About this course

This course covers the two triangulation tools that almost every Surpac workflow depends on. In the first two days you build Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) of topography, pit surfaces and geological contacts, then use them for volumes, sections, contours and draping. In the last three days you move into 3D solids: preparing sectional strings, triangulating ore bodies, bifurcations and faults, validating and repairing solids, and intersecting them with DTMs and drill holes. You finish able to produce clean, validated surfaces and solids that block models, pit designs and underground designs can rely on.

What you'll learn
  • Create DTMs from strings, spot heights and breaklines, using graphics- and file-based methods
  • Calculate cut, fill and net volumes between surfaces and produce sections and annotated contours
  • Prepare sectional string data and triangulate solids with the right technique for each shape
  • Validate, repair and set objects to solid or void, and report solid volumes
  • Intersect solids with DTMs and drill holes, and build solids from underground survey data
