About Block Model Converter

Block Model Converter™ is a utility for processing block model data used in mining applications and is typically used in conjunction with a mine planning application (GMP) such as GEOVIA GEMS™ or GEOVIA Surpac™. Block Model Converter supports a variety of block model file and database formats for both input and output.

You can use Block Model Converter to convert block model data from one format to another format.

You can also perform re-blocking to do the following:

  • Modify block sizes and attributes of a block model for the conversion process.
  • Modify or constrain data in an existing block model.

You get a high degree of control over the way in which attribute values are calculated and combined when you use Block Model Converter.
