Solid Models

A reserve (or solid) model consists of a table of information and a 3D model that contains irregularly shaped units of material. Every unit (called a solid) shares a set of attributes.

The information in a reserve model is stored in a table of columns and rows where each column represents a shared property, which are known as an attribute and each row represents an observation for a particular solid.

There are three types of reserve models:

  • A reserve pit that represents a mine pit.

  • A reserve waste utility that represents a site for waste storage.

  • A reserve stockpile, a temporary destination for material, to be sent to the mill later.

You can have multiple models of each type in a single setup.
