Surpac tip – Creating dump block models in Surpac to use in MineSched

​​​​​​​In MineSched we can sequence the deposits (fill locations). Fill locations are fixed volumes and defined by block model, which are the final destination of materials. Once the material sent to a fill location, it cannot be moved to another location of any kind. To do this, we must create dump models so that MineSched has a volume of material to destine this material. The following example indicates a quick technique for creating block models designs from design in Surpac, and subsequent use in MInesched.

Surpac Tip – Pit Design, top to bottom

Mining/Design Engineers often need to design pits from a top boundary with varying RL values, while subsequent benches require fixed RL designs with ramps. GEOVIA Surpac provides the capability to create benches with fixed RL, using delta Z up to the desired elevation, making pit design more efficient and precise.

Surpac tip – Meshing point clouds faster

Point cloud processing in Surpac, available since version 6.8, continues to advance and handle increasingly large datasets, such as a 4GB file with 155 million points. While Surpac can display such clouds on capable hardware, creating a DTM from them raises key questions: are all the points necessary, and would the resulting massive DTM be practical for further analysis or calculations?
