Constraints

You can refine your data to meet specific targets by applying constraints to specific attributes in your models.

To add a constraint to your data you need to:

1. Choose a constraint.

   Click next to the constraint you want to add from the Available Constraints. The constraint will appear in the list of Applied Constraints.

   

2. Configure the constraint.

   Select a constraint from the Applied Constraints list to open up a configuration panel.

   For configuration of specific constraints, choose from the list below.

To delete an applied constraint, go to the Applied Constraints list, select the appropriate constraint and click .

The following constraints are available for Origin Blocks setups:

Constraint	Hard/ Soft	Description
Maximum Active Benches	S	Specifies the maximum number of benches that can be mined in a stage at a given point in time per period.
Priority Blocks	H	Flags a set of blocks to be mined ahead of others.
Stage Bench Turnover	H	Specifies the overall maximum number of benches that can be mined in a stage per period.
Stage and Waste Utility Dependency	H	Assigns waste areas to transfer blocks of material according to their stage.
Stockpile Availability	H	Flags the availability of a stockpile for material transfer per period.
Waste Area Availability	H	Flags the availability of a waste area for material transfer per period.
Waste Area Dependency	H	Places waste areas in order of priority according to dependencies between them.
Waste Area Required Tonnage	H (within one block)	Defines the maximum amount of waste that can be transferred to each waste area.
