HI. Materials

In the Materials step enter material types and properties, such as density, moisture and swell factors.

Materials step overview

Recommended Usage

Enter the absolute minimum number of materials required to accurately model haulage.

  • If two materials have different truck payloads, split them.

  • If two materials have different load times, split them.

Many models simply have “rock” as a single material, or “ore” and “waste” as two materials.

Material Properties

Haul Infinity makes all calculations in wet tonnes (dry tonnes + moisture) by default. It uses the Moisture and Swell fields to convert between wet tonnes, dry tonnes, and volume for productivity reporting.

Tactical Scheduler completely ignores the Moisture and Swell fields in Haul Infinity, since it already has those values in the reserves database.
