About Defining a Working Context Using Product Structure Design

You can enrich the Engineering Product Structure with specific object types relevant for the Pit Optimization study.

A relevant mining model and constraining surfaces, are base components that participate in the optimization. Excluding components from the model simplifies the optimization and allows it to run faster.

This page discusses:

Before starting working with Pit Optimization, you 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.

You might start by creating a site product in which you insert products to host the model resources such as an imported resource block model and a terrain surface.

Design Range Definition

Ensure products that contain the block model and the terrain are defined in large range and are in the same coordinate reference system . See Reference Information: Design Range Management and See Customizing Preferences..
