Automated Dump Design
Your application provides a set of tools for the automated design of both pits and dumps.
This topic provides a summary of these tools. For an overview of how pit and dump design tasks can be used, click here.
Task Prerequisities
To access the Dump Design task, the following must exist:
-
a dump must be defined.
-
dump slope regions must be defined.
Optionally, you may can create or load constraint strings to constrain your dump projection.
A topography file may be defined, but if one does not exist, the toe string of the lowest lift will be closed to create a volume.
Key Functions
The Auto Dump Design task is split into the following sections:
-
Auto Dump Design—define the design projection direction (bottom-up, top-down) and set up roads and constraints. You can also use this panel to calculate new design strings and surfaces (according to your geotechnical parameters) and decide if lift evaluation will be performed, and how.
See Dynamic Dump Design.
-
Conditioning—configure how design strings for dumps are blended between regions. It is also used to set up other rules for how strings are projected, such as the maximum slope or berm width change over a given distance and how filleting radii are applied.
-
Berm Tapering—control how (or if) berm tapering is applied, either throughout the dump or for individual lift constraints.
-
Advanced—define advanced settings for your automated designs, such as how gradients are calculated/applied, the evaluation legend to be used and what colours to use to display design strings and surfaces.
