Stage Availability

Source file: stage-availability.htm

Use the Stage Availability constraint to flag the availability of pit stages in each period.

Note:  The Stage Availability constraint is a hard constraint.

Once you add this constraint to your setup, all of the stages will be initially set to Available, which will be indicated by the green cells. To change the stage mining to unavailable for a given period, double-click on the corresponding cell. The cell will be changed to Unavailable, which will be also indicated by red colour.

  • Click the button once to copy the properties of the current period to the next period.

  • Double-click the button to copy the properties of the current period to the subsequent periods until the end of the schedule.

  • Alternatively, copy a cell's setting using Ctrl+C , then paste it into selected cells with Ctrl+V.
