Introduction

This process generates open pit block bench links based on input mining block outline strings and activity points, plus (optionally) a points file defining the location of bench exits.

Files, Fields and Parameters

Input Files

Name

Description

I/O Status

Required

Type

BLOCKS

Block outlines for sequencing. The file must contain the fields:- XP,YP,ZP,PTN,PVALUE (numeric, explicit). The file may contain multiple blocks.

Input

Yes

String data

POINTS

Input points file. There should be a Point for each block outline. This file can be created using the PROPER process

Input

Yes

Point data

EXITPNTS

Optional points file of bench exit locations

Input

No

Output

Yes

String data

Output sequence and dependency string file. This file will be created.

Fields

Required

Type

Default

BENCHID

Bench identifier field in the BLOCKS file.

BLOCKS

No

Undefined

BLOCKID

Unique Block identifier field (Usually SEGMENT in 5D Planner data) in the BLOCKS and POINTS files.

No

Any

Undefined

SEQUENCE

Sequence identifier field in the POINTS file.

POINTS

No

Any

Undefined

PUSHBACK

Push back identifier field in the BLOCKS file. If this is supplied then no inter-bench geometry based links (parameter CUTINTER=1) will be created between blocks with different pushback values.

BLOCKS

No

Any

Undefined

EXIT X/Y/Z

X/Y/Z Coordinate field in the EXITPNTS file.

EXITPNTS

Parameters

Values

SEQALL

Generate links based solely on the value of the SEQUENCE field (0)

CUTINTER

Generate inter-bench dependency links based on geometry to prevent undercutting. Default is to generate (1)

No

SEQINTRA

Generate intra-bench links using the SEQUENCE field. Default is to generate (1)

No

SEQINTER

Generate inter-bench links using the SEQUENCE field. Default is to generate (1)

No

ISEQCCYC

When generating inter-bench sequence links (SEQINTER=1) do not add links if they would cause a cyclic set of links (1).

No

0,1

0,1

INPBACKS

When generating inter-bench geomtetry links (CUTINTER=1) only add links if they connect blocks in the same pushback (1). Generate links within same pushback or from lower to higher numbered pushback (2). Blocks with absent value for PUSHBACK will not be tested and may have links created between them based on geometry

No

0,2

0,1,2

BENSQSRT

When generating intra-bench sequence links control how the data is sorted to determine the block sequence order. This will tend to generate more intra bench links but may lose optimality between pushbacks. Default is to sort only on SEQUENCE (0)

  1. Sort on Sequence only. Only available if the SEQUENCE field has been specified.
  2. Sort on Bench and Sequence. Only available if the SEQUENCE field has been specified.
  1. Sort on X,Y.
  2. Sort on Y,X.
  3. Sort on distance from exit points. Only available if the EXITPNTS file has been supplied.
