3.2 Geometry objects in GeoStudio
New to GeoStudio in 2007 is the concept that the entire model is defined as a series of geometry objects.
These objects can be soil regions, circular openings line objects, surface regions, and point objects. These
objects are shown in the images below – as defined and then with the mesh applied.
