Workflow for Working with Pit Optimization

You can get started with the Pit Optimization app by selecting a terrain surface and referencing geodata, such as a block model.

Before you begin:
  1. Optional: Prepare an Optimization model. See Preparing an Optimization Block Model.
  2. Optional: Create a scenario. See Creating a Scenario.
  3. Define the economic scenario. See Defining an Economic Scenario.
  4. Define the required pit and phase control. See Controlling Pit and Phases.
  5. Define the required slope profiles. See Defining Slope Profiles.
  6. Optional: Combine blocks to increase the run speed of the optimization. See Controlling the Run Speed.
  7. Optional: Enable scheduling. See Enabling Scheduling.
  8. Run the pit optimization. See Running the Pit Optimization.
  9. Review the results of the pit optimization. See Reviewing the Results of a Pit Optimization.
  10. Optional: Review the optimized pit. See Displaying the Optimized Pit.
  11. Optional: Publish the scenario for downstream usage. See Publishing Scenarios.
