Description	TECHBASE is a modular software system, with a relational database manager as its foundation, used in the environmental, geotechnical, mining, and oil and gas industries. Modules may be chosen to: statistically analyze data, produce graphics such as maps and cross-sections, produce 2D or 3D models, create open-pit and seam mining scenarios, analyze and convert data to a variety of compatible formats. Basic statistics include: correlation, cumulative frequency plots, histogram, ternary diagrams, scatter plots and summary statistics. Specialized statistics are also available and include: box and whisker diagrams, and advanced multivariate statistics. Data may be modeled using composite, inverse distance, krige, experimental variograms, trend surface analysis, triangulation, and minimum curvature programs. Polygons can be entered to limit data interpolation, define land or any other surface boundaries. Analysis tools include rose, piper and stiff diagrams, ground water modeling (MODFLOW), and slope stability programs (TSLOPE3). Graphical output is in the form of user-defined log diagrams, cross-sections, contour and base maps. 3D surfaces, drill holes and sample points can be viewed with the interactive 3D viewing program INSIGHT3D. Graphic metafiles may be exported to other graphics programs, including ACAD, via the DXF file format. Export to ARCVIEW/INFO via .SHP files. ODBC connectivity available which allows connection directly to existing ODBC-compliant databases (ACCESS, ORACLE etc.). Reads and writes data in AGS format. Prints custom report forms directly or export data as ASCII files. 6 month support included in purchase, renewable annually.
