EVS - EQuIS for EVS

The EQuIS for EVS interface is used to quickly export EQuIS data to EVS for gridding, model building, geostatistics, animation, and interactive fence-diagrams.

Locations Tab

EQuIS_EVS_locations_tab

The Locations tab of the EVS Interface allows users to select specific locations from the current facility to use in the Export. Multiple locations can be selected using the Ctrl plus the SHIFT key. Locations selected will determine what is populated in the Geology tab.

Geology Tab

EQuIS_EVS_geology_tab

The Geology tab gathers information from the locations selected in the Locations tab, and separates this information by Layer Type. The Select Layer Type drop-down menu allows users to choose which layer to view. The information is then displayed in real time.

Names for the Layer Type drop-down in the Geology tab of the EQuIS for EVS Interface come from the RT_GEO_UNIT_TYPE table. EarthSoft does not recommend re-naming the GEO_UNIT_TYPE. Instead, use GEO_UNIT_DESC to add a description. RT_GEO_UNIT_TYPE.GEO_UNIT_NUMBER corresponds to the GEO_UNIT_CODE_1 through _5 fields in the DT_LITHOLOGY table, as shown here:

Required Fields for the EVS Geology Export

•SYS_LOC_CODE and FACILITY_CODE

•DT_COORDINATE.X_COORD

•DT_COORDINATE.Y_COORD

•DT_COORDINATE.ELEV

•DT_LITHOLOGY.START_DEPTH

•MATERIAL_NAME (DT_LITHOLOGY)

After clicking the Geology tab, the Pre-Geology (.pdf) file will be accessible. Users can then export the geology data to a Pre-Geology (.pgf) file. (The exports to Borehole Geology (.geo) and Geology Multi-File (.gmf) are currently unavailable.)

Chemistry Tab

The Chemistry tab allows users to select input parameters and then run the standard EQuIS Analytical Results Report.

EQuIS_EVS_chemistry_tab

Required Fields for Chemistry Export

•SYS_LOC_CODE and FACILITY_CODE

•DT_COORDINATE.X_COORD

•DT_COORDINATE.Y_COORD

•DT_RESULT.RESULT_NUMERIC

•DT_COORDINATE.ELEV

Once the report has been run, and if the query returns results, various export options for chemistry are available.

•3D Chemistry (.csv)

•3D Groundwater Chemistry (.gwc)

•Groundwater Chemistry Time (.gwt)

•Soil Chemistry Time (.sct)

Note: When selecting an EVS export, the following error may occur when clicking Yes at the 'Do you want to preview the EVS sample templates available for this file type?' prompt:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: type

at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic)

at EarthSoft.Interfaces.EVS.EVS.Launcher()

This message is expected when clicking Yes and the EVS application is not installed. Selecting No will save the file on your machine without error. To resolve the error, please install the EVS application.
