In this paper we show a solution for a seismic ray tracing in 3D problems on convert wave in anisotropic medium. The equations involve in the seismic equation are severely no linear, in that way, we introduce a globalization technique that make possible find a solution from any initial iterate for resolve this kind of equation. We use a method developed for a search of minimum and the convergence of the method is guaranteed. Too we implement a visual tool that permits to represent similar situations to the geological realities. We compare two techniques of optimization, we use the times of prosecution of the algorithms and the graphic representations of the designed rays on an assembly of geological anisotropy media.
