5.2. Forward Modeling

Here, the code mtz3d.exe and the input file mt3dinv.inp (see format) are used to forward model MT data for a synthetic model. Files relevant to this part of the example are in the sub-folder fwd. For this example, we use the model that was created in the example create model. Before running this example, you may want to do the following:

• Download and open the zip folder containing the entire MTZ3D example (if not done already)

• Learn how to run code from command line

• Learn the format of the input file in the case of forward modeling

To forward model the data, the following input file was used:

Predicted data are shown below.
