Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of assistance in geological modeling by grouping meshes together in a geological model comprising a plurality of meshes, each mesh of said model being associated with at least one digital parameter representing a geological property. For at least one column of at least n meshes of the model, a plurality of decompositions of said column into m subsets of adjacent meshes can be determined. Then, for each composition determined, one determines, for each one of the m subsets, a new digital parameter associated with said subset depending on the digital parameters associated with the meshes of said subset. Finally, one can determine a dispersion value of said decomposition depending, at least, on the new digital parameters associated with said subsets.
