Batch Run

The Batch Run facility allows you to run case studies in sequence automatically. A batch can include any number and combination of Economic Model, Ultimate Pit, Pushbacks and Scheduler case studies.

Note: A case study in a batch will be run if its settings and other inputs are defined. Otherwise, it is skipped.

You can build one batch per document (project). The batch information is stored in the document and can be used at any time.

To add a case study to a batch:

  1. Display the Project Map control bar.

  2. Expand the menu to find a particular case study.

  3. Right-click the study and select Case Study >> Add to Batch.

  4. To include all dependent items in the case study, click Yes at the "Include case descendants?" prompt.

  5. Review the Batch Run Log window for a confirmation of the addition.

To start the batch run:

  1. Ensure all required cases have been added to the batch (see above).

  2. Display the Optimization ribbon.

  3. In the Batch group, click Process.

    The batch run begins.

  4. Once the batch run terminates, the outcome is shown in the Batch Run Log window.

To clear the current batch queue:

  1. Display the Optimization ribbon.

  2. In the Batch group, click Empty.

  3. Review the Batch Run Log window for a confirmation of the deletion.
