Introduction

Produces a regular cell model for pit optimization.  

This can be performed on any type of Datamine block model.


Files, Fields and Parameters

Input Files

Name

Description

I/O Status

Required

Type

IN1

Input model prototype file, defining the new model origin, number of cells and cell sizes. This is typically set up by process PROTOM. The fields required are XMORIG, YMORIG, ZMORIG, NX, NY, NZ, XINC, YINC, ZINC (all implicit) and IJK, XC, YC, and ZC (all explicit).

Input

Yes

Block Model Prototype

IN2

Input model file for conversion. This must have the fields XMORIG, YMORIG, ZMORIG, NX, NY, NZ (implicit) and IJK, XC, YC and ZC (explicit). XINC, YINC and ZINC must exist as either explicit (sub-cells permitted) or implicit (no sub-cells). There must also be at least one explicit numeric data field, to be specified as F1. The records may be in any order, but speed is greatly increased if they are in IJK order.

Input

Yes

Block Model

Output

Yes

Block Model File

Output model file. This will have the model parameters of the input prototype file on IN1 , and may contain up to five averaged fields ( F1-F5). It will also contain the fields OREVOL, WASVOL and AIRVOL.
