Modelling

Source file: modelling.htm

The Modelling group of the Analysis ribbon contains tools that calculate and predict different blast performance indicators of a tie-up. These tools are:

• Observation History

• Vibration Modelling

• Overpressure Modelling

• Fragmentation Modelling

• Fly Rock Modelling

You can select the desired tie-up in the project explorer or view window. Each tool will automatically recognise the tie-up’s source data and perform the analysis based on this data. The only exception is the Fly Rock Modelling tool (see Fly Rock Modelling) that requires you to select the blast and data source you wish to use. However, this gives you an advantage of being able to apply the modelling tools to snapshot data by creating a tie-up with a snapshot data source. For more information on snapshots, see Snapshot.

Each modelling tool will also recognise if the tie-up you select contains reconciled charge and times. The tie-up will contain these actual initiation times and reconciled charge if you have selected the Use reconciled charge and times radio button in the tie-up editor. For more information on this option, see Using reconciled charge and times.
