as a structural geologist that interested in structural modeling, I want to know if there any unsolved problems that need a structural modeling, and is the experimental modeling still beneficial with the development of numerical methods of modeling?
Your question is not very clear. you want to simulate the structural geology using numerical method. Experimental method is giving more realistic results as compared to the numerical method. But both the methods have its own merit and demerits.
The structural model of a geologic region Helps to get geological information which can play a key role in addressing challenges of sustainable development such as land degradation and groundwater protection, and contribute to improved decision-making processes.
Dear Mr Karthigeyan and Mr Maged, thank you for your answers, indeed knowing the idea of knowledgeable, experienced researchers like you is beneficial and helpful.
Dear Joseph,
In my short experience on a specific and unusual location in Papua New Guinea, both structural & numerical modelling are complementary approaches that provide better insights about the location/region.
As an example, without the geological nous and feedback from my geologist colleagues (with deep understanding of the structural geology), much of my numerical modelling (population distribution modelling & physical characteristics estimations) would simply be assertions.

Dear Mr Ong, Thank you for your answer. indeed knowing the results of your experience will be helpful.
Dear Joseph,
my experience in numerical modeling of very complex geological structures, specially devoted to exploit analyses of the processes of injection/production of fluids in geological reservoirs, has pointed out that numerical approach is an essential tool in order to integrate experimental information with the aim of making sure of safety and environmental sustainability in the medium and long time
