MSO Post Processing Options

Note: Post processing options are only available for Standard Slice Frameworks and Advanced Slice Frameworks.

Modify the shapes that the MSO algorithm generates using post processing options. These manipulate the output shapes which, whilst potentially making them less theoretically optimal, will more closely match the realities of live mining operations, such as environmental or mechanical constraints.

These options are defined via a collection of tools that apply additional refinement steps after the initial stope optimization has been completed. These operations do not influence the optimization algorithm itself but are instead applied to the output stope shapes later to ensure they meet operational, geotechnical, or scheduling requirements.

Post processing adjustments are performed on the final stope solids, allowing you to split, smooth, merge, cut, and generally reshape stopes based on practical constraints. These tools are especially useful for preparing MSO outputs for mine planning stages such as scheduling, development design, and production sequencing.

These steps are optional but can significantly enhance the usability and compliance of the MSO shapes with downstream engineering needs.

Summary

This part of the MSO workflow is used to:

  • Modify the generated stope shapes to better suit your mine's geotechnical realities.
