Description

There is solid information with application on the process that is used to make string files from the given database containing drillholes. The drillholes that come in excel are to be saved as text delimited in the excel form. After they are ready they are used as the database files to be imported to GEOVIA Surpac. The correct way of the database input is given in the course. There is a topography excel to be imported to excel. After all the database is set, string files are designed through Surpac which are to be used for DTM creation. The lower and the upper coal seam are designed from the drillholes. Drillhole database interface look is taken into consideration. After the string files are all formed the open pit string design is created through the normal string formation method. After the string files are formed, the DTMs are created from the string files. The topography DTM and the open pit DTM are clipped and intersected on the lower triangles. Finally we get the open pit DTM files thus our OPEN PIT DESIGN class is complete. Apart from the design, plane taking, database creation and contouring has been included in the course as some free tools to use, so enjoy the ride.
