empymod 1.2.1

ElectroMagnetic Python forward MODeller (1D)

Electromagnetic modeller in Python

The electromagnetic modeller empymod can model electric or magnetic responses due to a three-dimensional electric or magnetic source in a layered-earth model with vertical transverse isotropy, electric permittivity, and magnetic permeability, from very low frequencies to very high frequencies.

Installation & requirements

The easiest way to install the latest stable version of empymod is via conda:

conda install -c prisae empymod

or via pip:

pip install empymod

Alternatively, you can download the latest version from GitHub and either add the path to empymod to your python-path variable, or install it in your python distribution via:

python setup.py install

Required are python version 3.4 or higher and the modules NumPy and SciPy. If you want to run parts of the kernel in parallel, the module numexpr is required additionally.

If you are new to Python I recommend using a Python distribution, which will ensure that all dependencies are met, specifically properly compiled versions of NumPy and SciPy; I recommend using Anaconda (version 3.x; continuum.io/downloads). If you install Anaconda you can simply start the Anaconda Navigator, add the channel prisae and empymod will appear in the package list and can be installed with a click.

Documentation

The manual of empymod can be found at empymod.readthedocs.io.

Citation

I am in the process of publishing an article regarding empymod, and I will put the info here once it is a reality. If you publish results for which you used empymod, please consider citing this article. Also consider citing the two articles given below, Hunziker et al, 2015, and Key, 2012, without which empymod would not exist. (All releases have additionally a Zenodo-DOI, provided on the release-page.)

Notice

This product includes software that was initially (till 01/2017) developed at The Mexican Institute of Petroleum IMP (Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo, gob.mx/imp). The project was funded through The Mexican National Council of Science and Technology (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, conacyt.mx).

This product is a derivative work of the following two publications and their publicly available software:
