Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
accessing a model of a subterranean region wherein the model comprises a fault that corresponds to a fault in the subterranean region;
via a first side of the fault, outwardly radiating therefrom cells of the model with a first type of radiation configured to illuminate the first side of the fault with a first set of illumination values and, via a second, opposing side of the fault, outwardly radiating therefrom cells of the model with a second type of radiation configured to illuminate the second, opposing side of the fault with a second set of illumination values, wherein the first type of radiation and the second type of radiation are generated from a radiation source in the model; and
based at least in part on the outwardly radiating of the first type of radiation and the outwardly radiating of the second type of radiation, assigning a portion of the cells of the model a sidedness property value with respect to the fault that indicates that each cell in the portion of the cells is assigned to the first side of the fault or assigned to the second, opposing side of the fault.
