Interpex Ix1d V350 (Secure ✮)
IX1D offers two primary mathematical approaches to refine your models: Blocky Inversion (Marquardt-Levenberg)
For EM inversion, IX1D remains one of the few widely available 1‑D EM inversion software packages. While 2‑D and 3‑D EM inversion tools are rare, studies have successfully replaced them by using IX1D on dense profile data to build quasi‑2‑D sections.
If you collect multiple 1D soundings along a profile line, export the inverted 1D models as XYZ files ( File > Export > XYZ ). You can then import these files into contouring software like Surfer or RockWorks to stitch them into a continuous 2D pseudo-section.

Fully supports standard configurations including Wenner, Schlumberger, dipole-dipole, pole-dipole, and pole-pole arrays.
: Traditional arrays like Schlumberger and Wenner.
Always begin with a smooth inversion (). This approach divides the subsurface into many thin, log-spaced layers (typically 10 to 30) and calculates a continuous gradient curve. It requires no initial user guesswork and reveals the general trend of resistivity changes with depth. Step 2: Layered Inversion (Marquardt Levenberg) IX1D offers two primary mathematical approaches to refine
Interpex has been a staple name in geophysical software for decades. The IX1D v350 is the latest iteration (as of recent years) of their classic 1D resistivity/IP forward modeling and inversion program. It’s designed primarily for geophysicists, engineering geologists, and hydrogeologists who need to interpret Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) – specifically Schlumberger, Wenner, and dipole-dipole arrays.
The program features two core approaches to data evaluation. Users can estimate a or deploy a smooth model (such as Occam's inversion) to visualize continuous transitions in subsurface properties. 3. Parameter Pinning (Fix Flags)
: Use the toolbar to automatically estimate layered or smooth models to get a quick starting point. 3. Advanced Inversion Techniques You can then import these files into contouring
: Checking soil stability for construction or environmental hazards.
In the realm of geophysical exploration, the transformation of raw electrical resistivity data into meaningful geological models is a task fraught with complexity. For decades, the Interpex IX1D V350 has stood as a benchmark software solution for this exact purpose, specializing in the forward modeling and inversion of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) data. While newer, more visually immersive 3D programs have emerged, the IX1D V350 remains an indispensable tool in the applied geophysicist’s toolkit, renowned for its efficiency, depth of analytical features, and user-centric design for one-dimensional problems.
