Video creation
mXrap now has a video creation panel! To create your videos, simply open the ‘video export’ panel. You can then choose whether you want to take a video of just the General Analysis 3D view, or of any other tool in General Analysis. To make a video of the General Analysis 3D view, you just […]
Moment tensors – a practical guide
Moment tensor analysis is a topic that carries a decent level of uncertainty and confusion for many people. So I’m going to lay it out as simply as I can. For this post, I’m not going to go into too many details on how moment tensors are actually calculated. But, I’m going to summarise the […]
New b-value isosurfaces
The isosurfaces for b-value have been upgraded in the latest root. There is now much more control over the isosurface levels. Up to 5 iso’s can be plotted for user defined ranges. A linguistic name can be assigned to each level and displayed in the legend. A new video has been uploaded to the Hazard […]
Moment tensors in General Analysis app
Moment tensors have been added to the General Analysis application in the recent update. Beach balls and principal axes can be viewed in the General Analysis 3D view. There is also a separate Moment Tensor window with a number of stereonets and mechanism charts. Two new training videos have been uploaded to the General Analysis […]
Survey format converter
A simple utility app has been added to the main root that can be used to export surveys loaded in mXrap. Possible reasons to use this app include: Switch between file formats Export a decimated survey Export a survey with translated or swapped coordinates Combine multiple surveys into a single file Currently supported export formats […]
Seismic activity rate monitor
The seismic monitoring applications have been modified in the latest root update. There are now two seismic monitoring applications and a third app for setup. The two different monitoring apps are required because not all sites wanted to use exclusion procedures. The monitoring app with exclusions has a different user interface structure and a few […]
Short-term response analysis application
Another new app has been added to the Seismic Suite for the general analysis of short-term seismic responses. There are multiple features to analyse the short-term response to different triggers (events or blasts) in time and space. In later versions, this app will replace all of the tools in the previous ‘Omori Analysis Tools’ app […]
Mine Geometry Models application
The root upgrade that coincides with the software upgrade beyond v5.9 includes a new app for creating and exporting models of mine geometry. Stope, cave and development geometry is a fundamental aspect of most geotechnical analysis. Mine geometry also varies over time and capturing these changes is critical in any back analysis or numerical modelling […]
mXrap interface upgrade
We have started rolling out a new version of the mXrap software and root folder. Software versions 5.9 and above include a few interface changes. The new version is available on the download site but DO NOT download it until someone from the mXrap team has upgraded your root folder. Several root folder changes need […]
Survey decimation
Are your surveys really slow to load? Are you having difficulty rotating your 3D view? The problem might be the level of detail in your survey files. If the level of detail of survey files is unnecessarily high, it will slow down the 3D view for no reason. This is often the case with stope […]
