About Defining a Working Context Using Product Structure Design

You can enrich the Engineering Product Structure with mining specific object types. Mining object types can be any of the following:

  • Surface Mine
  • Pit
  • Pit Phase
  • Bench

Before starting working with Mine 3D Design, you will prepare your working context that is based on Product Structure Design. You must create a root product or a site that aggregates instances of other products. You can then structure the aggregated objects. For example, you might want to create a site product in which you will insert products, extended products, and others such as terrain and existing imported files (OMF). To create mining objects, expand the Mine Spatial Structure category section when adding new content using Add > Content.

Mine 3D Design enables you to create features in a 3D shape.
