Activities in Diagram"A0: S5DP Open Pit" A1: Define Design Parameters

Description:

Define Important Pit Parameters

A2: Create Pit Design
Description:

Essentially a Semi-Automatic process that allows the user to create pit outlines, berms and roads from user defined parameters such as Face angle, bench height, berm width, road width. Berms may be tapered inside/outside, and colours assigned to the bench and berm. This data could be taken from a block model. Road colour, gradient and width are also defined.
A3: Create Mining Blocks (Complex Solids)
Description:

This creates the mining blocks from a combination of the grid/bench strings and the resulting pit and topography wireframes.

Description:

Each solid's centreline (in Z) will be computed along with the centrepoint of the string. This represents the Complex Solid Design type (walls and points).

A5: Create Dependencies

Description:

Creation of dependencies in S5DP using both automatic and manual methods on the walls and points file. Solids are loaded for reference. The roads will have an implicit sequence if they are continuous.

Activities in Diagram"A1: Define Design Parameters" A11: Define Pit Parameters A12: Create/Import Grid Layers
Description:

Create one or more generated grids or import string files to be used on certian benches. A single grid file could be used for the whole pit.
A13: Associate Grid to Benches
Description:

This would identify which grid would be used on which bench (top down). The output would be used together with the Pit Wireframes to create complex solids that can be sequenced.

Activities in Diagram"A3: Create Mining Blocks (Complex Solids)" A31: Create Pit Outline Wireframe
Description:

This creates the shell wireframe of the pit using the pit strings.

A32: Create Enclosed Pit Wireframe

Description:

This creates a wireframe using the boolean operator Difference and preserving the enclosed wireframe shape of the pit and topography. This should be a single surface. The wireframe should be verified. Pit strings should be clipped to the wireframe outline and all strings outside the pit should be deleted.

A33: Create Road Wireframe

Description:

This will create the Road solids from the pit road strings.

Description:

Takes the Closed Pit Wireframe and Pit grid or bench strings and applies the strings over the bench and creates wireframes from the volume that is enclosed. This will save the CXS Solids to a datamine file.

A35: Create Final CXS Solids

Description:

This process will remove the road solids from the CXS Solids and combine the two wirerframes. The resulting wireframe will have road solids in green and pit solids in a different user-defined colour. The resulting wireframes represent the Complex Solid Design type (solids).
