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…
