Units

Units

Use the Units option to set the units in which the grids are stored and the units to be reported.

To run this option from the command line, type:

			
   UNITS /volume=units /area=units /distance=units /thickness=units /elevation=units

For example, UNITS /volume=Yards /area=Feet /distance=Feet /thickness=Feet /elevation=Feet

Report

Area

Select the area unit, which is used during reporting.

Volume

Select the volume unit, which is used during reporting. Overburden, interburden and volumetric variables are all reported as volume (coal is converted to a tonnage) as specified in the Density option.

Elevation

Select the elevation units. Incoming elevation units are typically the same as the distance and thickness units.

Project

Distance

Select the distance unit. The distance unit should be the same as that set in the project specification file (.dg1). If these units are different, then the distance unit chosen through Rsvute will be used in calculations instead of the units stated in the .dg1 file.

Thickness

Select the thickness unit. Incoming thickness units are typically the same as the distance unit. The chosen Rsvute thickness unit will be used in calculations instead of the units stated in the .dg1 file.

Density

Use the Density option to set the factor used for the conversion of coal volume. Typically this would be for conversion of coal volume to a tonnage.

To run this option from the command line, type:

PDENSITY /volume_units=value /mass_units=value /factor=value

Example:  DENSITY /volume_units=Feet /mass_units=tons /factor=0.04.

Factor

Enter the density factor to be used as a multiplier to convert the coal volume to tonnage, mass.

Mass Units

Enter the mass units. This specifies the units to be displayed on the reports. The density value is expressed in "mass units" per "volume units". Any text string can be entered in this field,  TONS, TONNES, etc.

Volume Units

Enter the volume units. The density value is expressed in "mass units" per "volume units". You may choose any of the listed volume units as a basis for the density factor.

Precision

Use the Precision option to set the reporting precision, for example values can be reported to the nearest thousand, million etc.

To run this option from the command line, type:

PRECISION /volume=value /area=value /distance=value /thickness=value /mass=value /elevation=value

Example:  PRECISION /volume=1000000.0 /area=0.0 /distance=0.0 /thickness=0.0 /mass=1000.0 /elevation=0.0

The reporting precision for the Distance, Area, Thickness, Volume, Mass, and Elevation may be one of the following:

  • 0

  • 1

  • 10

  • 100

  • 1000

  • 100 0000

  • 1000000000

Classify

Use the Classify option to set the radii for the coal classifications. This in turn allows you to report property reserves by classification. The classifications refer to the model's reliability at set distances from each drillhole.
