The mXrap survey import tool now supports files saved in Deswik’s VDCL and DCF formats. There is also preliminary support for the Deswik Unified File format (DUF), but currently only for DUFv1. We recommend either VDCL or DCF as the most reliable formats for use with current versions of mXrap. If you’re currently exporting surveys …
Mine Geometry Model Minode Generator is a new utility app which enables you to generate your own new minodes from a mine geometry model. If you’re not sure what minodes are or why you would want to generate them, see What are minodes? (note: that post describes the old procedure for getting updated minodes, but …
mXrap.com has a new training videos website! The new website has an improved interface and revamped training programme, along with some new videos (including event density isosurfaces and system design). The new login system allows us to show you which videos you’ve already watched. To access the new site, go to www.mxrap.com/mxvideos and log in …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
