A. Parameters
Once the simulation module enabled, a window opens on the tab Settings \ Bench Hole

a)

Bench and Hole

In this tab you can change the loading pattern, the bench geometry.

Loading tempaltes available are those you created previously for the selected site. Selection is made through a drop down menu. To create a loading template, please refer to II-C User Manual Vol. 1 : Design a blast

Here is an example of a bench set :

b)

Geology

Click on Geology to define the geology you want for your blast simulation.

You can select a default geology or a pre-defined one (geology defined previously by yourself). But you might as well set a new geology by completing the fields. CAUTION: Changes applied will be done only for the one hole simulation and will NOT be applied to the site. To change the geology of a site, please refer to III-E Users Manual Vol 1 Design a blast.

By default, no fracture was recorded in your bench geology. It is however possible here to define one by choosing a global dip and then determinate banks spacing and measured orientation if necessary.

Once the general direction of your dip defined, you can fill the selected fileds: Altitude : height of the foregead from which the fracture begins Angle : real dip fracturing class Thickness : spacing between the fractures Multiple dip is a specifice type, in this one you will be allow to manage two fractures class at the same time.

Fragmentation raw data

You can click in Fragmentation \ Settings to display the raw data of the simulation that will appear in the form of a histogram and a gray curve.

A second scale can be added to the chart to see more details of the fragmentation distribution.

By passing the mouse over a histogram bar youll see a tooltip that will contain data on the bar of the histogram.

Comparison of simulations

A. Saving simulation results

Once the simulation is completed, you can save it from the tab Settings with a simple drag and drop of the graphic into the white cartridge at the bottom of the window.

A thumbnail will appear with an identifying number.

This way you can run simulations by varying your settings (bench, loading, geology,) and save each og them to compare them in fine .

After several simulations carried out and saved, you will now see thumbnails of all simulations.

B. Removing one or several backup

You can always remove one or more simulations stored by selecting them and clicking the delete button located in the lower right corner of the window.

C. Comparison of results saved

Once the desired backups made and stored, you can compare them. In order, select the settings that you can achieve your fragmentation distribution goals. To do so, start by selecting the results you want (minimum two), and click compare at the bottom right of the window.

To make a multiple selection, you can use the CTRL or SHIFT keys on your keyboard while selecting the thumbnails using the right click of your mouse.

By clicking the Compare button, you enter in the comparison tab (accessible only by this operation).

In the left graph is the set of distribution curves corrected. The identification number established when the results of each backup, you can find information about this simulation in the table at right.

The right panel allows you to view settings and bench parameters and also the summary of the fragmentation results. Selecting a row in this table will result in targeting the distribution curve corrected related to selected outcomes.
