In the Schedule Sequence step, the mining schedule is able to be reviewed so that the stage plan can be generated for the correct point in time.
Navigation
Drag the slider to move forward and backward through the transactions.
Use Previous Period and Next Period buttons to jump between time periods.
Click a row in the table to view a specific transaction by number, Period, Block Type, Block Name, percentage remaining, and possible errors.
Use the Layers panel to import and toggle different designs and surfaces. For more details about this panel, functionality see here.
For users of third-party scheduling applications, press the Import Schedule button to import from CSV.
Generating A Stage Plan
Press the Generate Stage Plans button and select the appropriate export option.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
All Periods | A zip file containing a stage plan for each period |
To File | A single stage plan exported to file |
To Layer | A single stage plan exported to the layers panel |
If “To File” or “To Layer” was chosen, additional export options will appear.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Current View | A stage plan will be generated for the period currently selected in the record transaction table. |
Initial State | A stage plan will be generated based on the initial state of the imported solids. |
End of Period | A stage plan will be generated based on the state of the solids at the end of defined period. |
Stage Plan Settings
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
Surfaces | |
Topo | Specified Topo surface will be stitched into the stage plan. |
Pit Designs | Specified Pit Design surface will be stitched into the stage plan. |
Dump Designs | Specified Dump Design surface will be stitched into the stage plan. |
Options | |
Clip Blocks by Design | Clips any blocks that extend below the pit design or above the dump design. |
Grid Constraints | ‘Full Extents’ includes all data in the stage plan. ‘Blocks’ limits the data in the stage plan to only selected Blocks. |
Grid Resolution | Grid size of the resulting stage plan. Smaller grid size will give a more detailed surface at the price of processing time and file size. |
Surface Morphing | |
Suface | Suvery surface which contains the current face positions. |
Method | |
Vertical | Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted vertically and repositioned in the void that exists between the Productuion Surface and Schedule Solid. This method honors the volume of the void and the volume filling it. Once the void has been filled, any excess material will occupy the foot print of the orignal solid but at a reduced height.  |
Horizontal | Material from the Schedule Solid will be depleted horizontally and repositioned in the void that exists between the Productuion Surface and Schedule Solid. Materil will fill the void in the opposite direction as the solid is being depleted. This method honors the volume of the void and the volume filling into it.Once the void has been filled, any excess material will be left at its original height but occupy a reduced foot print of the original solid.  |
Forced | Material from the Schedule Solid will be repositioned in the void that exists between the Productuion Surface and Schedule Solid. This method does not honor the volume of the void and the volume of material going into it. Once the void has been filled, any excess material will be thrown away.  |
