Overview of the Move Tutorials
OVERVIEW OF THE MOVE TUTORIALS This section provides an overview of each Move tutorial and introduces you to the Move user interface (Figure 1-2). The Move suite consists of the Move Core Appli cation - a powerful stand-alone environment that can be used for 2D cross-secti on construction, 3D mod el building, data int egration and analysis. The Core Application also provides the base for specialist structural modules in 2D and 3D Kinematic Modelling, Geomechanical, Fracture and Fault Respons e Modelling, as well as Strain Capture, Fault Analysis and Stress Analysis. Figures 1 and 2 show the location of some the components com monly referred to in the Move tutorials.

Overview of the Move Tutorials
Move can be used to build geometrically valid interpretations based on geological principles. It is designed by geologists for geologists, in order to provide a best practice environment for model building and testing geological interpretations and concepts. The Mov e tutorials use a range of functionality and cover specific structural geological scenarios in a clear, gui ded workflow. It is recommended that new Move users start from Tutorial 1, because as the tuto rials progress, they increase in complexity and tend to assume the basi c principles of Move. In the following table, each tutorial is marked by a Move Cor e Application or module logo. In order to use th e kinematic and advanced modules, an active license to the Move Core Application and the module in question is required.
