Stage Dependency

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

Use the Stage Dependency constraint to define the stage release strategy to be applied, and precedence order in which the pit stages are available. Each pit stage is represented by a separate node on the canvas that displays the stage number, total contained tonnage, and the number of benches within that stage.

Note:  The Stage Dependency is a hard constraint.

To only partially mine a preceding stage before a succeeding stage, double-click the arrow that links the two stages and set up to which bench the preceding stage will be mined before moving to the succeeding stage.
