Encom PA allows users to:
- create exciting maps, images and 3D displays
- create profiles, logs and sections
- communicate interpretations
- influence exploration decisions
- explore the limits of data
- prepare the ultimate presentation
- fly live through a 3D project
- collaborate with colleagues
- link to other software
- enhance primary data
- ensure effective decision making
Encom PA Versions
Choose between two licenced package options, PA Explorer or PA Professional, and/or the free to use PA Viewer option.
Encom PA Explorer
Encom PA Explorer contains all visualisation methods (in curve profiles, section profiles, 2D maps and 3D displays), data linking, import utilities and basic processing, conversion and most display utilities.
Encom PA Professional
Encom PA Professional includes all modules available in PA Explorer plus a number of additional utilities for extending the interpretation functionality of Encom PA, such as digitising features in 1D, 2D and 3D.
Encom PA Viewer
Encom PA Viewer is a freely distributable version of Encom PA, allowing all PA session files to be viewed and printed without a licence installation, with the limitation of not allowing changes to the properties of any views.
Encom PA 12.0 Available Now
Pitney Bowes Software is pleased to announce the release of Encom PA 12.0, which focuses on the implementation of coordinate system projection support, now making it easier to work with datasets in profiles, sections, two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional displays regardless of their original projection. Some additional processing tools and display improvements have also been implemented to assist with interpreting geophysical data. More

Get Expert Results Fast!
Encom PA is very easy to use and quick to learn. First time users look like experts due to the intuiative drag and drop capabilities, wizards and library of templates and components available in the application. Encom PA’s smart data connectors efficiently analyse the data and models users point at and then allows them to be dropped into an existing project window or blank desktop.
Encom PA is designed for geoscience collaboration between geophysicists, geologists, geochemists and engineers and supports a range of visualisation styles, advanced processing techniques, interpretation and analysis tools, data connectors and custom presentation templates. Pipe the data outputs from nearly all your diverse software applications through this one interface to provide a single integrated presentation interface.
Encom PA’s visualisation is without peer in diversity, capability, ease of use and outcomes. It is so compelling, it becomes addictive to use this product in almost all areas of interpretation, communication, training, meetings and formal presentations.

A Wide Range of Tools
Interpretation tools range from easy anomaly picking through to advanced 3D model editors allowing the most appropriate tool to be selected for the task. Either build complex 3D geological models, including strate, faults and intrusions, or just simple anomalous point, lines or zones.
FFT filtering and transformation is demystified by providing real-time previews of your processing sequence and easy parameter selection and guidance. In addition, Encom PA provides the most advanced suite of filtering options comemrcially available for magnetic and gravity interpretation.
2D and 3D grids (meshes) can be built from point and line data using a variety of gridding algorithms that include inverses distance, discrete, minimum curvature and kriging.
Advanced function calculators provided tools for the logical and functional manipulation of points, lines, grids, voxels and geological features.
