Community Block Model (CBM) is a 3d representation of southern California. Blocks in the block model, represent coherent regions with similar material properties. Edges of blocks are often along fault boundaries, showing significant material contrasts across faults.

VTK Block Representation

The Block Model is distributed in several 3D file formats including .txt format, ts format, and vtk format. To view the Block Model using 3D software, we recommend use of the open source 3D viz software Paraview. Paraview can read in the Block Model as defined in these vtk files.
