Stage Accumulation

Source file: strategy-setups-constraints-stage-accumulation.htm

Use the Stage Accumulation constraint to specify a maximum constraint for any item in the model, on a stage by period basis.

You can use this constraint to limit items like the following:

  • Ore tonnes

  • Total tonnes

  • Drilling hours

  • Acid consumption

  • Contaminant levels

Note:  The Stage Accumulation constraint is a hard constraint.

To configure the stage accumulation, select an attribute from the Item drop-down and then specify the maximum amount of material that can be mined from a stage in each period.

  • 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.
