Starting Up MineSight for Your Coal Mine Project
Start MineSight 3D
On the Splash Screen Click the Browse Button to go to the start of Your project
Click Browse
A directory structureComes up for youTo maneuver to yourStarting directory
Click on Ok to Start the Program and Project
It Asks You for Permission to Start a Resources Folder for the Project
Say Yes
It Asks You for Dimension Information in a Project Settings Folder
It needs to knowWhetherMeasuresAre metricOr English(ie – Imperial)
For an IllinoisCoal projectThey areProbablyimperial
Next it needs the Area Covered by Your Project
For our project the Minimums areEasting 2882667Northing 801997Elevation -100
The Maximums areEasting 2903787Northing 815177Elevation 500
Why these limits? – because that is where the data set for this projectIs located
Last Thing is Cell Size
Since coal entries areOn average 20 feetWide a a basic cut is20 feet or maybe 40With automation 20By 20 is a good size.(21.12 is because1000 is max number ofBlocks in a direction.19 is # seams we have)
After completing inputClick ok
The Program Opens(The next thing we need is a Project Control File)
Go theMineSight tabTo startMineSightCompass(a collection ofPrograms)
Pick Compass from the Pull Down Menu
You Get a Love Note About No Project File Found
The note tellsYou what to do
If you know theFile is thereThen move onAnd pick theFile
We know its notThere so we willGo on and pickFile/New Project
Click OK
On the Compass Screen Pick File
Then pick new fromThe drop down menu
Then pick PCF(you are creatingA project control fileFor MineSight toKeep track of yourProject in)
It Wants to Know Where to Store the File
Browse to yourProject directoryThat you choseAnd then clickOk
The Program Begins an Interactive Screen to Get Information from You
You will need toPick imperial unitsAgain(enter 1)
Each Choice Has a Pull Down List of Options
A 3D block modelDivides the worldInto blocks
A GSM just modelsThings like coalSeams(We pick GSM)
More Inputs
Pick a shortName for yourProject(I thoughtCoal wasAppropriate)
Pick the type ofProject from thePull downMenu (I’m goingTo go for coal)
Also Pick A Project Description
This projectExplanation goesTo every reportHeading youPrint out so don’tGet cute orObscene in anUnprofessionalway
When you finishA screen pushThe forwardArrow.
The Next Screen Wants to Know What You Want to Call the Layers in your Model
Last time I Checked mostCoal peopleLiked to call themSeams.
Next Screen Repeat the Dimensions Information
We will not beRotatingCoordinates(sometimes weWant to line ourReserves modelUp with someNatural geologicDirection)
We are Putting in Our Project Dimensions Twice?
The differenceHere is you areSetting up howThe computerModel of theCoal blocks willBe divided up.
Before you wereSimply telling theComputer whatArea your projectWould be locatedIn.
Next Screen Wants Us to Label Each Seam in our Model
The label is whatYou want theProgram to call it
The seam codeIs a number toRepresent thatSeam(your drill holeFiles will tip theProgram off thatThe seam hasBeen encounteredBy giving thisCode number)
When You Click Forward this time the procedure runs creating a
report and the Project Control File
The Report File is Ascii based and is found in your project directory
Creating aProject controlFile is routine101
Its output file isCalledRpt101.la(Rpt is forReport – theNumber is theProgram thatGenerated it –La is the oldName for aPrinter file)
