Block Model Attributes
Use the Output | Block Model Attributes tab to specify fields in the block model for the mine (as specified in Optimisation | Stope Optimiser | Mine | Definition | Model | Block Model) that are to be updated with results from the optimisation.
Block Model Fields Update
Specify the following settings for each field in the block model for the mine that is to be updated with results from the optimisation.
Field
Select the field from the block model for the mine that is to be updated with results from the optimisation.
Output
Select the result from the optimisation that is to be saved in the field in the block model.
The following results can be saved for each block:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Extraction Number |
Unique number assigned to the identifiable “extraction” of which the block forms part. |
| Refer to Optimisation | Stope Optimiser | Mine > Definition | Output | Staging Points for more information. | |
|
Classification |
Classification (“Ore” or “Waste”) assigned to the block at RAF = 1.0. |
|
Processing Facility Code |
(Optimisation | Stope Optimiser | Mine > Definition | Model | Block Model | Optimisation Value | Calculate from element revenues and costs only.) |
| Code for the processing facility assigned to the block at RAF = 1.0. | |
|
Optimisation Value |
Value assigned to the block for the purposes of the optimisation. |
|
Refer to Optimisation | Stope Optimiser | Mine > Definition | Model | Block Model | Optimisation Value for more information. |
|
|
Stage Code |
Code assigned to the stage in which the extraction that contains the block was included. |
|
Stage Parameter |
Revenue Adjustment Factor (RAF) for which the stage, in which the extraction that contains the block was included, was created. |
|
Custom Value |
User-defined value. |
Type
(Custom Value only.) Select the type of value to be saved in the field in the block model.
Width
(Custom Value with NUMERIC or CHARACTER only.) Specify the maximum number of characters to be saved in the field in the block model.
Decimals
(Custom Value with NUMERIC, REAL or FLOAT only, optional.) Specify the number of decimal places to be displayed for the values in the field.
Value
(Custom Value only, optional.) Specify the value to be saved in the field.
This value will be saved in the field for each block in the model.
Clear
(Optional.) Select to clear all existing values from the field in the block model.
This will ensure that all values are removed from the field before the block model is updated.
Overwrite
(Optional.) Select to overwrite any values already stored in the field in the block model.
Existing values will remain unchanged if you do not select this option.
