This paper focuses on the forward modeling of the direct current resistivity method. To this end, the Gmsh software-a 3D finite element grid generator-was used to model the anomalous bodies under undulating terrain and conduct relevant irregular grid division. Then partial grid data generated by Gmsh were applied to a 2.5D finite element forward modeling program, and the forward calculation results were analyzed using the well-ground joint observation method. The analytical results show that good effects can be obtained by using irregular grids to fit the undulating terrain and using the well-ground joint observation method to explore the geological conditions under the undulating terrain. The effects of the valley terrain on the anomalous response below using different observation devices were also studied. The results achieved are practically significant and they also prove that the Gmsh software has great application value in the forward modeling and meshing based on the finite element method.
