A computer implemented method for modeling of faulting and fracturing uses "small scale rules" to produce large-scale results. A user selects one of three modes of definition (101) that defines the model used (103); the model may be aerial, cross-sectional, or three-dimensional. Stresses are then applied (111). An "anticipate" step (111) provides a quick solution to the deformation excluding effects of faulting, and final deformations including effects of faulting are calculated using a dynamic range relaxation (115, 117).

La présente invention concerne un procédé informatisé permettant de modéliser la formation des failles et les mécanismes de fractures en utilisant des règles applicables à petite échelle pour obtenir des résultats s'appliquant à grande échelle. A cet effet, l'utilisateur désigne parmi trois modes de définition (101) celui qui correspond au modèle utilisé (103). Ce modèle peut être aérien, en coupe, ou tridimensionnel. On applique ensuite des contraintes (111). Une fonction d'anticipation (111) fournit pour la déformation un résultat rapide ne tenant pas compte des effets de la formation des failles et des mécanismes de fractures. Pour calculer les déformations finales affectées de la formation des failles, il ne reste plus qu'à procéder par relaxation des contraintes en plage dynamique (115, 117).
