Coding A Block Model With A Solid - DATAMINE SOFTWARE

This document describes how to code a block model with solids in Datamine software. The steps are to 1) assign code values to the geometry objects like lithology solids, 2) add a lithology (LITH) item to the block model, 3) use the Fill Wireframes tool to populate the block model with codes from the solids, and 4) review the coded block model using visualization and table tools. Coding the block model with solids allows storing geological information in the blocks for use in calculations, restrictions, and reporting.

Why code a Block Model with solids?


Use coding for tasks such as flagging intervals and storing geological information in the block model. The codes can
then be referenced in calculations or used for limiting in certain processes,  restricting interpolation, reporting
statistics, and many other functions within Datamine.  You can code from solids by storing a code value to the blocks
that are within the solid.

How to code a Block Model with solids


Before coding, assign codes values to the geometry object.  In this example, we will code lithology solids to the block
model.

 1. Add Lith codes to the lithology solid object.

2.  In the block model ensure the LITH item is added to the block model. 

3.  In the Model ribbon click on Fill Wireframes tool. 

4.  Complete the Fill Wireframe tool.  


Wireframe - Browse for a wireframe triangle file. The Run option is automatically set when a file is selected.
Zone Field - Select an existing zone control field from the drop-down, or type in a new field name. All fields in the
selected wireframe are listed in the drop-down. The default is ZONE, even if this field is not present in the wireframe.
Zone Code -  Define a zone control value for the cells filling the selected wireframe. This option is disabled if the
selected Zone Field is present in the wireframe and'(From Field)' is displayed. In this case, the value is taken from the
wireframe(s). If a new Zone Field is defined, the default Zone Code value is set to '0'.
Plane - sing the drop-down, select one of the following options:
[XY]  -  subcell splitting is regular in the XY (horizontal) plane, but variable in the Z direction; this option is typically
used for DTMs or solids which have a low dip
[XZ]  -  subcell splitting is regular in the XZ (west-east) plane, but variable in Y; this option is typically used for DTMs
or solids which have a moderate to steep dip and are striking approximately west-east
[YZ]  -  subcell splitting is regular in the YZ (north-south) plane, but variable in X; this option is typically used for
DTMs or solids which have a moderate to steep dip and are striking approximately north-south
Boundary Type - Solid - Fill Inside: select this option to fill inside the solid (closed) wireframe
Solid - Fill Outside: select this option to fill outside the solid (closed) wireframe and within the
prototype limits
Single Surface - Fill Below  -  select this option to fill below the DTM
Single Surface - Fill Above  -  select this option to fill above the DTM  
Two Surfaces - Fill Between  - select this option to fill between the two DTM surfaces
Two Surfaces - Fill Above & Below  -  select this option to fill above the upper and below the lower
DTM surface, and within the prototype limits

5. In the Project Files, load the coded block model file.

6. Review the end results using the visualization tools and Table Editor.

The Fill Wireframe (TRIFIL) process can also be used to get the same results.
