Abstract
CAD RESOURCES FOR RESOLVING STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY PROBLEMS. The article describes features, examples and resources in CAD environment for teaching-learning of Structural Geology. For practical resolution of structural problems, the features of rock bodies are treated as three-dimensional arrangements of geometric figures such as planes, lines and surfaces. The techniques involve descriptive geometry, trigonometry and analytic geometry. Based on learning of manual techniques, the resources in a CAD environment help teaching-learning techniques for representation of natural rock bodies in three dimensions. The article brings together three typical examples, solved in a CAD environment, on layer thickness, depths, apparent dips, intersection of two planes and attitude of a plane from three points. These resources and program features may assist in determining the most appropriate way, for students and professionals, for problem-solving and digital data representation.
