Bulk Cut Generator: Tool to cut solids in a simple and fast way. Do you need to generate solid cuts for your sequencing or project? With the Bulk Cut Generator tool, located in the Op Eng Tools menu, you can simply and quickly cut solids using a set of lines or polygons as boundaries. With these geometries, the user can define limits that accurately represent their feeds, producing cuts or operational feeds that can be used as input in mining sequencing tools. After specifying the input data, it is possible to use the Preview option to visualize the result, in which each color represents a cut. With the Apply option, the result is saved in a geometric object. Cuts can be named automatically using Wildcards and the naming order can be set…
Shortcuts and Hot Key Assignment: a quick and easy way to access resources in MinePlan 3D. Did you know that within MP3D there is a hot key (set of shortcut keys) already configured to optimize access to the various tools and resources present in the software? The complete list of these shortcuts can be viewed at: Help > Hot Key Help Dialog. Here's an example of what you'll find there: Figure 01 – Examples of shortcuts in MP3D Didn't find what you were looking for? Don't worry. The Hot Keys Assignment feature in the Help menu allows users to define custom shortcuts through key combinations to launch MinePlan 3D functions and tools. The shortcut keys created are defined by each user and are available for use in all projects. Settings can also…
Compress Model: Block Model Optimization Do you know how big your Block Model is? Is the project hogging the network or disk space? In situations where block model files are large, taking up considerable disk space, it is recommended to create a compressed model with the Compress Model option. Through the Compress Model it is possible to keep only the necessary blocks in the model. This is done by using solids that represent a workspace, which reduces the number of blocks to be used in procedures. In the following image, blocks can be seen outside the work area represented by the surface of the Final Pit. These blocks are irrelevant to the work related to this Pit. Figure 01 – View of the Model with the Pit To apply the Compress Model,…
Process Point: Optimized sequencing even more detailed in MPSO. In today's Tips & Tricks we'll bring you a new feature that will make MinePlan Schedule Optimizer (MPSO ) even better: Process Point. A new destination type that allows you to customize changes in grade, qualities and quantities as the material passes through a specific location in the process flow. With it, it is possible to elaborate a sequencing taking into account all the details of your mine, thus making it part of the optimization process in the MPSO. Working as a material entry and exit point, the Process Point allows, through simple calculations made in the Python language, that the material is transformed in relation to parameters such as mass, content, recovery and sent to another destination that meets a certain specification. Therefore, it is possible to insert the Process Point representing plants of…
Reconciliation Tool: Greater practicality for analysis between planned and accomplished. In today's Tips & Tricks, we have a novelty to present, the Reconciliation Tool, a very practical tool for calculations and analysis between the planned and the carried out in a mining plan. Through it we can analyze the efficiency of the mine during a certain period, that is, it will analyze the volume between what was planned and executed in the mine, making it simple to obtain solids from the topographical surfaces. The Reconciliation Tool is accessed from the OP Eng Tools menu in MP3D. The tool has 02 windows to be configured, in the first one, the user will specify the directory where the result will be saved, the start and end date of the reconciliation and also the name of the object that will be generated. This one, allows it to be manually named and/or…
Hi! We would like to announce the release of “MinePlan 2020 Release 1” available on the Hexagon Mining website under the “Client Center” section, which can be accessed via the link //client-portal.hexagonmining.com/ClientPortal.aspx. The highlights of this release are: the new Reconciliation Tool, configuration of custom hotkeys through the Hot Keys option, integration with Leyca Cyclone 3DR and the option of Process Points type destinations in MinePlan Schedule Optimizer (MPSO) Below you can check the complete list with the various fixes and improvements: HxGN MinePlan 3D 15.70 includes the following improvements: New Tools and Features: Remote Folder, a functionality to create remote folders that allows dynamic links to external projects; Hot Keys feature allows users to define custom hotkeys in MP3D; Implementation of the Leyca Cyclone 3DR integration with the Nova Reconciliation Tool,…
In order not to need to re-enter the data of a certain type of equipment, it is possible to store this information in the project's database. This option is accessed by clicking the “Equipment Repository” icon in the MSHaulage “Equipment” menu. Information such as physical availability, utilization, payload and speed curves, fuel consumption and rimpull are stored and if you start a new MSHaulage project, in the same database as your project, just enter the above command and load the equipment that interests you. It is also possible to export equipment saved in the “Equipment Repository” from an MSHaulage so that they can be imported into another database. This option allows you to have a database of your mine's loading and transport equipment and eliminates the need to always fill in the same equipment data.
