Steps Logic
Steps Logic controls how material can move through the site during a given period. It has two potential uses:
Convert a single schedule transaction into one or more final transactions (steps).
Assign the fleet to each final transaction.
For example, the schedule transaction "Pit to Crusher" can be split into "80% direct tip, 20% rehandle" with a different fleet for each movement.
Each rule lists the Steps for transactions that match its filter criteria:
Period Filters: may differentiate changes in movement pathways.
Agent Filters: may differentiate autonomous and crewed fleets.
Source Filters: may differentiate ex-pit from rehandle fleets.
Destination Filters: may differentiate trucks that can use the overpass, or fit in the crusher bin.
Note that the Destination Filter is only used to evaluate schedule transactions. To deactivate a destination, remove references to it from the Destination Logic.
Steps Logic Destination Filters have no effect on the scheduled destination. They are filters only. See the Destination Logic to change the destination.
Tips
Between the pit and the waste dump, there is one (100%) pathway, trafficked by the production fleet.
Between the stockpile and the crusher there is one (100%) pathway, trafficked by the rehandle fleet.
Between the pit and the crusher there may be:
One (60%) direct tip pathway, trafficked by the production fleet.
One (40%) stockpile pathway, trafficked by the production fleet.
One (40%) rehandle pathway, trafficked by the rehandle fleet.
If you type a field name (i.e. myRatio) instead of a number (i.e. 40%) then this adds a row to the Calendar to change the ratios by period.
Rules can be copied by holding down the <CTRL> key and dragging on the clipboard icon.
Rules can be archived and shared via the save icon and import icon in the top right of the form.
These rules can be used to split movement across multiple pathways and multiple fleets.
