BMINE
Use this to report on the proportion of a block that falls in a nominated triangulation(s). The 'mined-out' value, which can be reported as a percentage or fraction, will be written to a specified block model variable.
Usage:
bmine [options] <block model> <variable>
<> indicates a mandatory switch.
[ ] indicates an optional switch |
Where:
|
[options]
|
The [options] for this executable are:
|
-F
|
Treats the mined variable as a fraction variable.
|
|
-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: Â 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.
|
|
| <block model> |
Refers to the block model that you want to write to. |
| <variable> |
Refers to the variable that will be used to contain the percentage mined. |
N ote The following warning messages displays if any triangulations have small area faces or coincident points.
Note triangulation <tfi> has one or more small area faces.
Note triangulation <tfi> has 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 trisnapon the triangulation to remove coincident points. Also, all triangulations should be checked for consistency and stability with the Model > Triangle Utility > Check option.
