Abstract

The invention relates to a method for fracture plane reconstruction in a three-dimensional set (20) of values, comprising the steps of providing a computer with the three-dimensional set, display by the computer of a succession of plane sections (10) of the three-dimensional set, selection by the user of points of the fracture plane over some of these sections during their display; and reconstruction by the computer of the fracture plane from the selected points.
