The Locally Varying Anisotropy (LVA) method can be applied to account for arbitrary search paths for grade estimation, improving results when modelling complex stratiform orebodies.Įnhancements to underground ring design and underground mine design tools are also included.Ī new tool for designing highwall ramps will save time, with the sequence of designs saved and easily replicated on different strips. Instead of re-running reserves based on a new design, a single mouse-over on a point shows new reserve information.Ī new expressions tool assigns the properties of an object as attributes, for example, tonnage and grade from a block model can be stored against the design object and updated on demand. Any edits are automatically updated in the downstream process. The new object attributes feature in Vulcan 9 means that unlimited information about an object is available on demand for making better decisions. Geologists can spend more time refining interpretations, rather than generating basic models. Users will be able to combine implicit modelling with existing Vulcan tools to create their own approach for generating complex 3D surfaces. The amount of data users can load and manipulate is only restricted by their hardware.” “Vulcan 9 has new and improved capabilities for modelling, object attribution, underground design, and a completely new graphics engine. “Vulcan 9 gives users the freedom to apply their expertise to solve tasks in the way they want,” said Vulcan Product Manager, Eric Gonzalez.
