Process Overview
Create 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.
Input Files

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 |

BENCHID |
Bench identifier field in the BLOCKS file. |

Sequence identifier field in the POINTS file. |
POINTS |
No |
Any |

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. |

Parameters

Required |
Default |
Range |
Values |
SEQALL |
Generate links based solely on the value of the SEQUENCE field (0) |
No |
0 |

0,1 |
CUTINTER |
Generate inter-bench dependency links based on geometry to prevent undercutting. Default is to generate (1) |
No |
1 |
0,1 |
0,1 |
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 |
1 |
0,1 |
0,1 |
ISEQCCYC |
When generating inter-bench sequence links (SEQINTER=1) do not add links if they would cause a cyclic set of links (1). |
No |
1 |
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 |
2 |
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)
