BREBLOCK

Use this to reblock a sub-blocked model into a regularised block model. Each variable in the resulting block model will be calculated according to the rules contained in a nominated reblocking parameter file.

Usage:

breblock [options] <input model> <output model> <parameter file>

<> indicates a mandatory switch.
[ ] indicates an optional switch

Option Description

[options]

The [options] for this executable are:

-o <file>	Redirect output to a nominated file. You will need to include a file extension, for example '.asc'.
-k <file>	Append output to a nominated file. You will need to include a file extension, for example '.asc'.
-v <variable> [value]	Mask with variable.
-t <triangulation>	Bounding triangulation.
-n <top surface>	Top bounding surface triangulation.
-u <lower surface>	Lower bounding surface triangulation.
-B <triangulation>	Use a single bounding surface.
-Z	Project down the Z-axis, i.e. select the blocks that fall below the nominated surface. If the -Z switch is omitted, then all blocks that fall above the nominated surface will be selected instead. Note: This switch can only be used when a single bounding surface has been specified.
-O	Select blocks outside the solid only.
-bm <xl, xt, yl, yt, zl, zt>	Define the bounding extents using block model co-ordinates. When using this switch, you will need to specify the minimum and maximum X, Y and Z co-ordinates.
-bw <xl, xt, yl, yt, zl, zt>	Define the bounding extents using real world co-ordinates. When using this switch, you will need to specify the minimum and maximum X, Y and Z co-ordinates.
-s <mx, my, mz>	Sub-block dimensions.
-p <a, b, c, d>	Include planed blocks.
-C <condition>	Use conditional expression.
-r <offset>	Provide a plane offset buffer.
-X	Use proportional volumes against solid.

<input model> Refers to the name of the original sub-blocked model.

<output model> Refers to the name of the resulting regularised block model

<parameter file> Refers to the name of the parameter file (.bdf) that contains the calculation rules.
