DEFN Overwritten No Undefined Definition file. Must contain the following fields:- FIELD, TYPE, LENGTH, STORED, FORM, FMIN, FMAX, INCR, VALUES. If neither the input file nor the definition file exist, both will be created. If the input file does not exist, but a definition file is entered, then the input file

Notes Automatic creation of definition file.

If the input file does not exist, and no definition file was entered, then a definition file will be created as the initial stage of editing. Values are entered into it in exactly the same way as for any other file. The definition file is created to allow you to set up all the field names, types, lengths etc. that you require in the file you will be entering. The definition file also allows you to set up field maxima and minima and permitted values for validation.

Names/meanings of fields are given on next help screen. On exit (/E command) then the definition file will be saved as "name".%, where "name" is the name of the input file, and a file data definition will be created from the definition file for you to enter data into.

If you exit the editor using Quit (/Q) or Output (/O) then the definition file will be lost and AED abandoned.

The definition fields are:-

FIELD The field name you require (up to 8 chars). TYPE A (alphanumeric) or N (Numeric) only. LENGTH In characters of the field: 4 for numeric. STORED Y (Yes, for explicit) or N (No, implicit). FORM Reserved for format; not currently used. FMIN Minimum permitted value (numeric fields). FMAX Maximum permitted value (numeric fields). INCR Control on field values, appended records: - Field will initially be set to default; 0 Field will be same as preceding record; +n Numeric field will be incremented by n. VALUES If one entry only: a default value. If more than one, separated by commas, a full set of permitted values for the field.

Sub-commands.

These apply to all files, including the definition file. All commands are followed by .

z /A Set current field blank

z /B Bottom of file.

z /C/name/ Change field name

z /n,mD Delete lines n,m

z /E End editor, saving file

z /F/field/ Set edit field.

z /N Append new line

will be created from the definition file. Whenever a definition file exists, it may be used for validation. If both the input and the validation file exist, then input file entries will be validated against the definition file.

APPHLP Input file containing application specific help information that will be included in the help display. An alphanumeric field named APPHLP will be expected, with a maximum of 56 characters displayed.

If the IN file does not exist and no definition file DEFN is specified, then a definition file will be created, called "name".%. If the IN file name ends with %, then the definition file will be called "name".. On exit (/E) from creating the definition file, then this file will be written to "name".$, which will subsequently copied to "name".% before being cleared. The Data Definition for file "name" will then be created, and editing proceeds in the usual way.

UNSORTED

Unsorted flag. Default (0).

Option Description

0- An accumulated total is written to the OUT file every time the keyfield[s] changes. Hence, if the IN file is sorted on the keyfield[s] there will be 1 entry in OUT for each keyfield[s] value. If IN is not sorted on the keyfield[s], there may be multiple entries for the same keyfield[s] value in the OUT file.

1

- The accumulation is over all records with the same keyfield[s] value. Hence there will only be 1 entry in OUT for each keyfield[s] value, irrespective of whether the IN file is sorted or not. N.B. If UNSORTED=1, the cumulative totals option ALLRECS cannot be used. The process will automatically set ALLRECS to 0 if UNSORTED=1.

calculate-anisotropy-angles (ANISOANG)

Calculates anisotropy angle data for input to ESTIMA. The process creates a points file containing coordinate fields and angle fields dip and dip direction. This is suitable for input to ESTIMA in order to interpolate the angles into a block model that can then be used with the dynamic anisotropy option for grade estimation. The inputs to the process are a wireframe file and / or one or two string files. The dip and dip direction of each triangle and each string segment are calculated and written to the output points file.

MINDIRN

Minimum value (in degrees) of dip direction angle to be written to the output points file. If a value less than the minimum is calculated it will be rejected. Angles are calculated from minimum to maximum in a clockwise direction. Hence a minimum of 330o and a maximum of 20o will define a window of 50o. If MINDIRN is not defined, or set to absent, it will not be used. If MINDIRN is defined it must lie between 0o and 360o. Both MINDIRN and MAXDIRN must be specified in order for limits to be applied. The default is absent data, so limits will not be applied.

No Undefined 0,360 Undefined

MAXDIRN

Maximum value (in degrees) of dip direction angle to be written to the output points file. If a value greater than the maximum is calculated it will be rejected. Angles are calculated from minimum to maximum in a clockwise direction. Hence a minimum of 330o and a maximum of 20o will define a window of 50o. If MAXDIRN is not defined, or set to absent, it will not be used. If MAXDIRN is defined it must lie between 0o and 360o. Both MINDIRN and MAXDIRN must be specified in order for limits to be applied.

convert-apparent-to-true



Convert apparent dip angle to true dip angle. The process is designed to take as input a file containing the apparent dip and true dip direction angles and to create as output a file including the true dip angle. The main purpose is to take a model file into which the apparent dip and true dip direction angles have been interpolated and create the true dip direction angle so that the model can be used as input to the dynamic anisotropy option in ESTIMA. However the input file does not have to be a model file - any file that incudes the two input angles can be processed.

BLKTRI Access Using Command Line Only

Although it does not support a keyfield option, the MODTRI process is quicker to execute than the BLKTRI process. Another option is to make use of the Isosurfaces wireframe function, resulting in surface shapes representing real surfaces - although note that the output from BLKTRI and Isosurface generation may not be identical due to the calculation methods used.

z Input Files z Output Files z Parameters z Error Messages z Notes

Composite design and evaluation in a blast.

A blast outline is selected, and the blast holes within it displayed.

Composites maythen be designed, evaluated and stored.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

COMPEV takes as input two compulsory files, one containing one or more blast outlines as perimeters, and the second containing a set of blast-holes for one or more benches. These blast-holes are assumed to be vertical; they are treated as points, located at a particular X,Y,Z location. They must have an identifier (BHID), and they may also have a LENGTH field which will be used for weighting if it exists. INITIAL DISPLAY. The user selects a blast from the input file to work on; this defines both the Bench and Blast numbers which will remain in force until a new blast is chosen.

If the blast specified is not on file (e.g. blast 0) then all holes on the input file will be read, and a dummy rectangular outline constructed around them. The program automatically works out the co-ordinate limits of this blast, and will compute a rotation angle to align the major axis of the blast along the screen X axis; the user may override this if required. The blast is then shown on the graphics screen, with the blast holes superimposed. A set of gridlines in the original co-ordinate system is also shown, rotated if the blast was rotated.

Different colours may be chosen (under user control) for the two axes, to give an indication of which axis is which. A suitable grid size is chosen automatically, but the user may change or suppress this if required (DEFAULTS [/CF] command). A set of colours is automatically chosen to display blast-hole grades in, based upon the first grade field found in the blast-hole file.

The user may choose different fields, colours, grade ranges etc. by use of the SD command. A title is automatically generated giving the Bench and Blast numbers; again, this may be substituted by use of the TI command. During the blast selection process, the user is given the choice of accepting all the blast-holes or of only selecting
