# GEOVIA Minex Grid Models

You add a GEOVIA Minex grid model to a scenario in GEOVIA MineSched by clicking Add in the Models pane. Minex grid models are referenced by files with a .b35 or .b35s extension.

Note: In Minex grid models, the files that contain the structure and quality grid data are located in separate folders.

### Fields on the Model Detail Pane for Minex Grid Models

Field | Description
--- | ---
Name | The name by which you refer to the model in MineSched. The name is automatically populated from the file name. If you want to change the name, type a new name in this field. Note: Reserved words cannot be used for the model Name. If the file name of the model is a reserved word, "_1" is appended to the automatically populated model name. If you type a reserved word for the Name, a warning message appears and the name reverts to the previous name.
Seam sequence file | Automatically populated with the file location of the Minex grid model you added.
Structure grids folder | The folder in which the structure grids are stored.
Quality grids folder | The folder in which the quality grids are stored.
Base weathering grid name | The name of the grid that represents the base of weathering in the seam sequence. This grid must be stored in the Structure grids folder. Note: If the model does not have a base weathering grid, use the name of the uppermost structure grid, or of a topography grid.
Specific gravity
Method | The method you want to use to calculate the specific gravity of each block in the block model. From seam sequence file: The specific gravity values are taken from the specified Seam sequence file. Constant: All blocks have the same specific gravity. The Constant field becomes available for you to type the value for specific gravity for all blocks. Density grid suffix: The specific gravity values are taken from quality grid files that have a specified suffix. The Density grid suffix field becomes available for you to type the suffix.
Constant | The value for the specific gravity for all seams in the grid model.
Density grid suffix | The suffix that MineSched searches for in the quality grid file names to locate the files that contain the values for specific gravity.
