Version Aegis Designer -Comprehensive Ring Design Generation Tool

Dynamic Ring Generation

Lay out your entire stope in seconds using user-defined drilling and blasting parameters.

• Model several blasts consisting of full or partial rings and slot decks
• Sequencing and timing can be generated automatically or edited manually
• Design and pre-sequence slot patterns for simple insertion into the ring pattern
• Use isosurface meshes to visualize the damage volume around a blast in 3D
• Visualize and compare different explosives within different patterns
• Easily compare relationships between drilling/explosive costs, dilution, transportation, mucking and milling costs for different fragmentation profiles

Visual & Intuitive Interface

Navigate quickly and easily with Designer’s modern and intuitive interface. Users spend less time learning the software and more time designing the blast.

• Visualize and understand the required blast volume in four simultaneous views – plan, section, longitudinal section, and 3D
• Simple click-and-drag interface allows for interactive graphical or numeric editing of hole and ring geometry
• Dockable window arrangement supports the use of multi-monitor displays

Block Model Integration

Designer integrates with a geological block model to enhance ring design with dynamic real-time slicing of the block model in multiple views. Planners can consider ore grade while they make design tweaks to rings superimposed on the block model.

Powerful Reporting Tools

Highly customizable report templates and IREDES export allow designs to get to production as seamlessly as possible.

• Generate professional and data-rich reports that can be reused on any number of patterns, blasts, or scenarios.
• Powerful template-based reporting with copy/paste support for the Microsoft Office suite.
