Simulation software

designschedulingfor the mining industry

Quickly calculate volumes, generate tonnage reports, design pits, and produce accurate, customized reports with Carlson Software’s renowned ease of use. Inspect mine designs in plan, section, and 3D View. 3D PITS AND SPOIL DESIGN • Design pits with varying highwall angles and bench parameters • Construct spoil piles in a variety of shapes and styles • Incorporate ramps in the pit or spoil pile with berms and ditches automatically, or with RoadNetwork from Carlson Civil • Designate benches by strata, elevation, width, or depth PIT, PROPERTY, & SPOIL LAYOUTS • Utilize multiple pit layout algorithms to represent full mine pits or simply subdivide reserves into smaller production blocks for short-term scheduling • Subdivide and identify pits with property lines to automatically calculate royalties with Surface Mine Reserves • Calculate reserves from drillholes on-the-fly, block models, or stratified geologic models • Choose between vertical quantities, overall highwall slopes, or detailed bench layback designs • Store quantities and qualities into the pits for scheduling • Create full reports including volume, tonnage, quality, area, and strip ratios • Analyze deposits with Reserve Classification for measured, indicated, inferred, and hypothetical categorization in Surface Mine Reserves HAUL TRUCK CYCLE ANALYSIS • Define fleet productivity • Incorporate different truck types into one fleet • Create haul road networks for possible routes based on color-coded 3D polylines representing actual slope and length • Calculate cycle time, as well as overall productivity or required fleet size • Simulate haulage in a 3D movie • Link to spoil and dump scheduling routines
