Description
Requires Foundation and uCAD which are added to your cart automatically.
Cavemizer is an optimizer and parametric designer for block caving or sub-level caving operations.
- Multi- Footprint Finder : Automatically determines the best footprint for a single deposit.
- Caving Optimization : Defines your own caving stages, each with its own recovery and external dilutions; Reports precise mineable reserves for each caving stage.
- El Teniente and Herringbone layouts — generates drawpoint positions from production drift geometry rather than an arbitrary cone grid, with the two rules differing only in the along-drift offset between opposing drawpoints
- Parametric design — drift spacing, drawbell station pitch and major apex width drive the pattern; drawpoint drift lengths are derived so the apex is always valid
- Automatic development generation — production drifts, drawbell stations and angled drawpoint drifts are created as level development, trimmed to the footprint
- Design-driven scheduler inputs — drawpoint area comes from the layout tile and drawzone spacing is measured across generated positions
- Nearest-drawpoint block ownership — overlapping drawzones are partitioned geometrically rather than by processing order, so column tonnages reflect the layout
- Drawzone interaction feedback — live readout of drawzone spacing against diameter, flagging interactive versus isolated draw as spacing is varied
- Drawzone sizing — cone footprint entered directly or matched to the drawpoint’s share of the extraction level
- Block caving scope — layout rules apply to single-level block cave designs; sub-level caving is detected and excluded
