multiplied by the ratio AXIS 2/AXIS 1.
