The model configuration file specifies the initial model which you would like your inversion to start from.

A default configuration file is generated during the preprocessing step. This file is a uniform halfspace. After preprocessing, you can modify the configuration file to adjust the initial model as needed.

Components of the Model Configuration File

The load_model and sigmas are required components of the model configuration file. The blocks and spheres are optional components that allow you to define the model using blocks and spheres.

You can have as many blocks and spheres as you like in the model configuration file. The conducivity of each cell will always be the maximum of the conducivities of the blocks and spheres that cell is contained in.

In order to create a layered model, you can define multiple blocks with large width in the x and y directions.
