BRESERVE_V2

Use this to calculate reserves.

Usage:

breserve_v2 [options] <model> <parameter_file>

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

Where:

Option

Description

[options]

The [options] for this executable are:

-P	Use parameter file.*
-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 suface>	Lower bounding surface triangulation.*
-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.*
-Q	Only calculate solids in block model.
-T	Use region name when outputting to a file. If this switch is not specified, then the object name will be used instead.

<model>

Refers to the name of the block model that you want to use when calculating the block reserves.

<parameter_file>

Refers to the name of the file that will be used to perform the calculations.

* Switches can be used in Templated Attributes Expressions.

The -o switch can be specified, for example -o myfile.dmp -o myfile.csv. Doing so will allow you to output to two files without having to recalculate the reserves.

The following warning messages displays if any triangulations have small area faces or coincident points.

Triangulation <tfi> has one or more small area faces and two or more coincident points.

In most cases the program will work correctly on triangulations with small faces or coincident points. However, if the triangulation contains a topological inconsistency, it is necessary to run trisnap on the triangulation to remove coincident points. Also, all triangulations should be checked for consistency and stability with the Model > Triangle Utility > Check option.
