ICAMPS MineSim - AutoCad Layout Features |
|
| Underground: ICAMPS has two approaches to mine layout. One is to draw the mine layout using standard AutoCAD commands and later attach attribute blocks to each area. The other is to work inside the simulated mining module and use the special ICAMPS commands to draw mining areas or to create detailed projections including centerline drawings and pillar outlines. The system can handle any reasonable mine layout. The mining areas are not limited to rectangular shapes. Designs can be retrieved from an existing drawing and copied to a new layout and repeated as necessary. The system allows the user to mirror, rotate, delete and reshape portions of existing layouts. The mine layout file can include symbols, identifying legends, text description and pointers to labor and material requirements files and other information that will affect mining costs. Figure 1 is an example of a mine layout containing both development and longwall panels. |

Where the mine operates in multiple seams, all the layouts for the individual seams are stored in one drawing. The seam layouts can be superimposed or they can be offset horizontally and/or vertically for a simultaneous unobstructed view of all the layouts.

| Surface: Outcrops or economic considerations such as the cumulative average or maximum stripping ratio determine the limits of mining. The system has facilities for automatically determining these limits based on the user specified stripping ratios, gridded models of the surface terrain, seam thicknesses and elevations and physical constraints, such as, highwall angle, safety benches and minimum cover lines. The mining areas can vary in size and shape with any number of vertices, but they must be closed polylines. For contour mining, the closed polylines can be created by connecting the minimum and maximum cover lines if the geological modeling packages uses AutoCAD polylines for contours and isopachs. For area or mountain top removal mining, where the mining occurs within large areas, special commands are used to divide such areas into individual strip pits. In addition to removing overburden to uncover the ore, the surface mine layout can also include production benches, augering, highwall mining and valley fill areas. |
