Export Analysis Sets

If analysis sets have been created in the project, the data can be exported in various formats for use in other applications.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the Analysis menu.
  2. Select Export from the Reports menu group.

    The Export Wizard displays.

  3. Select Analysis Sets.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select the 3D image to export data from.
  6. Select the analysis set data to be exported from the tree. Different analysis set types have different export options, as detailed below.
    • Filtered Set
        1. Select an Export Format from:
          • Text – ASCII formatted text file.
          • CSV – Comma separated Excel spreadsheet.
          • DXF – Data Exchange File format used by most CAD software products.
          • Datamine – Datamine DM data interchange format.
          • Dips – DIPS compatible format file.
          • Surpac – SURPAC (STR) string format file.
          • MineSight – MINESIGHT (XYZ) compatible file format.
        2. Export Spatial Data – Whether to include the spatial data representing the mapped discontinuities.
        3. Nodes – Export the easting, northing and height data for each node or point mapped on the image that makes up a trace or plane.
        4. Disc Outlines – Export each discontinuity’s fitted plane as 37 points representing a circle with a diameter equal to the persistence of the discontinuity. This allows for the visualisation of planes in other software packages.
        5. Attributes – Select which attributes to include in the output by selecting the required items in the Excluded Attributes list and clicking the right arrow button to move the items into the Included Attributes list.

          Note: Attributes display in the output file in the order they are listed in the Included Attributes column.

      • Orientation Set
        1. Select whether to export the Set statistics or Discontinuity attributes.
        2. Select an Export Format from:
          • Text – ASCII formatted text file.
          • CSV – Comma separated Excel spreadsheet.
          • Dips – DIPS compatible format file.
      • Discontinuities
        1. Select an Export Format from:
          • Text – ASCII formatted text file.
          • CSV – Comma separated Excel spreadsheet.
          • DXF – Data Exchange File format used by most CAD software products.
          • Datamine – Datamine DM data interchange format.
          • Dips – DIPS compatible format file.

        2. Export Spatial Data – Whether to include the spatial data representing the mapped discontinuities.
        1. Nodes – Export the easting, northing and height data for each node or point mapped on the image that makes up a trace or plane.
        2. Disc Outlines – Export each discontinuity’s fitted plane as 37 points representing a circle with a diameter equal tothe persistence of the discontinuity. This allows for the visualisation of planes in other software packages.
        3. Attributes – Select which attributes to include in the output by selecting the required items in the Excluded Attributes list and clicking the right arrow button to move the items into the Included Attributes list.

          Note: Attributes display in the output file in the order they are listed in the Included Attributes column.

      • Block Analysis and Wedge Analysis
        1. Select an Export Format from:
          • Text – ASCII formatted text file.
          • DXF – Data Exchange File format used by most CAD software products.
  7. Select the Destination Folder to save the exported files to, by clicking the ellipsis (...).
  8. Click Next.
  9. Click Finish.
