See how Quick Mode in Vulcan Interactive Cut Planner allows you to quickly create scheduling cuts to access reserves, volume calculations, and more, directly from triangulations.

Vulcan Interactive Cut Planner – Working with Triangulations

It’s vital for short-range planners to be able to clearly communicate mine plans. Learn how Vulcan Interactive Cut Planner is capable of cutting triangulations directly, which allows for more accurate volume and tonnage calculations, as well as easier-to-understand visuals for your audience.

Maptek Workflows 5 – Attributes and Custom Panels

The Attribute Mapper and Custom Panels store data to pass it through to different workflow components, making workflows more robust and allowing for greater customisation.

Maptek Workflows 4 – Creating a PointStudio workflow

See how to create a basic PointStudio workflow made up of menu command options to filter scans and create a surface. Part 5

Maptek Workflows 3 – Data input methods

Find out about the different methods of data inputs for Maptek Workflows and the relevant situations for each tool. Part 4

Maptek Workflows 2 – Planning and preparation

Learn about what you need to consider before starting a Maptek Workflow and how to plan out the order of events. Part 3

Maptek Workflows 1 – Introducing Maptek Workflows

A Maptek Workflow is a series of application commands run in sequence to perform regular tasks. Understand the benefits using workflows and how to get started. Part 2

Tips and Tricks – Getting and using licences on BlastLogic Tablet

Learn about claiming and using licences on the BlastLogic Tablet and see how they can be set to renewed manually or automatically and be released to allow another user access.

How to: Import drillhole .csv data into ISIS

Learn how to import a .csv file into a Vulcan ISIS drillhole database without creating a design file.

How to: Stack and offload leach pads

See how you can model multiple moves of the same material using Evolution Origin Solids to adapt to the needs of your operation.

Drillhole Planning with Dan Part 4 – Underground production diamond drill design

See how to create a production-focused underground diamond drill plan using the Create Drillholes tool in Vulcan.

Drillhole Planning with Dan Part 3 – Life-of-mine conceptual drill design

Learn how to use the new Create Drillholes tool in Vulcan to generate a life-of-mine conceptual drill design. Part 4

Drillhole Planning with Dan Part 2 – Drill Rig Setup Specification

Drill Rig Setup Specification lets you create a specification file that can be used in the Create Drillholes or Edit Drillholes tools to quickly and easily adjust the collar positions to align with underground drill rig setup constraints provided by drilling contractors. Part 3

Drillhole Planning with Dan Part 1 – Deviation Calculation Manager

Drillholes are rarely straight – torque and rotation of drill bits, and the rock material itself, can cause them to deviate. Vulcan lets you analyse your existing drillholes and calculate the average deviation rates to inform your drillhole planning. Part 2

Tips and Tricks: Predicting and analysing fragmentation

PointStudio analysis used in conjunction with BlastLogic prediction capability allows you to see if oversized fragmentation is caused by a blast’s design or its execution, informing continual operational improvement.

Introducing: Host Lock licensing

Host Lock licensing, the new default Maptek Account licensing method, means users can enjoy longer license sessions – even if they lose internet connection. Borrowing licenses to a TPM chip has also been replaced by host licensing.

How to: End licence sessions to free up unused seats

Maptek Account administrators now have the ability to end sessions to free up unused seats for other users. Users can request to resume sessions from within Maptek software.

Introducing: 2D seismic capabilities

See an overview of working with seismic information in Eureka including importing and viewing .sgy files, displaying bright spots, editing velocity models and interpreting the data.

Introducing: CAD feature coding

The new Feature option in the CAD digitisation tools allows for greater customisation and project organisation. Combine object properties such as colour, line thickness and stipple pattern, along with user-specified attributes, into a named feature that can then be applied to objects in one operation.

Introducing: Discontinuity attributes

PointStudio 2020 streamlines your workflow by allowing new discontinuities created with the query, smart query or extract discontinuities tools to automatically have specified default attribute values. Discontinuity attributes can also be applied or amended for any discontinuity or discontinuity set with existing project data.

Introducing: Inter-ramp compliance reporting

Learn about how the Inter-Ramp Compliance module allows geotechnical engineers to perform digital slope analysis, facilitating slope steepening programs, slope optimisation and design alterations.

Introducing: Enhanced Coordinate Systems tools

PointStudio 2020 includes support for new coordinate systems such as GDA2020, has streamlined the way transfers are performed and features an updated World Magnetic Model.

Introducing: Underground mesh filtering

The new Underground Mesh Filter will help you produce more detailed and accurate surfaces, making geotechnical analysis and reporting easier.

Introducing: In-field scan registration

Maptek R3 scanner users can now register scans live in the field on the tablet controller, saving time and improving workflows by showing exactly what data has been captured.

Introducing: Updated scan registration verification

Quickly and easily assess your laser scan data is correctly registered, perform automatic fixes and produce comprehensive reports with the updated PointStudio Verify Registration tool.
