Energy – moment relationship
Energy and moment are two independent measures of the strength of a seismic event. Their physical meaning and how they are calculated was described in a previous blog post. Analysis of the relationship between the energy and moment of events can provide insight into seismic sources. For example, blasts or ore pass noise, falsely processed as real events, tend to have distinct zones on an energy-moment chart. In general, events with higher-than-average energy are associated
mXsync updates
For users who have upgraded to mXrap version 5.16+, you may have noticed the new mXsync button at the bottom left of all of the windows. This button allows users to open mXsync from within mXrap to apply patches and complete backups of the root folder. When this button is blinking, it signifies that you have been requested to either complete a backup or apply a patch. Users will be automatically reminded to complete a
Caving Suite updates
The Caving Suite is a set of applications that provide tools for the analysis and interpretation of cave monitoring data sources. Currently, four apps are included in the Caving Suite: Caving Sandbox, Fragmentation, Open Hole Dipping, and Caving Hydraulic Radius (see app overview for more details) Over the past year, there has be numerous updates to the apps in the Caving Suite to assist with data visualisation, and analysis. Caving Sandbox: This app brings together all
Rock Mass Data Analyser updates
The Rock Mass Data Analyser (RMDA) application allows a user to import various types of geotechnical data (rock mass quality, structural, stress and intact rock strength) into mXrap, creating a geotechnical database which may be visualised and analysed in 3D, on charts and in stereonets (see previous blog post for more details). Since the release of the RMDA, various updates have been made to assist with data analysis and setting up the rock mass database.
Reset variables and filters
Have you ever been using mXrap and wanted to reset your filters or reset all your variables to the defaults? We have a button for that! Simply open up the workspaces menu in the top left of the Viewer window, then press the ‘Reset Variables to Defaults’. This should reset all variables, resetting all filters in mXrap.
New tool – Datamine file converter
If you use Datamine at your site, we now have a tool to help you batch convert the datamine TR and PT files into mXrap-readable dxf files. To get access to this tool, please contact the support email address at our support email address.
