Surpac String Models

You add a GEOVIA Surpac string model to a scenario in GEOVIA MineSched by clicking Add in the Models pane. The types of string models you can choose are:

point centroid models for production scheduling
polygon models for development scheduling

The fields available on the Model Detail pane change depending on the type of model you have added.

Tip: If any of the data required for the string model is not available in the model you want to use, you can populate the data into description fields using the STRING MATHS function in GEOVIA Surpac.

Fields on the Model Detail Pane for Point Centroid String 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.
File name	Automatically populated with the file location of the string model you added.
Material d-field	The description field of the string in which the material class is stored.
Mass d-field	The description field of the string in which the mass values are stored.
Volume d-field	The description field of the string in which the volume values are stored.
Volume adjustment d-field	The description field of the string in which the volume adjustment factor is stored. The Volume adjustment d-field is optional, you can leave it blank.

Fields on the Model Detail Pane for Polygon String 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.
File name	Automatically populated with the file location of the string model you added.
Material d-field	The description field of the string in which the material class is stored.
Height d-field	The description field of the string in which the height values are stored.
Volume adjustment d-field	The description field of the string in which the volume adjustment factor is stored. The Volume adjustment d-field is optional, you can leave it blank.
Specific gravity
Method	The method you want to use to calculate the specific gravity, or density, of each block in the block model. The specific gravity is used to calculate the mass of each block. 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. D-field: The specific gravity varies and is stored in a description field in the string model. The Density d-field field becomes available for you to select the description field in the string that contains the specific gravity values.
Constant	The value for the specific gravity for all blocks in the block model.
Density d-field	The description field of the string in which the density values are stored.
